Our little fish face

Our sweet little boy is sick again and this time it means business! We took you to the doctor today because your cough just sounded terrible. It's official you have RSV. The doctor sent us home with a breathing machine and antibiotics for an ear infection. You screamed bloody murder during your first treatment at the doctors office, but I can't blame you. The machine was terribly loud and we had to cover your face with a mask. You sounded so much better though and we were so relieved to hear you breathing better. Doctors orders are to repeat every four hours! And it turns out you knew right when you needed it and woke up for your medicine. It took a few more times before you kinda got used to the little fish mask but you were never a huge fan. Daddy would dance and sing for you to help you pass the 10+ minutes it would take while Mommy held you tight. You were such a little trooper through the whole thing. We hope you are back to our babbling baby soon! Feel better!

Sweet Smiles

Luke you are so little but you have the biggest and best sense of humor. You are definitely our son! You giggle at the dogs...each one you see! You laugh at your banana man dancing at you. You love burp cloths at hats. And you love it when Daddy sings to you in his many funny voices (which he does a lot just to see you smile). Having a sense of humor is such a wonderful thing and I'm sure you'll have just a touch of Mommy's sarcasm too! Perfect!

Yeah for solids!

Not to worry we get most of it in your mouth!
Just another day of loving butternut squash!
Did someone say carrots! These are high up on your favorite list!
We started you on solid foods just after your four month check up. We had actually started the rice cereal on a regular basis two weeks prior knowing the doctor was going to clear you for solid foods. So we cheated a little! Here is a list of things you've tried and what you thought of them.
Green beans~ eww
Peas~ they are ok
Green zucchini~ yummy
Yellow zucchini~ pretty tasty
Carrots~ The best!
