Luca Hill : Where is the time going?! Week 23!

Happy 23 weeks of your precious life Luca Bear!

Backes was getting a little jealous that he wasn't being included in any belly pictures, so we let him take over this weeks.

Every time he gets near you you roll, flip, and give oodles of kicks and punches. Although he stresses Daddy out to the max and makes Mama a little bonkers, we are pretty certain he's one of your favorites! You can't get enough Backes love. <3

You also LOVE music! As soon as you hear a tune you start to dance all around. It's awesome! You, Big Brother, and Backes have been getting down to Mickey Mouses Hot dog dance this week. You guys definitely have some sweet moves!

Mommy and Daddy headed to Mercy to see you again this week and talk to the doctors a bit about your delivery...which is just 3 MONTHS AWAY!!! Stop growing up so fast. :(

Seriously.

In true male fashion, you wanted no part in getting your picture taken. Anytime the probe came close, you stuck those hands right up! Goof ball!

We did get a little look at those big Gilbertsen lips that you have before you shooed us out of the way.

So stinkin handsome...

However, you were perfectly happy stretching out, mooning us, and showing off your boy goods. Typical boys. Oye!

We got a HUGE surprise this week at school. They let us in on a little secret that they had been selling Luca bracelets and raising funds for our family. It was such a wonderful surprise to see Big Brother walk in with a 'Luca Lion' and wearing his very own Luca Bracelet. Mommy, who is an incredibly great detective, had NO IDEA!

(We are still in amazement by the amount of love and support we get each and everyday from so many families at Chesterfield Academy. 'Thank you' will never justify the amount of gratitude we have for each of you and the overwhelming support you have given us through this gift, the constant hugs, kind words, and encouragement. Thank you for loving our little boy and for helping us to achieve so much more for our son. And thank you to Ms. Melanie for the most beautiful heartfelt bracelets for Luca and for coordinating this entire event. You are an amazing woman with the biggest heart. We love you all so very very much.)
