Many "Firsts" for Luke

I haven't been the best at updating Luke's blog this past month and he's had lots of "firsts" so I thought I'd dedicate this post to that!  Since he's past his due date now, we've been taking him out of the house and introducing him to more of our family and friends.  We've all been ready for this for awhile and it's so much fun!

First time at Grandpa and Grandma Walkenbach's house! 

First time meeting his cousin, Ben! 

It doesn't look like it here, but Ben was so cute with Luke.  He was really interested in him and excited when Luke made little noises.  Ben would clap his hands in excitement and he wanted to touch his little hands.  So sweet.  This is a good sign for my brother and Maureen since Ben will have a new little brother this summer.

Here's a picture of me and my brother and our boys :)   

 Luke and Aunt Maureen.  He loves her to pieces. 

 This wasn't the first time Aunt Jenn met Luke, but it was the first time that she took a half day off of work to hang out with us.  Thanks Jenn!  That was so fun.  You are the best and Luke loves you. 

 Luke's first birthday party for Ben's 1st Birthday.  Grandpa and Grandma Walkenbach with their second grandson.

 The Birthday boy Benny BOY!

 I promise Luke will be much more excited for your birthday next year, Ben.  :)

 Luke's first trip to the Lake!  And his very first pontoon boat ride.  He did great - slept the whole time.

 Grandma Tenholder loved having him there, of course ;)

 Luke and Grandma Tenholder.  He's going to have so many fun times out at the lake. 

 Luke's first time meeting his cousins - the Jones'!!  We've been dying for them to meet Luke and it finally happened this past Saturday, June 11th.  :)  Luke's going to look up to all of you so much.  We love Kaitlyn, Megan, Michael and Anna. 

Aunt Carrie finally gets to snuggle on her Luke man

 Scott and his boys :)

Luke does have two more cousins he still has to meet and I didn't want to leave them out.  Here's a picture of sweet Caroline and her new baby brother Jack.  He was born on June 5th.  Luke and Jack are only about 6 weeks apart so they are going to be good buddies for sure.  More pics to come when Luke, Caroline and Jack finally meet.
