Skipping right ahead...

Is it July already??! Has it really been 3 months since my mommy has updated you on whats going on at my house??!!! Man...I must keep her really busy! I am 5 months old now! Mommy can't believe it! I am such a good boy. I laugh and smile all the time. I giggle and "talk." I really like to sleep (if you want to see me cranky, just skip one of my naps...then youre in trouble!), and I am "busy" all the time, playing with my toys, burp clothes...pretty much anything you put in front of me! My mommy thought she would skip pictures from May...and go right to June so she can catch up a little faster! Heres what I did in June...

I helped mommy fold clothes...because I make her do A LOT of laundry! I came inside after playing in the pool and relaxed with daddy. Me and my daddy are watching something good on tv in this picture!
I went to Angels games! I'm a true Angels fan!!!

I celebrated my daddy's first Father's Day. I surprised my daddy by wearing a shirt that says "Rad like Dad!"

And...I turned 4 months old!!!! My mommy had a hard time taking my picture this month because I was VERY interested in my sea turtle! I wanted it in my mouth!

April...by Luke Andrew Sessler

Hi everybody! My mommy has not had a lot of time to update our blog...she has been having too much fun with me!! Here is a little look at what we did in April...

The L.A. Kings were in the playoffs...my mommy and daddy went to a game all by themselves when I stayed home with grandma and grandpa! But don't worry...I watched plenty of hockey at home with my daddy! I am wearing my "Daddy's Number 1 Draft Pick" shirt and rooting for the Kings! Daddy got a new hockey stick...it's a little big for me still...but I know that someday my daddy's going to get one that's just my size...and I'm going to become a star hockey player!!

I finally got to meet my best buddy Caleb and Auntie Christy! Caleb's mommy and my mommy are best friends...so we were born to be best buddies! We went to the park to try and take pictures together...it went well after we both fussed, were fed and had our diapers changed! Mommy and Auntie's outings will never be the same again!!! Caleb and I had fun "playing" together! Watch out world...we are gonna be a couple of cool dudes!Caleb turned 1...and I slept through the whole party!

I had my first bubble bath in the big tub...and loved it!I went to my first Angels baseball game with my mommy, daddy and grandma and grandpa! They tell me I'm going to go to a lot of baseball games! The Angels aren't doing so well this year...but that's okay...I have the most fun looking at all the lights and the people anyways!
And...I turned 2 months old!!! Compare this picture to my 1 month old picture (in the post below) and see how much I've grown! They can't say I'm scrawny anymore! I'm a big boy!That was my April! I can't wait to tell you what I did in May! I will give you a little hint...I LOVE to smile...at anyone or anything! I am trying to giggle now and I am attempting to roll over (MAN...is that hard!!), I love to "talk" and tell everyone about the things I see and about my day, and I have found that I have hands! Who knew???!!!!

I love you!!

Luke's First Trip to the Beach

It was a nice weekend and Rob and I decided to brave a trip to the beach with our little man...one of our very first outings! We took Subway sandwiches down to Laguna and had a picnic on the sand while Luke slept under the umbrella. Luke LOVED the beach, and I told Rob all Luke really wants is a beach house (but in Hawaii!)!

I felt like we took half the house with us for just a few hour trip...ahhh, the joys of "traveling" with a baby! We did learn that it is great to have the stroller to carry everything on! And yes...don't worry, Luke is in there (somewhere!).Little Man...sleeping to the sound of the crashing waves in his stroller.Luke and Daddy...in front of the Hotel Laguna where we got married! Daddy is teaching Luke all about the ocean...

Luke LOVED laying on his sea turtle towel under the umbrella. He was kicking and looking around at all the new sounds.

It was a successful trip and gave us the courage to do more fun family outings!

1 Month Old

Luke turned 1 month old on March 14. I can't believe a month has come and gone--and mom and dad have survived (oh yeah...and Luke too!)!!! Although it feels like all I have done is feed Luke, change 500 diapers (and that's not an exaggeration--Rob made an estimate!), do countless loads of laundry and sleep (or NOT!) it has gone by very fast! I decided that every month I will take a picture of Luke in the chair in his room with the same stuffed animals. This way we can see how much he changes through out the year! I laugh at this, because I feel like I am officially becoming my parents (which is not a bad thing---it's just funny!), who insisted on taking a picture on the front step of their house on the first day of school EVERY YEAR to show how much I changed. I remember being so embarrassed and forced to do this ritual as the years went on...but mom and dad, it was a good idea!

1month old---with his sea turtleLuke's Great Grandma gave him this Valentine bear because Luke is our little Valentine! As you can see, he is totally over our photo shoot but I love this picture! I will forever be able to look at it and hear the ear piercing scream of my little angel! HAHA!Luke is 5 1/2 weeks old in this picture and he has finally started enjoying his play mat. He loves to lay on his back and wiggle his arms and kick his legs. Here he is enjoying tummy time with a little snooze. Our cool little man in his rocker outfit just relaxin in the boppy! Luke is very alert now, and enjoys a lot of interaction. He loves to be talked to, he loves to listen to music, look at his animals on his swing and bouncy chair and loves to go on walks (although he usually falls asleep in his stroller!). He has also enjoyed little shopping trips...Grandma Carlile and I are training him to be a good shopper!!
