Growing up

The past week has seen 3 new firsts. Before I share them, I just have to show you some new pictures of my precious little guy. I love these pictures. I could just eat him up! (Especially because he was SUPER fussy just moments before and after these pictures were taken. He turned on the charm just for the camera so his audience would think he's an easy baby.)
Still enjoying his tongue curls.
Ok, now on to the firsts.

#1 Luke rolled over for the first time! Last week we had some work done on the house. Because they were working near Luke's room, we set up the pack n' play in the sunroom so Luke could nap away from the noise. Naps did not come easy that day given the commotion. I finally put Luke down in the pack n' play and let him cry it out for about 10 minutes. When he stopped crying, I went in to check on him and saw that he had rolled over on his stomach! I was in a pickle: Follow the 'Don't wake a sleeping baby' rule or follow the 'Back is best' rule?!?! You can see which won out. For the record, I stayed within eye sight for the duration of his nap to ensure that he was breathing.
#2 Luke and Daddy have discovered the swing. David first put Luke in a swing while we were in the mountains, and since the trip David has taken Luke to the park up the street a few times. The other day Luke was swinging next to a 2 year old who, as David tells me, wasn't swinging nearly as high as Luke. David was very proud. Clearly, Little Man enjoys the thrill.
#3 I saved the best for last. Luke is now able to sit on his own for about 15-30 seconds! I am so excited for the freedom this will buy us. Here's a quick video of him in action.
