16 weeks.... almost 4 months
I feel like it has been forever since I updated the blog. Things have been quite busy. Luke is now 16 weeks old and will be 4 months on July 3. He actually gets to start having baby cereal on his 4 month birthday. I know that will be exciting.
Luke has changed so much already. He is now able to roll from tummy to back, enjoys squealing and "talking" loud, drools -alot-, and his hair is starting to grow back. I nicknamed him "fuzzy" because he looks like he has peach fuzz all over his little head. He has also decided that he no longer wants to sleep through the night without interruption........so it is a work in progress.
We traveled for the first time to the farm and San Angelo while John was out of town on a mission trip. My mom rode in the back seat with Luke and he did great. However I did notice that his was more easily frustrated after travel time. We had a great time and it was fun introducing Luke to family members he had not met before.

Luke's likes: practicing standing, pacifiers, lovie(little blanket/stuffed animal), watching leaves in the wind, jumper, swing
Luke's dislikes: being burped, lotion on his face,
Cute things Luke does: smiles, laughs, sucks on his thumb with his finger up his nose,
Things we have learned: as soon as we get used to one thing....it changes

Big Weekend
We had a big weekend full of exciting things.
Daddy graduated from Southwestern Theological Seminary with a masters in arts and worship. Luke sat through the whole ceremony and did not cry....... but by the time it was over he was not really in the mood for pictures. So we did the best we could.
We celebrated my first Mother's Day. John surprised me with a compiled video of Luke put to music as well as a framed painted heart made out of Luke's hand prints and footprints. It was very sweet. John gets extra brownie points.
Luke was dedicated to the Lord at church on Mother's day. All the proud grandparents came to watch.
The next weekend Granny came over so Mommy and Daddy could go stay the night in Fort Worth to celebrate graduation. It was a nice break but we were definitely ready to see Luke the next day.

2 months...and them some
Luke had his 2 month check up on May 4. He weighed in at 12.2 ounces and 23 3/4 inches long, which puts him in the 75% for weight and the 90% for height. Luke is definitely a growing boy and is filling out quite nicely. Our pediatrician informed us that Luke should be eating about 32 ounces a day by the time he is 4 months........ I informed our pediatrician that Luke was already eating 30-35 ounces a day. :) Luke is also consistently sleeping 7-8 hours at night so we feel very blessed.
I started back to work on May 1. I love my job! Although it is a little overwhelming to find the balance between work and being a mom. I want to be able to do both 100% and the reality is that some things just have to go undone. My classroom is not so organized anymore, the laundry I started a week ago is still on the couch, and I am updating my blog to report Luke's 2 month check up and he is already almost 11 weeks right now.
