little luke!

Babies! I love ’em!

Can’t get enough of those tiny fingers and tiny toes.

So when my friend Bailey a had little Luke a month ago, I bought my plane ticket to visit straightaway. How could I not see him in infancy?

My love for newborns has been in me since I was a wee one, but I really fell in love with the tiny people back when I was a nanny in Charlestown my first year out of college. Remember Alistair? I watched that little buddy from birth to 2 years and loved every single second of it.

So of course, I was suuuuper excited to meet Luke.

Bailey is one of my very best friends from high school. We used to do all the classic things high schoolers do. You know, like watch Dawson’s Creek, jam out to Backstreet Boys, and eat chocolate milk and cookies after school. The good stuff.

It’s kind of crazy to watch your friend become a mom. One minute she’s just like you and then the next BAM! she’s got a kid to take care of forever. A cute one, no doubt, but a little living breathing body all the same.

I myself am totally and completely excited to be a mom someday but as for right now, it’s enough just taking care of me, myself, and I. I mean, honestly, sometimes I still forget to brush my teeth in the morning.

Aaaaanyways. This little nugget is just too precious. And I’m just so proud of my friend. She’s going to be a terrific mom, I just KNOW it.

He is a peanut!!

Wanna see some pictures of him? Check ’em.

HE IS ADORABLE.

Oh, I could just squeeeeeze him. Squeeze him so tight.

So Bailey, who’s got a knack for design, entered Luke’s bedroom to be featured on Apartment Therapy… and she got selected! It really is so simple and adorable.

You can check out the Apartment Therapy feature here. I think it’s just the coolest.

While I was visiting I tried to give Luke a little photo shoot, seeing as I’m a budding photographer and all.

I think they’re halfway decent for a first-timer. But really though, when you have a tiny being like this it’s hard not to love on him big time.

“Hey, girl, that’s enough with the photographs.”

“Whatever, it’s time for my beauty sleep. Catch ya, later!”

Too precious, I tell ya. Too flippin’ precious.
