Mommy was taking too many pictures and taking WAY too long doing it! That isn't a temper tantrum is it?? I know a couple of Grandmas saying "Not my Grandson!"
Luke will take on Tiger Woods any day....in style that is!



Danny comes home just about the same time Luke gets done eating. So as soon as Danny walks in from work he is ready for Luke and Luke is ready for him! These pictures are during some of that special father/son bonding time. What a beautiful thing to watch! Danny is such a great Daddy. He comes home from a busy day at work and takes Luke, entertains him, changes him, takes a nap with him, gives me a chance to get a few things done...it is so nice!
Luke is going to get a hold of his thumb soon! Too bad babies aren't allowed to sleep on their tummies any more, he would for sure have his thumb by now! (Don't worry...this was "supervised" tummy time!)

These two sure enjoy "hanging" around each other!

One month old today!! The time has flown by!
Kissable feet!
Luke's favorite naptime spot...Daddy's too! :)
Grandma and Grandpa Steinmeyer and Aunt Kristine came up for a visit and brought dinner - yum!
Family picture!

Ready for the game!!!
Luke enjoys watching his giraffe from Aunt Kristine.
Flowers for a new mommy from a very loving new daddy!

For those of you don't know, my mom spent a couple of weeks with us after Luke was born. She was such a help to us: she cleaned the house, did laundry, did the dishes, cooked, pretty much made it so all we had to do was take care of the baby!
Grandma Tami's almost smile following patty-cake. The smile is on its way!
So happy to be a mommy!!

If you can't tell by the size of that tummy, Luke has been eating really well. We are so thankful to have a healthy boy! Can you see the light glinting off that big ol' tub?? :)
Don't you just want to kiss him all over?

If only the sweetness stuck around during the bath!

A Steinmeyer with a mohawk??????

Luke was/is the star of the show with all his adoring visitors.

It was love at first sight!
Luke is a little bit concerned about his Uncle Kevin, but aren't we all!
We had to supplement with formula for a few days and Aunt Kristine showed up at just the right time to be able to feed Luke.
Grandma Tami's friends made her a "Grandma Quilt". It is a quilt that stays at Grandma's house just for Luke to use when he comes for a visit. The quilt was a great spot for a nap!
Even with a full tummy, he's frowning.

No one really enjoyed the first bath! It is amazing how your baby's tears hurt your heart!
The Pacini family drove all the way down for the afternoon to visit us. Luke loves his Auntie Holly!
Luke ended up going home in an outfit given to him by Great Grandma Currie. It was the very first outfit ever purchased for him. So cute!!!
The going home outfit we bought was just a little too big!


I can't tell who enjoyed it more, the one being held or the ones doing the holding!!
Uncle Ryan was the first one to meet and greet Luke. He even brought along a Teddy that Luke loves to watch!
Proud Daddy!!!
