3 Months Old & Luke's first cold :(

Luke is 3 months old! He's growing up so fast! He was a little bit more fussy this past week than he normally is and yesterday he just cried and cried.  I knew something was wrong, just wasn't sure what is was.  So, we went to the doctor today and the the doctor said that his throat was red.  After swabbing his throat and taking blood, they figured out that he has caught a virus that is going around.  He's been pretty happy today, so hopefully we're on the road to recovery!

We also found out that Luke weighs in at 16 lbs. 11 ounces today!

Here is a picture of Luke showing off his Garfield band-aid he got after they pricked his finger.  He didn't cry for very long...he's a tough boy!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Luke.  It shows off his cute little smile and how he likes to tilt his head to one side and look up as he smiles.  It also shows off how he loves to stick his little tongue out.

The Pumpkin Patch

Here Luke is all dressed up and ready to go meet his baby friends at the pumpkin patch.  We thought it would be really cute to get a picture of all the babies together in their Halloween outfits.  As you can see, as the pictures progress, Luke got to be quite unhappy with the experience!

Awww...I think Lyla has a crush on Luke!

Time to go home!

A Halloween Preview

I tried the hat on Luke that came with his Halloween outfit.

He's giving me the, "Seriously, Mom, do

I have to wear this stupid hat?" look.

Sarah & I got a cute picture of our little boys together!

Luke LOVES Football games!

We went to see Uncle Jason's last home football game on Thursday night.  Luke was again so mesmerized by the game!  He was so happy and content...he skipped his last nap of the day and finally went to sleep on the way home.  It's 8:30 this morning and Luke is still asleep! All the football excitement wore him out!

Here is Andy and Luke with Clint and Maddie.

Two Month Check-up

Luke had his 2 month check-up last Thursday.

He weighed 13 lbs, 12 oz. (90th percentile) and was 23.5" tall (75th percentile).

Here's Luke...before the shots!

Happy Two Month Birthday!

I can't believe Luke is two months old!  The time has gone by so fast and Luke has grown in so many ways!

He is now sleeping anywhere between 8 and 11 hours at night! This has been our biggest accomplishment lately :)  He wakes up so happy in the morning and is usually content with playing and talking to himself in his crib for quite a while before I go get him.  We go to the Doctor on Thursday for his check-up and I'll post all of his stats then.  

Here are some recent photos...

We went to see Uncle Jason coach the freshmen at Hillgrove last week.  Luke absolutely loved looking at the field.

As we were leaving, he still couldn't take his eyes off the field.

We needed a babysitter on Saturday, Kelly was at a shower in the morning so Uncle J said Luke could come watch football with him.

Here's our little Dawg fan with a big Vol fan!

When Kelly got home Luke was worn out and ready to cuddle and fall asleep!

Here's Luke getting ready for all the game day action.  He's been giving us these adorable smiles periodically and I was so lucky to catch one on camera!

Luke loves his bathtime.  The only time he cries is when I start putting his clothes back on!

Sarah is one of my many friends that was pregnant at the same time.  We went on a walk last week and here is Luke and his new buddy A.J.  They were born one day short of a month apart.

Luke looks here like he is enjoying tummy time...he actually doesn't like it at all.  He usually gets fussy within a minute of me putting him on his tummy.  He was able to turn himself over from his tummy from the time he was a week and a half old. (I promise! I have it on video!) But he can't quite do it now... I guess it's all that extra weight.  So he gets very frustrated.  Hopefully he'll be able to figure it out again soon.
