Well here we are: four weeks in. It seems like just four weeks ago we didn't even know what little Luke was going to look like. Now we know, of course. We've also learned a few other things in the last 28 days:

Luke's tricks are few and far between at this point. He's still just warming up for the big show-off, guess-what-I-can-do explosion, I think. Right now, he's really good at doing this full-body, extended arms and legs stretching thing when he's awoken and picked up. We've tried to capture it on film, but haven't really got a good shot yet. Imagine a person trying to simultaneously be as long and extended as possible while remaining completely unbendable. You can basically hold him up in the small of his back and he will extend horizontally into the air with no other support. His other trick is pretty nice, too: gas-passing smiles. Most of the gas expelled from his body is preceded by a bunch of squirmy, wiggly, grimmace-accompanied body contortion. But once he reaches the end of the line? Hooboy. That last one brings the biggest, best smile to his face. Great [familiar] stuff.

We're getting closer and closer to the on purpose smile too. He's definitely gained the ability in the last week or so to really focus on our face and even follow us around if we move out of his line of sight. So that's cool. I think the big smile on cue is just around the corner. Can't wait for that.

What else? Not much in the tricks department. Perhaps you might settle for some more pictures? Look at these, and we'll work on the fancy maneuvers in the meantime.
