Lukas Alexander

At 1135 am , after only 6 hours from the start of Pitocin, Lukas Alexander was born on January 15, 2009. He weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.
(And I'll go ahead and say it... NO EPIDURAL!!!)

It's been a week at home now and I can't imagine that it's ever been different. He fits into our family perfectly and his big brother is in love with him. He's a very good baby- he sleeps, eats and poops. He's definitely his daddy's boy :)

We've been on a few outings already, but are trying to stay closer to home for the next couple of weeks. He's had several visitors including Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw who were here and helped us SO much by taking care of Adan. Also, his betrothed, Cadence, visited him for the first time yesterday. While he was in the hospital, Kaylee, Carissa, Juan and Dolores (who also helped take care of Adan) came and visited. His Aunt Terri and Maw will be here tonight to visit.

Here are some of his first photos and some photos of Adan on his very first over-night sleep-over with his BFF, Diego (Thank you Ana!!!):

Our Christmas Photo shoot

We had a Christmas photo shoot today. Here are the results:

Tumbling and A few words

Enjoy these videos!

Photos and videos

The first video is of Adan dancing and "droppin' it like it's hot." Usually, he's much more animated when the camera is off LOL. He is a goof-ball.

The second video is Adan's mean face/strong man face. Again, MUCH funnier in person, but here's a little taste of it LOL.

Also, here are some pics we took today. It was brrrrr chilly..

Adan knows animals

We have this "Big Book of Animals" at home that Adan LOVES. He 'reads' it a dozen times a night LOL. At first he would ask "whassthat?" for every animal. Now, he can name many of them, but he knows what each of them are. We took this video and he was being a ham. When the camera's not on him, he says alot of the names and even makes the sounds. I guess he was "camera shy" last night LOL Here's the video of one of the pages- it was too long to show the whole book.

Lukas' 3-D U/S

We had Lukas' 3-D ultra-sound yesterday. Here are some photos and a little video of it. He weighs 3.5 pounds. His doctor said he'll gain 1/2 pound per week, and since I have about 8 weeks left, he'll be about 7.5 to 8 pounds. I couldn't believe how much he looks like Adan. I'll post some comparison pics in a separate post.







And here's the video!!

Air show

We brought Adan to the airshow in Lafayette today. From the first helicopter he saw to the last jet, Adan kept saying "you see!!??" It was so cute. He also said "plane" for the first time. He was very impressed with everything. Towards the end, he was soooo tired, and could barely keep his eyes open, but he tried! It was a beautiful day for it, too. We had alot of fun.




It was SOOO loud!!





This totally looks photo-shopped, but it wasn't. Weird...


He was asking "where did the plane go?" LOL




Almost out, but still trying to watch the jets.


We weren't even out of the parking lot yet LOL.
