Picture Day!

It was picture day!!

Here are Maren's 3 year pics, and Luke's six months pics.

Sitting up!

Luke is working on sitting up on his own! Only for a few seconds at this point, but he loves the view from up there!

Also, here is a picture of Maren doing her new favorite activity. We've got to find a dance class for her soon...She loves to put on her tutu and dance around. She really gets into it. Notice the concentration as she closes her eyes to get the moves just right;)

FOOD!

Well, we decided that Luke just couldn't wait another week before he got some real food. We were eating popcorn the other day and I swear that he said, "I'm Hungry!!!" So, we gave in and gave him some rice cereal on Monday. He LOVES it! Better yet, he has slept better the last three nights than he ever has! Maren has also learning to feed him, and I can't even tell you how much she LOVES that!Here are some pics of his first food and the bath afterward.

Disneyland 2007/2008

WOW!! What a week! Maren had a great time (other than the quick trip to the first aid center...She got a little too excited and tripped into a rock). She met all the princesses at the Princess Lunch and went on lots of rides. She was a little apprehensive at first about

all of the characters, but once she got comfortable, she found the magic of disneyland (cheesy I know, but my sister is rubbing off on me). Luke did an amazing job. He was so happy just to be riding in the stroller like a big boy without his car seat. We got a million comments about his cheeks...everyone wanted to kiss him!! This was a "vacation" like no other:) We had great weather, don't get me wrong, but there was no sitting around and relaxing. We are thinking we deserve a spring break trip to Mexico just for surviving. Grandma's....are you interested!?!?!

Christmas 2007

Maren had a great Christmas. About half way through opening presents, I almost pulled some aside to use for her Birthday, but I allowed her to get spoiled instead. She LOVED it! She was SO EXCITED to leave the cookies she made out for Santa.

Luke had a great Christmas too. He got to eat some mashed potatoes, and loved them:) He was so handsome in his Christmas outfit!

Maren Visists Santa

Maren was so excited to meet Santa last weekend. She is really looking forward to Christmas and so are we!!

Four Months!

Luke is now 18lbs and 7oz!!! He is a very big and happy boy! Maren is loving all of the new things he does too. She brings him toys and plays with him all the time. Luke is sitting up with help now but we are still working on rolling over....he is also grabbing toys to put in his mouth.

We set up our Christmas tree and Maren is getting VERY excited for Santa to come. She has no idea what is in store! Brian and I went Christmas shopping this weekend and we found some great things for her! She's going to love it! Luke on the other hand gets his big boy car seat for Christmas (about three months early). Our pediatrician told us that we might want to make the switch around the first of the year (He also said that he is very healthy;) and our four month appt. went great.)
