Do you think my mom and dad love me very much??

It's pretty amazing how much you can love someone you haven't known for very long at all!! Nate and I are just overflowing with love for this little guy and I think you can see it beaming all over our faces in these pictures.


Luke is beginning to show us affection in return, which is so much fun! He holds us tightly around the neck when we pick him up, he pulls our faces close to him so he can give us a kiss (which is more like an open mouth full of slobber!), and at times, despite his active nature, he wants to just snuggle up with mom or dad.

Yesterday, he cuddled with me for half an hour on the couch, then he perked up and started giggling with daddy as he played peek-a-boo with him. The tears started pouring out of me...he just makes my heart so full and happy, I can't help but cry! We are so amazingly blessed by this precious gift from God! And...yes, I'm allowed to gush...I'm his mom!! :)
