Short post today because it's hubby's birthday.
Luke is such a snuggly kid. Best feeling in the world is snuggling up with the baby and taking a nap or watching a movie. Right now he's snuggled up with his dad, snoozing away. It's soooooooo cute.
Anyways, everyone have a lovely day.

Dagmar
We have two cats, as you probably know by now. Marian has been rather indifferent to the baby thus far and just ignores him unless he touches her. If that happens, she removes herself from the situation.
Dagmar has shown much more interest in Luke. At first she was scared of him. Then she was cool with snuggling the little guy. Now she seems rather irritated when he's in close proximity and bats at his head. Her claws aren't out when she does, which could indicate playing, but I still scold her for doing so.
I'm not sure why she's had this change of heart or why she's acting the way she is, but I'm pretty sure it all boils down to sibling rivalry. Not sure how to communicate with a cat to let her know Mommy loves her just as much as Luke, but I'm going to try.

Sea of Clothes
Luke has SO MANY ARTICLES OF CLOTHING.
I mean seriously. If I had this kid's wardrobe I wouldn't need anything for a long long time. I've actually started to weed through everything and sort out what he can't wear anymore.
Upon looking at the bag filled with clothing Luke could no longer wear due to his growing and I started crying. Jason found me blubbering and made a wonderful suggestion- instead of donating the clothes and having some be rejected due to staining and such, I should cut up the clothes and make a quilt. Not a little quilt for Luke, but a quilt for myself.
I started cutting up the onesies and now have a sweet little pile of swatches ready to be turned into a patchwork quilt. Of course I don't have enough pieces yet, but I will as time progresses and he outgrows things. If I have any more babies, I think I'll be doing the same thing. I'd be able to have those memories with me all the time.
Getting blubbery again.

Cutest. Kid. Ever.
Today I was searching for an outfit to put my adorable son in and I came across an outfit that was given to us at the baby shower. The outfit had some comfy fleece brown pants, a soft brown and white striped onesie, and a green fleece zippered vest that had a little explorer badge on it.
It's size 6 months.
WHY DIDN'T I HAVE MY SON WEAR THIS OUTFIT MORE OFTEN?? It's one of the cutest things I've ever seen and he looks awesome in it!! Ugh. When he grows out of it in a month I'll have to frame it or something.

No Good Very Bad Day
Yesterday was rough.
Luke woke up not feeling well. He started coughing, throwing up his food, and sneezing green stuff. Hubby took Luke so I could sleep in a bit, but I still woke up feeling like my head was stuffed with cotton. I was dizzy, feeling odd, and then I walked across the room.
My knee buckled underneath me.
Luckily I was not holding Luke at the time, but I went down like a sack of potatoes. My head was feeling so detached that it didn't hurt all that much, but I got the full effect later. It still hurts today.
Needless to say, we didn't go to church and we had a "family rest" day. This is the third week we've missed church and I'm getting messages asking what's up from other members. I just hope this doesn't persist.

Squirmy Wormy
I swear, sometimes this kid just won't sleep.
Yesterday, Luke got a few naps, but didn't sleep very long in either. When we finally settled in the hang out at night, he fell asleep for an hour, maybe a little longer. When he woke up, the fun began.
He just turned into this rocking, peek-a-boo playing, head butting, smiling, talkative ball of energy. I bounced him, I danced him, I played "So Big" with him. I did everything I could to tucker him out. Every time he'd fall asleep and I'd let him settle onto the bed, he'd be fine. Once I tried to move him to the crib, his eyes would shoot open and boom, I'd have to start all over again.
I finally got him to fall asleep for the night around 1 am. By that time, I was super sleepy so I just let him snuggle with me in the bed for the night. At 6:30, Luke starts flailing in his sleep, waking up, hitting my chest and pinching. He nursed, I got him a bottle, and by this time both hubby and I are awake.
And Luke is still asleep on the bed, snuggling with the cats.

Happy Mama
My computer problems have been solved! Yay! I'll not go into further detail as it's unimportant how they got fixed, but it's all fixed. :)
Anyways, there's not a ton to report. Luke is regularly grasping fingers to pull himself up to a sitting position, though he doesn't often get all the way up. We're working on it. Luke is doing really well with his walker too- he regularly throws himself backwards across the room. Daddy wants us to work on physical stuff just as much as the mental stuff, so we're catching up.
After doing some reading, a lot of sources say peek-a-boo should be played regularly so we've started playing every day. Luke loves it as long as his face isn't the one being covered. Poor kid gets claustrophobic.
Short post, but we're watching cartoons!
