NNNNOOOOO

....Tomorrow my little man turns 1 month old and this is how we feel about it:

Dear Lord, I'm enjoying every second of my little one's life, all his funny sounds and sweet faces. The truth is I hate to blink just because I don't want to miss anything!!! And as much as I can't wait for the next step in his development (smiles and giggles!), I beg you to slow down time because I don't want him to grow up too fast!....Thank you Lord,
                                                                                                           AMEN

Bath Time!

Luca's belly button finally fell off!!! The first bath was not the greatest! as much as Craig and I tried to make it fun by singing and playing around, he seemed to hate the water and cried the entire time!!! 

I'm thinking it was because he was hungry so the following time we timed it better and he was calmed and seemed to enjoy it, plus he slept much better afterwards :)

Picture Perfect

Lucas loves posing for the camera or at least he has gotten very comfortable in front of the camera since Craig and I are picture crazy and we keep "click-click-click" -ing away!

Our First 2 Weeks!

What an adventure this new life has been..and worth every second! Every day there is something new to smile about, whether it's a new face or a new sound or a new gesture, this boy has me (and daddy and the rest of the family) in love! 

Heading home from the hospital

In the carseat for the first time....he looks tiny!!

Mommy love

I spend most of my days staring at my little man's face with a huge smile on mine and holding him in my arms as often as I can and kissing him all over!! I can't remember my life without him. He has brought a whole new meaning to living and I truly love him more and more every day. The only thing I like better than spending time with Lucas is watching Craig interact with him. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I thought I knew how much I loved Craig, but seeing him talking, holding, reading and dancing with our son brings that love to a whole new level. 

During these two weeks Craig and I have worked on adjusting to our new role. Lucas sleeps a lot during the day and likes to eat every 3-4 hours and because I'm not breastfeeding, Craig enjoys taking turns feeding him, especially at night! So far he has had 2 sponge baths and we are anxiously waiting for his belly button to fall off so he can have a real one! We have also visited Dr. Blanchard (the pediatrician) twice already and Lucas is growing up wonderfully!, our next appointment is scheduled for when he is one month old for his first set of shots. Lastly, we had our professional photo shoot at Picture People at the mall when Lucas was 1 week old and the pictures turned out beautiful! Here are the best shots:

...and last but not least, we celebrated Lucas's first 4th of July with fireworks and family time :)
