It's good to be back

I feel like so much has happened since I blogged last!  Luke is growing like crazy and our life has certainly been busy :)
At his six month appointment he was 17lbs 14oz and 28 inches long!  A very healthy boy :)
We have his milk mommies and newly introduced food purees to thank for this.
 We started with Avocado and he thought this food stuff was pretty neat!
 He loves Avocado, Green Beans, Peas, Squash, Sweet Potato, Mango, and Bananas and is a MESSY eater!
He was NOT a fan of carrots until I made them myself lol.  
 He's been in therapy with Birth to 3 since he was just 4 weeks old.  They have been working to correct his torticollis and strengthen his core.   At 6 months his development was reevaluated. 
Mobility = 6 month level, Reflexes = 8 month level, Balance and Muscular Control = 9 month level. 
WOOT WOOT!!
 Despite our best efforts his head was still asymmetric and required a cranial band to correct it.
 One of his fabulous milk mommies painted it for us.  We just love it!  And after 2 weeks he is already showing great progress!
He has got to be the cutest baby to ever sport a cranial orthosis helmet.  :)
 He's experienced his first snow (and it hasn't really stopped since)
 He's sitting up and now firmly believes laying down is for babies.  He drinks bottles sitting up.
 He's a big time Packer fan and has acquired quite the collection of fan apparel.
 His first Halloween
His first Santa encounter.  He did fantastic!
AND ... our first photo session as a forever family.  
I'm sure there is lots I missed but the beauty of sleep regression is that I'm once again up every 3 hours at night and will have plenty of late night blogging sessions.

Playing Catch Up

No worries ... while I was absent from blogging I certainly wasn't slacking on picture taking. 
Here's a little of what you've missed :)

A Forever Family

Friday December 13, 2013 ... Our Forever Family Day!!
When we began our journey with Lucas the six months to finalization seemed like an eternity away!
Little did we know those months would be filled with amazing moments to help them fly by. 
Our little June miracle
Our July peanut
 August love bug
September smiley guy
October Puppy Pal
November messy eater
December Stud
I cannot believe how blessed we are.  For the first time in my life I feel completely fulfilled.  
It's amazing!!
Because I am obsessed with this little man here are a few more recent pictures for your viewing enjoyment.
