Big little Lukie

Oh my. Lukie's personality is certainly starting to shine! He is hilarious!!! What I find the funniest is that he is very unintentionally destructive. He grabs everything, spills everything, and throws things around without a second thought, or concern for where it goes. It is so funny. I call him my little wrecking ball. He does not think about consequences (not that I would expect a 6 month old to completely grasp that concept), he just goes. He does not try to figure out how things work, or even care about different textures or colors or noises. He just bangs it on the floor, shoves it in his mouth, and throws it all around until it is out of reach. And he has so much fun doing it! If he finds something exciting, like a book for example,  he hits it as hard as he can over and over and over again. Oh, my big little guy!


Already I can see that Luke is not as outgoing as Anthony. He loves attention, but pretty much only from mom or dad, or in an environment where there are not a lot of people. He usually doesn't really enjoy being passed around at church, and did not like the big family gathering last month. Luke is also very cuddly though. He loves being held, sang to, and read to. He likes to pull on your face while you do these things. I have told him many times that my ears are not removable, but he just keeps on trying!

These two together are gonna be trouble, I already know. And I think Luke is going to be the rougher of the two. I can see it now... Anthony will come up with the ideas, and Luke will carry them out without a second thought. I can just see Anthony getting Luke in to trouble by "daring" him to do crazy stuff. I'm gonna really have my hands full! Hahaha!

Anyway, in the past week or so, Luke has tried pureed carrots, and sweet potatoes. He very clearly prefers the sweet potatoes, and since adding a feeding of veggies every day he has been sleeping a little bit better at night.

On a side note- why did I ever think that making our own babyfood would be a pain in the butt? It is so so easy! And I feel much better about feeding Luke things that are not prepackaged. Food processors are awesome.

Anyway, it is so wonderful to see Lukie grow in to his own little personality!! :)


I cannot believe he is almost 6 months old already! Where is the time going?

We're back!

     Well, things have calmed down in a lot of ways, which frees me up to blog. Something I really enjoy doing. There will be another element to this blog, as I figure out how to navigate the exciting and overwhelming world of food allergies.       My oldest is diagnosed with severe food allergies, and now my 8 month old baby is showing signs of the same things. We are managing severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish and shellfish. I have eliminated milk from my diet and it is helping the baby immensely. I strongly suspect he has a severe allergy to milk.      So our house has been turned upside-down by food allergies yet again. I had grown used to using milk products as a crutch for making sure my boys got enough of their nutrients. It is likely we will have to transition to a milk free home sooner rather than later. I have already cut it from my diet, and must say that I feel pretty good. I do miss cheese and ice...

Today, naptime = party-time. Today, I don't care enough to stop it. Today, I just close the door and let them play.  Today, I am exhausted in every way. Today, I need a nap probably more than any other day this week. Today, I will not get one. Today, there is paint on the walls and laundry everywhere, clean and dirty. Today I have to wash our comforter and pillows that our oldest son threw-up all over in the middle of the night last night. Today he is feeling fine. Today I am trying to remain thankful through the exhaustion. And as I write this, this line came on from one of my favorite Shane & Shane songs:  "Revive me, revive me not for me but for Your name." Today, I am thankful that God is God.

Saturday Fun!
