Primrose Parade

Primrose had a "Parade of Cultures" last Friday. Luke's classroom represented Mexico and dressed in Fiesta outfits. It was so stinking cute!
I wish I had better pictures of it, but it was really crowded so I wasn't able to get any close ups.

The Odd Couple

My good friend Katie came over this weekend with her sweet baby boy, James.

Luke and James are only 6 weeks apart, (even though they look like they could be 6 years apart). Lukie is such a little peanut and Katie calls James "James the Giant". They are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum when we compare notes from their doctors' visits.

Lukie got really upset when I put him next to James for a photo op...so then of course James got upset. It was hilarious...Katie and I were cracking up while trying to get a picture of our blubbering baby boys.

Game Day

Brent informed me this morning when I was dressing Luke that Game Day gear is NOT OPTIONAL...Lukie kept pulling the booties off so that he could suck on his feet.

Baby Bug

Luke has been so sick all week. He woke up Monday morning with a runny nose and a horrible cough. Luckily Brent was able to keep him home so that he could rest all day Monday and be ready for day care on Tuesday. Well, Luke had a different plan...as the day went on his runny nose and cough got worse and he wasn't able to keep any food down.
I made an appointment with his pediatrician for first thing Tuesday morning.
Turns out Luke had an infection in both ears and a really bad cold. His doctor prescribed antibiotics for the ear infections and a nebulizer to get rid of the congestion in his chest. Lukie HATED the nebulizer!
He ended up staying home with Brent all week which made for a very hectic work week. He went back to the doctor Friday morning and was much improved...their was no more fluid in his lungs and the ear infections were gone.
Needless to say, Brent has made it very clear that Luke WILL be going to day care next week whether he is feeling better or not.

Our Little Red Raider

"We interrupt this marriage to bring you football season"...Whoever came up with that saying was referring to my marriage for sure. Brent's been waiting for this day for the past 5 months...Luke's first day of football season.

Grandparent's Day

Today was Grandparent's Day and coincidentally Brent's parents, grandparents, and my parents all came over to visit. Luke was bombarded with hugs, kisses, and tons of attention. He was passed around like helpings at Thanksgiving dinner, but he took it all in stride. He was all smiles and seemed to love every minute of it.

The First Supper

Over the past few months, Luke has been sitting with Brent and I at dinner in his Bumbo seat. Lately he has seemed really interested in our food and watches every bite we take. He watches the food as it goes from the plate to our mouths over and over, so we decided it was time for him to have his first taste of food.
His first meal was the infamous rice cereal. He wore most of it and I'm not really sure if any of the spoonfuls actually made it into his tummy, but it sure was fun.

We've tried it the past three nights and noticed that he now has a runny nose and watery eyes...not sure if it is an allergic reaction to the cereal or just allergies or a cold, but we are going to wait a little while before we try again.

Here are some pics to document the momentous (and messy) occasion.
