Hours ago

Here is my little man just a few short hours ago.
 Evidence of what happens when those socks come off his hands... look to the right (your right) of his nose... poor baby! No worries though. He is tough.
 He is growing so fast... what happened to my teeny little guy?!!!!
I am in love. 
That's supposed to happen though, right?!!

Swing

Luke loves the swing.
...and falls asleep in it sometimes. 
I am grateful because having Aubrie makes it hard to hold him all the time... even though I wish I could. He is my little bundle of chunky cheek love. ;)

Festivities

It feels like Christmas should be next week since we have been keeping very busy with Christmas activities since the day after Thanksgiving! 
Maybe we should have waited til at least the 1st of December...
Aubs loved painting these .50 cent ornaments from Hobby Lobby and was so excited to add them to the tree. There was a tree and a candy cane... and a snowflake that I am saving for her to paint next week.
Gingerbread House decorating.
So happy about all the different colorful candies at her disposal.
She was so excited about this... It was a lot of fun...
She was a pro at eating (or as she would say "just a little taste") the candies for the gingerbread house...
The final result...
A little rough around the edges, but a lot of fun went into making it!
Showing off the adorable reindeer cookies that her buddy Atticus and his mom Cindy made! 
They were delicious too!
Aubrie has been watching little clips on youtube of frosty the snowman and rudolph and can now sing the songs.  

She was so excited that she got to see Santa at the mall... we just walked past and looked in on him and she was happy with that... when he waved at her she nestled her head in my neck, got shy and froze up... we'll see what happens when we take her to meet him!!!

We were walking in from buying her Christmas dress tonight and she said, "I like reindeers." I told her I did too. 

She has been eating a chocolate from her advent calendar every day. Fun times.

This year has already been so much fun because she is really into holidays and it makes it so worth the time and effort to do fun things for her when you see her cute face light up!

Luke @ 2 months

Well he's almost 2 months... technically 8 weeks tomorrow... but 2 official "months" next week.
The boy is growing like crazy... and chunking up nicely.
Aaron and I were both baby chunks.
Aubrie was a chunk...
Luke is a definite chunk...
That's how we roll in this family
About the boy...
-he still sleeps a lot.
- he smiles and coos.
- we still have to cover his hands cause when we don't he scratches himself... and makes himself bleed! It's sad.
-his eyes still look pretty blue... not super light blue... but blue for now.
- he loves his sister, he always smiles when she talks to him
-he's wearing a size 1-2 diaper now
-we put away all his newborn clothes the other night. tear.
- he's wearing 0-3 months in clothes
-he is a good baby.
-cries when he is hungry or tired and if I feed him/cuddle him up he will be super happy and fall right asleep
-growing hair nicely in the front... still has hair on the back of his head. 
-takes his binky only if he's really tired or hungry and waiting to be fed... or being gassy!
-has his 2 month check-up on Tuesday next week... I will update with stats then.

Her Smile

She was watching something on my computer...
...then realized I was taking a picture...
...and there you have it... one of her "for the camera" smiles...
the other is a toothy grin!
Although Aubrie has only seen Beauty and the Beast and The Princess and the Frog she can name off every Disney princess as if they are best friends! 
Her inner princess has been shining brightly these past few weeks... 
she loves all things  princess!

...and dancing to all the music! 
This skirt or her tutu are a MUST as soon as the songs come on... 
then the dancing ensues...
I love this girl!

The Sibs

These pictures sum up their relationship pretty well...
 She is always loving on him.
 Sometimes he is unsure about all the love bestowed upon him...
 ...but he knows there are worse things like being gassy... or getting shots...
He can handle the LOVE ...for now.
