4 Months, 5 Months

8/10/2010 Luke Allen was 5 months old. I missed his 4 month post so I will have to catch you up on all the excitement around here!!  Before starting this post I had to revisit his 3 month post to remember back only 2 months ago.  The first thing I noticed is how much less hair Luke has.  My goodness he has definitly lost it all!!  He still has a think layer in the back at the very bottom and one piece on the top of his head.  Other than that it is gone! So here are some other exciting things going on with Luke Allen!

*He just started eating cereal mixed with fruit and vegetables

*He is sitting up with support

*He can roll over from belly to back and back over

*His 4 1/2 month check up he weighed 12.12 lbs (10th percentile)

*He smiles at just about everything that you do :)

*He is still the best baby ever!  Very laid back, attentive, and just plain sweet.

*He loves his watching his brother do anything.  Landon loves him too!

*He just now starting to drool right much.  He might be getting a tooth in there somewhere.  Dont feel one yet.

*His eyes are brown.  A little lighter than Landon's are.

*Everyone says that he looks like his daddy more now.  I thought he looked like him the entire time!

*Luke can pick up anything out of my hand by himself.  Most of the time it goes straight to his mouth!

*He drinks about 7 ounces at each bottle feeding.  

*sleeps through the entire night most of the time.  Yeah!!!

*Luke loves to talk back to you with his shrilly voice (check out the video below)

*Last, I think he is the cutest baby on earth:)

Here are some pictures taken of him over the past 2 months.  He is getting use to the camera because it is always in his face:)

 

My Baby is 5!!!

Wow! I can't believe that I am actually taking the time to sit down and write another blog.  It seems like a very rare thing for me these days! Last month was so busy.  We had vacation for a week (next blog) at the river with my parents, sisters and their families, and my family from Burlington.  Also Landon's birthday party (this blog), Addison Leigh was born (yippee), and I had to traveled to Chicago for some very exciting work stuff for two days.  I am about pooped!  For Landon's 5th birthday party we used some resources that we already had and headed down to the river.  Once again it was a last minute thing but it turned out to be a really fun and relaxing party.  The kids brought their swim suits and they all had a great day playing in the water.  We had baby pools for the little ones and the big kids either were taking a dip in the river or  sliding down the water slide that we had blew up in the back yard.  We cooked hot dogs, baked beans, and ate cake and ice cream.  Sounds like your traditional birthday party!  Hopefully I will be able to add a few more pictures later.  Half of them are on either Casey's or Michelle's camera. 

This is actually the night of Landon's birthday.  We made cake batter cookies with icing.  They were delicious! Thanks Lindsey for getting me addicted to another dessert!

Isn't that the cutest face that you have ever seen?  Too cute, Too sweet!

Peyton, Boman, and Landon loving the water. They are the best of buddies!

Wow, I got them all together at one time.  I cant believe it! Landon was in heaven with all of his friends
