4 Months Old!

Yes, way far behind.  I mostly need to do this so I can remember things about Luke at 4 months.

 

Baby boy is about 15 pounds at 4 months old!  He is definitely getting fat and major thunder thighs.  He has definitely taken on the Garrett and Ty fat baby look :)

 

 

 

He can hold his head up really good, but still hates tummy time.  He is in 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers.  He is still an awful sleeper.  I have started thinking that maybe he has some reflux issues.  He constantly rubs his nose at night and that is a sign of reflux. 

 

He has really started to notice things and smiles at everyone he sees.  He loves Garrett and starting to come around to Ty.  He understand that Ty is a massive photo bomber in all his pictures :)

 

He hates, hates riding in his carseat.  We went to Tennessee and needless to say the ride back was brutal.  He cried and cried, not a fun trip!

 

It seems like he has been part of the family forever, he is in a great mood of a morning just like Ty always was.  Love waking up and seeing that smiling face!

3 Months Old!

It's hard to believe this precious baby is already 3 months old!  He is a happy baby, he really just cries when he is tired or hungry.  His personality is really starting to come out.  He smiles a lot and just started laughing at me.  On the 9th of August he laughed for the first time at me.  I was singing Jesus Love Me to me at naptime and he just started cracking up.  Apparently that doesn't mean much for my singing. 

He has gotten so chunky!  He weighs 13.3 pounds.  It's hard to believe that before long he will have tripled his birth weight.  He is currently in a size 1 diaper, but that's only because I am trying to finish up my open packs.  He wears 0-3 clothes, but has started wearing some 3-6 stuff.  There are days I think he looks just like Garrett and some days he looks a lot like Ty. 

 His likes at 3 months:

Being held

Being fed

Finally spending some time in the swing and bouncy

Laying on his belly or back

Sucking on his hand

Being sung too

 

 His dislikes at 3 months:

The carseat!  He screams if he is awake

His pacy is not really his favorite thing anymore

Being startled

He is still a little unsure of bathtime

2 Months Old!

Luke was officially two months old on July 7th!  He is growing way too fast :(

 We went to the pediatrician last Tuesday and he was 10.8 pounds (7% percentile) and 22 inches long (6% percentile).  Bad news was he had an ear infection, which lead to the trip on Wednesday to the ENT.  We just have to watch his ears closely.  Poor baby has been to more doctors in his short life than Garrett and Ty combined.

He has so many facial expressions.  He really started smiling a lot around the 4th of July.  He 'talks' to us a lot during the day, but a lot in the morning.

He loves, loves being held!  He would be content being held 24 hours a day.  He is still getting up every 2-3 hours at night :(  He is a bad sleeper just like his brothers.  He does take 2 good long naps during the day and he if gets woken up, he is up.  He will not go back to sleep.

He is in size 1 diapers and I have just started putting up all the newborn clothes away.  He has really started to grow.  Size 3 clothes fit him pretty well right now.  I have started buying fall/winter clothes because they are my favorite clothes to buy!

I finally got some pictures of him smiling a lot.  It seems like I never have my camera around when he is smiling a ton. 

 

His likes at 2 months:
