Fall Happenings

Last night we went trick or treating at Baylor. I didn't get to take as many pictures as I would have liked. Those kids really really wanted to get into the dorms and get some candy! But, aren't they cute?

And Luke? He dressed up as Bruiser the bear, the Baylor mascot. This boy sure does make some crazy faces! Aren't his two teeth just the most precious thing ever? Or do I just feel that way because I am his mom!?

Luke at 5 Months

Luke is 5 months old today! This month has brought a lot of firsts including Luke's first two teeth, starting on solids, and rolling over.

The teeth came in easily when Luke was just over 4 months old, and I think that they are so adorable! Overall the solids have been a hit. Luke has tried green beans, oatmeal and rice cereal, bananas (his favorite), and pears. I probably should not have introduced the fruit so soon without having done many veggies, but I guess with the third I haven't analyzed it too much! I do plan on making veggies a priority for awhile now.
As far as rolling over is concerned, Luke has just started doing it very often in his bed. He is at that stage where he can roll onto his stomach, but can't roll back to his back. So I will find him laying on his stomach, raised up on his arms screaming at the top of his lungs. It is like he doesn't know that he could just lay his head down and relax on his belly. He must be exhausting himself staying there propped up on his hands, and I am getting exhausted by the lack of sleep that the rolling over has caused. I guess that it will get better soon though.

Luke is also getting closer to sitting up. He can do it for a few seconds before toppling over. He fell forward as soon as I finished snapping this picture.

Overall, Luke is doing great! He is a fairly easy baby, and we love him so much!

Luke's Foot :(

Well there is no surgery for Luke today. He has had a cough that wasn't going away, so I called the hospital yesterday. The anesthesiologist quickly said he didn't want to risk anything with Luke being so young. So we are back in the brace and back on the surgery schedule for November 2. Yesterday morning I was pretty upset about the whole thing, but I have readjusted my expectations and feel better now. I guess that the good thing is our little snowboarder is ready to go for Halloween.
