Hooray for Grandmas! We were so happy to have Grandma Eileen come see baby Luke when he had just turned 1 week old. It was so nice to have her swoop in and help us get kids to school, piano, and dance, do dishes and clean the house, and watch Luke so I could get some much needed sleep. The big kids were so glad to have Grandma here to play with too! Thank you, Eileen for all your help! I don't know what we would have done without you.
Grandma also got to go listen to Makayla sing at her Christmas concert while she was here.
During Luke's first week home from the hospital, we had 3 cute helpers to hold him and help take care of him. It was so fun to see how much Makayla, Logan and Savannah love their new little baby brother, and to see how he recognizes their voices and loves to snuggle with them.
There were also many late nights with our new baby those first couple of weeks home from the hospital. Little Luke had his days and nights mixed up and would sleep for long naps in the day and then be up every couple hours all night long. He also has had a sour tummy with lots of burps and reflux, so when he would start to fall asleep, a tummy ache would wake him up and he'd spend the next hour crying. Mike was such a sweet husband to stay up with Luke and hold him or sleep with him on his tummy. At first the only way we could get Luke to calm down and sleep would be for one of us to have him sleep on our chest. Luke is a snuggler and loves the comfort of being all warm and cozy with his daddy.
We also got to take Grandma with us to the zoo. It was Luke's very first outing. He was so good and loved riding in the stroller. He slept the entire time.
The kids thought it was so fun to pull out the double stroller for Luke. They all wanted to ride in it. Never too old to want to be the baby and get all the attention.
