Duke is 30 & 31 Weeks Old!!

Yes mom is behind on the blog, but it has been a crazy last two weeks!  Mom had her first trip away from Duke for a long weekend to celebrate Baby T!  (Aunt Chelse & Uncle Scott's soon to be baby girl)  Mom did have one big break down but Duke moved on with out a hitch ;)  He started a good trend of sleeping more through the night!!  But Duke is also eating a lot more solids theses days which is filling his tummy to make it longer through out the night.  Today Duke will chow down on Fruit mixed with oatmeal with a bottle in the morning for breakfast followed by lunch with veggies mixed with oatmeal and another bottle.  Duke will have a bottle for a snack around 3 and dinner at around 6 with more veggies and oatmeal and a bottle.  He will get his last bottle at around 8pm for is night time cap!  With all the solids he is also becoming a little more smellier ;) and the diapers are a little more full of surprises!
Duke is also more on the go, mom & dad are thinking he got an extra boost of energy with all this extra food because he wants to go!!  He is defiantly scooting on his butt, rolling non-stop and the crawling is about to begin.  Duke will get on all four and rock back and forth but no official crawl yet.  He likes to spin on his tummy to get around, like the army crawl.  Dad thinks in two weeks.  Duke is still standing great, likes to try to pull himself up and can rock back and forth on his feet.  He is able to stand on his own when holding onto the couch or his stand toy.
Duke's mouth has started to be filled with more different baby language, more spitting noises, and TEETH!!  There are about 3 more teeth coming through on the top.
The last two weeks Duke enjoyed some daddy bonding time, time with his grandparents, his first baseball game, and a trip to the cabin!
Enjoy some photos of watching Duke grow before our eyes.

Duke loves to play with books, lets hope that continues!!

Mom's last morning with Duke before heading to AZ!  It is mom's favorite part of the day, waking Duke up and seeing him smile, stretch, and give a hug.

With the beautiful MN nights mom, Duke and Jet enjoyed a run with the jogging stroller.  Jet got a little tired and had to take a ride in the bottom carriage part.

Mom enjoyed a glass of wine and opened the last bottle from Duke's baby shower.
