I know it doesn't seem right... or even possible... to miss the snow. And I'm not going to tell you that I miss the snow for the whole winter, because I don't. When it gets to be February and March and it's 75 and sunny, I'll feel really good about the weather. But right now, when Christmas is approaching, this is when I miss snow the most. Even more this year because I want Luke to experience everything about Christmas, and I'm not going to lie... it's just not Christmas without snow...
So I went through all my pictures and found a few with snow. Keep in mind these are old, but bare with me...
This is from a sledding experience in Grand Forks, ND. We had a big snow... 10in or so... After sledding we tried to play on playground

Today we took Luke to the doctors for his 4 month check up. He had to get some shots, that he did not enjoy. No teeth yet, and not really anytime soon. The doctor also told us that he was probly ready for some more solid foods. We decided to start with squash, because if he is anything like mom and dad and we start him with fruit he will never want to eat his veggies...
What a messy eater! But I think that he is excited about his new food. Next sweet potatos and carrots!

After thanksgiving was done, and we had eaten all the turkey we could eat, it was time to start getting ready for Santa to come!
As always, his favorite part was looking at the lights.

In preparation for thanksgiving we got Luke a Bumbo chair, which he loves. He likes sitting up like a big boy.
Yay! first thanksgiving and 4 months old!

What can I say... it was a little chilly but he loved it!

Here are some pictures that have been taken the past month or so. Like I say, whenever you need the camera it's never near by, thank goodness for camera phones or we wouldn't have these priceless pictures... even if they are a little blurry.

Alright, so I haven't been taking very many new pictures lately, but let me tell you, this kid has learned a few new tricks... So I know the picture is a little blurry and that's because the camera is never around when you need it so most of our new pictures are taken on either mine or Josh's cells phone. Either way, this face is priceless. Luke loves to stand! Although he can't balence, if you hold his hands and give him a little support he'll pull himself to the standing position... and he could stand all day if I would let him!
Something else I never expected was how much this kid would love his baths... These pictures are about a month old.

He loves the tub. He cries and cries when he has to get out and gets all cold. He hasn't learned to splash yet, for which I am thankful.

I almost forgot my favorite face of all... The lip!

Since Luke and I are home most the day together we spend the majority of our time... when not sleeping... just sitting making faces at each other. I have done my best to try and catch some of them, it's a pity that you always seem to miss the best ones. Luke is learning to sit, and I would say he's doing a good job. He can't sit on his own but he definitely wants to, which I think is a good place to start on the road to success!

This is Luke's First Halloween, and although he's not going to be trick-or-treating we still wanted to do something to celebrate. We would have let him carve the pumpkin, but he still doesn't quite have a good handle on how to use those hands.

I can't believe that he's 3 months old already! (well technically not until tomorrow) Our little boy is growing up, he's already gotten to do and see so many things, it's just to bad he was asleep for most of them. In September we drove up to Minnesota so that he could meet his whole family! It was a 19 hour drive and we stayed there for more then three weeks, it was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures of Luke just a few days before he turns 3 months old.
