My first mother's day

Little Luke is now 4.5 months old. Time has flown by, hasn't it? We celebrated my first mother's day by going to church and out to lunch at a French cafe. I look forward to the gift Tom gave me... a massage. Carrying around a baby (even though he is not heavy) and breastfeeding are creating tight muscles in my back. We went to the driving range last week (first time I hit balls since Luke was born) and I learned quickly that I lost all my strength and flexibility the past few months.

We took a few videos of Luke, so you can see him in action. He is a man of motion (which is why I think he is so skinny). The first video shows Luke laughing at Tom. In the second video, I am helping Luke learn to walk (yes, he has shown a preference for standing and moving on his feet).
