Our first Christmas






Well, it's been a little hectic here, what with family in town for Christmas and adjusting to life with Luke! Sorry I haven't posted any new grown-up pictures of Luke until now. He's really looking quite good now - not quite so wrinkly and squashed and pirate-y. One of these days we might even manage to take a picture of him with his eyes open.

In the meantime, here he is snuggling with his blankie that my friend Alissa sent him. He's lying in a cradle that was actually made for my grandfather by his father. Luke is the 4th generation in my family to get to use the cradle!

The close-up of the leg is to show off bad-ass Luke's new tat. His dad is a Cowboys fan and my whole family swears by the Redskins, so my mom is trying to convert him early to the good side. This was a fun surprise for Marty to find during a diaper change!

Fungo Arrives!!!



Fungo has arrived and requested a new name! Luke Douglas Luft made his minor league debut at 4:50 am Monday, December 17th! He is 6 lb. 12 oz. and about 19.5 inches long. So far, he's very tired and seems much more interested in sleeping and cuddling than crying and fussing. Marty says he's a keeper so it turns out we're not going to drop him off in the woods on the way home. He's got lots of dark hair and Aunt B says he has my nose. Right after birth, his left eye was stuck shut with goop, so here he is rocking his pirate look (What's Fungo's favorite letter of the alphabet? Arrrrgh!) and a couple hours later napping with daddy. We're all feeling fine and feeling grateful for a very smooth and comparatively very short labor.
