4 Months Old

Wow! I can't believe it. Luke is already 4 months old. We went to his well child check up and guess how much he weighs now? He is 17 lbs on the nose. He is also 26.5 inches. What a bruiser! He is in the 95th percentile in both height and weight. People always ask me how old he is and then say, "oh, I was going to guess around 9 months." He's a big guy but we love every inch. He is rolling over, smiling, often, flirting with everyone, babbling alot, holding toys, putting everything in his mouth, starting to take some good naps, growing back some of the hair he lost, and sleeping through the night about half the time. And most importantly, he laughed for the first time yesterday watching his day try to swat a fly. I guess Rick looked really funny.

Also, I started working again in the middle of August :( and have been majorly busy ever since. I feel bad for little Luke, even though he is handling it like a champ. I think he likes spending time with both of his grandma's. I am so grateful for their help while I am gone. Afterall, they are more qualified than I am to care for a baby:). It feels like a dream to only be there at work 2.5 days a week. I get a 4 day weekend every week. Love it! And I love the time I get to spend with Luke.
