Luke - 6 Months

Can you believe it?! Our little baby is six months old tomorrow, the 16th. Time has gone by so fast and I hear from a lot of other parents to cherish these times because they are so short. No kidding! We have enjoyed every ounce of our little bundle of smiles, almost giggles, hugs, drool drops, and more. Now that we have reached the half year mark I am going to do the rest of the year by month.

Apple Hill

We spent a lovely day at Apple Hill last weekend with our good friends Alli & Levi. I left the Apple Farm planning up to Alli and we hit up the spots best know for apple donuts, apple pies, and beer! We had a great time and Luke was a little trooper all bundled up to stay warm.




I loved the wood burning stove not to mention the heat it generated!

Look, a scarecrow.

A pumpkin?


Luke loved the animals.



Last stop of the day, Jack Russell Brewery.

He was such a good boy!

The happy newlyweds.

Harvest dancers.

And finally, a cozy nap after a long day.

Memorable Moments

Dear Luke,

                These are just 2 pictures of some of our most favorite moments so far in your nearly 6 months of life. We cherish each and every hug, snuggle, and relaxing nap with you. These sleeping snuggle moments moved quickly to the top of my list of favorite times with you from the very beginning. When you were a newborn I would feed you 2 times a night and after the last feeding around 5:00 a.m. I would bring you into the bed and let you sleep the next hour or so on my chest. I will always cherish the cozy feeling of these times. You sleep in your big boy room now and we wake you up when we are ready to get you up for the day, but we still get some sleeping snuggles in on the weekends. I wonder how long you will be so comfortable sleeping in our arms? I hope we have a few more years =)

Love, Mom & Dad

Luke - 24 Weeks
