Food Glorious Food

At his 4 month appointment we got the go ahead to start Luke on solid food. His first bites of rice cereal became a family effort...

4 months and already with alot to say!

Luke's 4 month birthday was this week and he went for his check-up on Monday. His stats are 15 lbs 6 oz and 26 inches long. So 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. He is definitely not the little chub-chub Liam was a the same age although I think he is longer. I found this picture of Liam at 4 months and he just had more rolls.

We recently took out the old bouncy seat that had been put away in lieu of the fancy swing. Luke loves to swing the butterflys and make the birdie spin. (above video)

I also pulled out the bumbo to help him sit up. The problem is that with his reflux, the bumbo tends to make him projectile spit up alot more. The poor kid is also not getting much tummy time because its just pretty gross to have a face full of puke. His legs are really strong though. The other night he inched his way on his tummy across Daddy's legs onto me while we were sitting on the sofa.

Bampa Bo

The last few weeks have been difficult and sad. The boys' grandpa Bo ("Bampa Bo" to Liam) went into the hospital on Easter and passed away last week. It was a wonderful thing that he was able to see his grandsons but so sad that they won't have the chance to get to know him and enjoy him. I know Bo would have loved the boys' Easter madras pants which were purchased with his style in mind!

We took the boys to the hospital a few times and they did remarkably well. Liam took many trips around the unit with his grandmother and aunts and smiled at all the nurses. We all know where he gets that from. The pictures above are Bo with 3-day old Liam and 6-week old Luke.
