Candy Corn
Happy Halloween folks!
Luke was dressed up in his candy corn costume today to celebrate the holiday. He looked fantastic until his diaper leaked and we had to change him out of it. Luckily the costume is so comfy, he can wear it as fun onesie jammies from now on.
He still has one more costume- his horsey one that grandma bought him (technically, grandma bought both costumes but I was there for the horsey purchase). He's going to wear that one this weekend when we go to visit NanaNana (hubby's grandmother).
We didn't take him trick-or-treating this year since a) he probably would not have enjoyed it and b) he couldn't eat any of the candy anyways. He should be fine to go next year (maybe).
Here's a picture of him as candy corn (taken by my mom):

Isn't he just the cutest??

Snow!
Today was Luke's first snow. I know, it's October, but we got a huge pile of the really wet slushy stuff. The snowsuit Luke has is packed away, but I had out an insulated cover that he could wear in the car seat. He also had a pair of really thick overalls, so hubby put the overalls on him over his normal clothes and then into the snow cover. Needless to say, we didn't want the baby to be cold.
Luke was fascinated with the snow when he first saw it.
His fascination didn't last incredibly long once he was sitting in the snow and soon wanted to go inside, but he did get to touch the snow.
It was a good day!

The Sleep Monster
My little guy is not interested in sleeping today for some reason.
During morning nap, which is usually mommy/baby snuggle time, he slapped my face pretty much the entire time. He was just not interested in a nap.
His afternoon nap consisted of maybe 2 hours after much coercion and he fell asleep for an hour this evening.
It's almost 11pm and he's not interested in going to sleep despite my husband's many attempts to get him into dreamland. It's going to be a long night.

Well Baby Visit
Tuesday was Luke's 6 month well baby exam.
Our doctor has been out for a bit for what I thought was a well deserved vacation, but it turned out she had back surgery. I still think she needs a vacation. She looked at the boy, felt his head, had him stand, looked in his ears (which he DID NOT like), and got his measurements. He's now 26 and 3/4 inches long which puts him in the 70th percentile for height. He's also 16 lbs 4 oz and in the 25th percentile for weight. The doc is very pleased with his progress and gave me tips on what to feed him at meal times. Hubby and I haven't been giving him bottles between meals because he doesn't cry for one, so she said to suggest it to him to see if he wants one. So far he's gobbled down every bottle offered so maybe he's just being polite by not whining.

Snuggle Bunny Baby
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.
