Life as we know it






So, here is a quick update of our busy life!

Luke's update:

Luke got some toys! He loves them. He stares and stares at his panda thing and grabs it. Sometimes I think it scares him though. One time he fell asleep in his carseat and all of the sudden I hear this horrified cry out of no where! I think he opened his eyes all sweet and groggy and saw a giant panda head! I'm pretty sure it terrified him. haha

He loves to grab things. We often give him his socks to hold just so he can feel cool and hold something... He also wrote his name for the first time. He personally signed a few thank you cards. :) and sneakily got some pen on his boppy at the same time!

He is officially 3 months since yesterday. time flies.

He sleeps entirely through the night. Usually from about 12 to 8. I often wake up before he does. Now we have to work on getting him to bed EARLIER!

He's working on sitting up. He does well when he is propped, but will fall flat on his face on his own. :)

Francisco's update:

He is busy with school and work.

He is an amazing Papi. He loves to play with Luke. They have so much fun!

He is working on getting his dad to bring us down to Ecuador this summer! We are pretty sure its gonna happen! :) awesome!

He is already entirely too stressed about the DAT and dental school. and thats not until this summer! silly boy.

Em's update:

I go to school everyday. Not much of an update. We get to take Luke to our creativity class every Monday night. We call it FHE... hehe. I actually don't have any homework due for the rest of the week! That in itself is a miracle. but that also means that I need to do my big stuff that I've been putting off for awhile.

For instance, I need to do my cub scout training. It will probably be a good thing since I have NO idea what I am doing with this calling...

I need to do my big creativity project that is due at the end of the semester-- but that is just a few short weeks away! (YAY graduation!!) I am planning on making a bulletin type board for Luke's nursery and then taking creative pictures to put on it for Luke as a keepsake.

I need to find a BYU cap and gown to hopefully borrow since I missed the deadline to get a discount on it... I cannot believe I am graduating from college! COLLEGE! That's like a big deal.

I need to do the dishes. Francisco and I have a new rule that once there are at least 5 substantial sized dishes in the sink, you can wash them and pass on the duty to the other. (We switch on and off who does the dishes) Well, I currently have 8 dishes... and the pile just keeps growing! ugh.

I should probably do some big cleaning stuff like vacuum and sanitize the bathroom, but that probably won't happen...

and now I have to go play with Luke because he is crying. I guess those dishes will just have to wait. :)

Luke is HOW big??!!!








Picture from today:
Luke had his 2 month check up this week. He is just perfect!
Here are Luke's most recent stats:

He is 11lbs 4 oz (41%ile) That is a jump from his birthweight at the 12%ile!
He is 23 1/2 in long (70%ile) That is a jump from the 25%ile! Wow!
His head is 15.25 in. (21%ile) Just a little jump from the 14%ile.

He must've had a major growth spurt!

Wow...Having one of these is really "handy"


Luke has discover his hands!!!! well at least one of them. It is so funny to watch him stare at it. He looks at it with awe and amazement . We are so happy to have this little angel with us.
We are not going to lie, it is tough going to school, working and doing homework, but it is SOOOO worth it!

Luke's Baby Blessing





Luke was blessed on January 17, 2010. He had pretty much ALL of his family there. It was great having so many people be able to come and share that special day with him. UNFORTUNATELY Luke had a blow out in his diaper as soon as we got home from church SO we could not take any pictures of him in his outfit that day! So sad. I just got around to putting him back in the outfit yesterday and had a little photo shoot. He did great! I love his smiles! The outfit is actually Nathaniel's blessing outfit that we borrowed. It's such a cute little tuxedo. :)
