Morther's Day

Happy Morther's Day Mom...even though I didn't get to see you today. You are honestly the best mom in the WORLD...I know this because...well I just do. You are an awesome friend and a wonderful Bumma. Thank you for having me!

Reasons to be a mom:

1. You create someone who TRULY loves you with all their heart.

2. You never have to be alone when going out...if you don't want to be.

3. You get to be apart of someone's huge milestones and know you helped them accomplish each one.

4. Someone to light up everytime you walk in the room.

5. You get to wake up every morning knowing you created this...

Randomness

Like I said...Luke is 6 months now. He weighed in at 12.6 lbs., 25 inches long. He has grown in length but not in width. So the next couple of pictures are to show that he is a big boy. Also, yesterday ago we started him on carrots and he did so good!

On tuesday, I took the day off to hang out with Shannon before she leaves. We went to hacienda and Kate called and joined up with us. Kate tried to steal him.

Lilly had her birthday party on the 10th. We had a blast as you can see.

I got Lilly a princess piano and Gavin was pretty excited about that.

The Podjans pushed Luke is the stroller...yes it is meant for dollies.

Luke now sleeps with a little puppy doy head that has a little blanket attached. It's cute!

6 months!!!

Cutie Putie Luke

Today Luke is 6 months old. I cannot believe that he has been in my life for 1/2 of a year. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect baby boy. The Lord sure did bless Andrew and myself. To celebrate I took most of the day off so we could take Shannon out before she heads back to North Carolina. Kate joined us for lunch and we did A LOT of shopping. Luke picked out a new exciting toy.

He did have his doctor's appointment...and things did not go so well. Luke has not gained weight in 3 months. He is 12.6 lbs but has grown a 1/2 an inch. So he is 25 inches tall. He still is not pooping without "help" so the doctor is scheduling a test next Friday to test for cystic fibrosis. Pretty scary stuff but I already prayed to complete restoration and that Luke's body would be completely healed. So just keep him in your prayers.

LILLY!

Today Lilly turned 4! I totally love this girl. Here are so pictures of the cutie pootie.

Easter

Today I gave some more cereal to Luke but he kept trying to get into it. So why fight it. It ended up from his eye brows to his chin. Too cute!

On Easter I searched for an outfit for Luke to wear to church. There really aren't much options for boys so he decided to goes as a preppy golfer. He was pimpin it!

During church Gavin was playing Papa's tambourine and doing flags with Shannon. I sure will miss them when they leave.

Luke and Blake

Yesterday I got together with Shanna and Blake. As you can see Luke had a blast. Luke is almost 5 and half months old and Blake is almost 4 months. Shanna said that Blake is now 15 pounds. It seems that all the little ones are passing him up. Well...it doesn't seem to bother him.

We thought it was funny to see the size difference in their thighs. And yes...Luke is sucking Blake's hand and not his own. He just wants his friend to know that he is right there for him.

Cereal

So Luke got this full body rash and we went to the doctor and wasn't sure what it could be. It is either caused by the shake diet I've been on for two weeks or his immune system is fighting off something and will need to be placed of styroids. They weighed him and he has not gained an ounce in a month. Still 12.8 lbs. Oh and he stopped pooping on his own again. Well he did poo for 3 weeks...he must of got tired. The video is of Luke trying cereal the very first time, sorry that my arm is in the way. There's a better video of him eat the second time on facebook.
