This video is just too cute not to post -- his smile & pterodactyl squeal can finally be submitted as evidence.

Happy Birthday, Grandma!
Today is Luke's Grandma Rosella's birthday. In honor of the occasion, he created this special message for her.
He also says "your present is on its way!"

Baby of 1,000 Outfits
A selection of outfits that Luke has sported over the past few days....
He loves his blue sleepy sack, but unfortunately his round Charlie Brown noggin is too big for the hat already.
Not only is he Mom's sweet pea, but organic as well!
Stripy elephants love peanuts (note the tiny ears on top of his hat).
As the proud mom, I can't help but agree with the choo choo shirt; he's "handsome."
Luke has been reconsidering his berth on Dad's Team for his #01 status on the Baby Team.

Hobo(ken) Baby
This past Saturday, the three of us were invited to help our friends, The Baldonados, celebrate Manay's birthday at a deluxe Italian lunch party. This offered us an excuse to catch up with close family friends, and also to introduce Luke to his future wife, Amelia Jane Swedloff - daughter of Rick & Ann Marie.
Having been raised right, Paul & I dressed Luke up in his Saturday best for the occasion. He was decked out in his plaid pants, the fancy Danish onesie from Uncle Lenny, his bear Robeez, and matching socks. He looked sooo handsome. I would post a picture here...but our plans were foiled by a sweetly sleeping baby. When we arrived at the party, Luke was enjoying the tail end of a car nap, so we let him finish his snooze. When we went to change him, not two hours since his last diaper change, a Haz Mat team was nearly dispatched to Andrea's in Waldwick! Suffice it to say that an a*$plosion like none witnessed in the Casey home heretofore - let alone on the road - had occurred within the confines of those plaid pants. His pants, his onesie, and even his matching socks were rendered stinky and unwearable. I thought I had been quite clever in packing an extra shirt for him, but had not thought clean pants to be necessary for a quick afternoon outing. Oh, how wrong I was! Fortunately, Amelia's mom has 4 months more experience on us and had a spare pair of pants she kindly allowed Luke to borrow. They were mighty large on Luke (they were hiked up to his chest), but he didn't mind at all.
By the time we all returned to the Baldonado's house for baby playtime, both Luke and Amelia had foregone pants all together, and enjoyed some quality Busy Mat time in tops & dipes.
Luke returned to Hoboken not in the adorable, dapper outfit he left in, but in a shirt, a dipe (he had to steal from Mrs. Baldonado's stash!), and his car seat. He was quite happy to get home and put on his PJs to regain some dignity.
Fear not, he made it through Easter Sunday with his pants on.

Random Notes
Hola, amigos. I know it's been a long time since we rapped at ya, so to make up for it, here are a few photos to scroll through.
First up: Luke is starting to smile, and it is far from certain that he can pull it off every time he tries. Often, attempts start with him sounding like a pterodactyl swooping in on its prey. Although a successful attempt has not been captured on film, this pic is still pretty cute.
Next up: As Luke is happy on his play mat for longer and longer, we have more time to take some dramatic photos, instead of just trying to snap a few off before he gets red faced and cries.
Of course, he should be staring in the mirror instead of the wall. Also, that bug with glasses behind him is a bit creepy.

One Eyebrow/No Eyebrows
Last Sunday, Charlie and Sharren came over to see Luke and discuss when he can start up with the bass.
Before Chinese food, Unky Charlie held a baby for the first time since Clinton was in the White House. Luke set a good standard for babies being held by Charlie this millennium, despite his expression in this photo.
