2 Month Update




  • He's Cute!  Don't tell Luke, but I had my doubts at first.  I mean I, of course, always thought he was irrestistable, but any amount of objectivity told me that his squirmy, acne-covered, flaky self wasn't winning any cutest baby contests.  He's coming into his own now though and he's pretty decent.
  • He's Big! 14 lbs, 7oz. and 24.5 inches long (95 percentile each). Based on our family track record I'm not really surprised, though if he grew this much loosing at least one meal a day ("Pukey Lukey," remember?) I'm waiting to see what he can do when he keeps it all down.  My arms are sore at the very thought of it...
  • He's a Sleeper (or used to be)!  Before our Chicago trip he was pulling some great long stretches (some 6-7 hours).  The past few nights we've been back to 2-3 hours.  I'm holding onto the hope that he still has it in him.  Dig deep, my child.
  • He's Social!  When not in the throws of tummy pain-generally every night for 3 hours- he is a happy fellow with the biggest smile you ever did see (but haven't seen yet as I can't catch it on camera). He tries desperately to converse as well, our doctor thinks he will be a big talker.  Not sure how I'll handle two of those in our home. Or car.
So that's it: he's cute, big and social. I'll take four of him.  Happy 2 months, Baby Boy!

Scarlett said yesterday, "And then on Saturday Jude and Mr. Mark and Miss Amanda will come with baby Luke and we will go to the airplane museum, okay??"Her mama got all teary explaining that Denver is very far, but someday...

We miss you guys, and are looking forward to meeting your cutie-pie.
