Leggings-as-pants #5,043

I was on campus the other day with Luke in the stroller (when I'm in campus with Luke I look like a walking safe sex PSA -- and the undergrads, you can see them thinking about it). I walked past the bus stop and saw a young woman.

Wearing leggings-as-pants (new people -- I have a crusade against leggings a pants).

And her leggings-as-pants were so tight and sheer that you could see her SPARKLY underwear right through them.

She was sparkling right through the butt of her leggings.

3 months old!

Luke was 3 months old on Friday!



Happy Baby!



This is the "Godfather" picture. When we looked at it, I thought he looked like the godfather with his monkey henchmen behind him.



Blue steel?



At 3 Months, Luke:

-- Can roll over from tummy to back.
-- Can laugh (which he has done exactly twice, lol)
-- Coos a lot
-- Has started to eat less frequently, about every three hours
-- Will hold some toys and reach out to touch and hold things
-- Likes looking at and touching other people's hands
-- Needs a bib because he is such a drooler
-- Sometimes likes looking at the TV
-- Doesn't like to be by himself in the back of the car
-- We usually start bedtime routine at 10 p.m. He is usually in bed by 10:30 or so -- He usually sleeps to somewhere between 7:30 and 9 and then goes back to bed for another couple of hours or so.

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Already 1 month old?

Time is flying!

Introducing...

Making his grand debut on Buried the Lead in a photo where he's about 6 days old (he's 8 days old now) ---

LUKE EDWARD



Born August 12 at 7:25 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs., 4 oz., and was 21.5 inches long.

Jungle Room!

I know I have been out of the blogosphere most of the summer. Truth is, I'm really boring. Lots of data entry, relaxing, cleaning, etc.

We're supposed to have a baby here in about a week (although the Doc thinks he's going to be late -- I guess he'll be just like me!). I thought I would show some pictures of Luke's whimsical jungle room! You'll see mismatched furniture, lots of jungle animals, and a Layla dog who likes to lay in the middle of everything. Layla also goes to Luke's door pretty much every night so we let her in to check things out. Because of our lease, we couldn't paint or do proper wallpaper, but we went wild and crazy on the stick-on border and decals.




The over the door sign was made by our friend Jessica!



(ugh, fuzzy, but you can get an idea of the room itself.)





Books and toys and some awesome blankets.







Hal loves monkeys. :)



The duck has been in my dad's family for a very long time!



My finished artwork. It's hanging over his dresser (which is my old dresser).






Hal's nightstand had to be relegated to Luke's room when he rearranged our bedroom to fit Luke's pack n play (where he'll be sleeping for the first couple of weeks. At least, we hope he'll be sleeping).

A day at the zoo

Hal and I used our day today to walk around the Indianapolis Zoo (among other things). Well, Hal walked...I waddled. :) One of the cool things at the zoo is feeding the giraffes! I fed a 10-month-old baby giraffe, and Hal got to feed Mama, while baby tried to lick his hand off.
