My beautiful son has apparently inherited his father's skin. I'm envious.
I've been taking the boy on walks in the park and, in order for him to get a decent amount of vitamin D, I have not been putting sunscreen on him. If you're screaming at me through the computer screen, that's cool. I like screaming I can't hear.
Luke has not had a single sunburn since we started our walks. He gets his head covered by a nice little shade, but his legs, arms, and sometimes his face remain exposed. His beautiful porcelain skin remains untainted. Meanwhile, my skin has taken on its usual lobster red after being in the sun for longer than 5 minutes.

Oh Geez...
I sit down just a few moments ago to write when my hubby said, "I think he farted," in reference to Luke. "Can you hold him quick while I get a drink?"
It wasn't a fart.
He's now clean and back with his Dad, gurgling and kicking his legs.
I'm starting to think my main functions in life are food maker and poop cleaner. I've earned the title of "food maker" in two ways- I cook the majority of the meals for myself and my husband and not only do I provide milk, but I also make the majority of the bottles. Poop cleaner is also a cherished title since I clean the baby's poopies and will resume the "cleaning the cat box" chore shortly.
Is there an existence more fun than mine? I'm hard pressed to find one.

Portrait of an Awesome Dad
This past Father's Day, we took a walk in the park not too far away from where we live. My parents and sister came with us for the journey and though there was much talking and distraction, I managed to get an awesome picture.
The love in this picture is just so cool.

Sickies
I've woken up with a sore throat and crusty nose for the past two days so in order to nip whatever it is in the bud, Luke and I haven't been doing much more than sleeping. Though it may just be allergies, I hope that all this laying around prevents Luke from getting sick. I think I might take him for a walk sick or no tomorrow since he has a well baby doctor's appointment.
Cute thing- last Friday, hubby took the boy into another room so I could have some "me" time. I came into the room to see how they were doing and found this:
It's a little dark, but I didn't want to use the flash and disturb them. The cuteness was just too much!

The Weekend
This past weekend, my parents and sister took a trip up to our area for a little face time with the baby. They hadn't seen Luke since right after he was born, so we spent as much time as possible with them while they were here.
Saturday night we decided to go to the drive in theatre for Green Lantern and Kung Fu Panda 2. Luke went in the van with my family while hubby and I drove separate to have a date of sorts. Both movies were great and we didn't get home til 1:30 am.
Sunday was Father's Day. The adventure began at 6:15 am when Luke started screaming for food. There's no time like the present, so I gave hubby his gifts of Transformers DVDs (the original TV series, not the recent movies). We watched a few and while they don't stand the test of time for us adults, they'll be perfect for sharing with Luke when he's old enough to understand them.
Luke and I went to church with my family while hubby babysat the family pooch and then the lot of us went out to lunch. We parted ways, sending my family back to their home before travelling to hubby's Mom's for a baby visit. Hubby got some lovely Father's Day shirts and some fresh spinach from the garden before we went over to his Dad's for dinner. After many hours, hugs, and feedings, our little family unit headed home to crash.
To boil it down, we saw my mother, father, and sister, and hubby's mother, father, step-mother, step-brother, and sister all in one day and running on four hours of sleep. Happy Father's Day folks.

Skin
Taking a small turn away from my son for a second, I'd like to comment on how my skin is going absolutely bonkers.
It started with small, clear fluid filled bumps on my pointer and middle fingers on my right hand. These itched, I scratched, and now the skin is continuing to peel rather rapidly off of those fingers. My knuckles have also taken on the texture of steel wool and the skin on the ends of my fingers keep bubbling up and peeling away. This is starting to spread to my left hand.
Yesterday, I went to eat and felt a pain in the corner of my mouth. The skin had split and so I kept my mouth as shut as possible to try and let it heal. Of course this didn't stop it from re-opening every time I opened my mouth. It's now looking pretty nasty and I keep putting hydrogen peroxide on it.
Luckily none of this seems to be passing off to my son. Hopefully it's just severe dry skin due to the weather, but I'm unsure of how to fix it besides repeatedly applying lotion.
