bumbo

Luke is a long way from sitting on his own. The Bumbo is a great way to help build up the muscles he'll need for this. He tolerates it for about five minutes at a time. That's about all the time Tim will allow him to have it anyway.

thrilled, i'm sure

he loves his changing table

rolling over

11 weeks



On Monday, I put Luke down on his tummy, looked away, and looked back to find him on his back. I thought that maybe I had placed him crooked and he'd tipped because it seems too soon for him to be rolling around already. However, he did the same thing with my mother on Tuesday and again with me Tuesday evening, so it's official. He's rolling over from front to back. When he's on his back now, he pulls his legs up as high as he can and kicks which makes his whole body move. If he keeps that up, he'll be rolling from back to front before long.

because he can lift his head so high, it must pull him over onto his back. i've yet to see it happen.

first run with mom

Yesterday was the first morning we've had of mild weather when I've had the motivation to run. Luke slept through all but the end and was happy to look around when he woke. Hopefully, I'll do this on the mornings when Timothy is at nursery school.

two months

Luke had his two-month check up on Tuesday. He weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces and is 23 inches long. He's thriving.




Sorry about the second one being a little blurry. I thought the smile was worth the blur.

still kicking

Luke likes the noises and lights on his chair, but he reaches a point where he's had enough and seems to yell at them to go away. Fortunately I can either turn them off or take the whole arch of toys off so that he can kick or sleep in peace.

tummy time

Tummy time with Luke has been easy because he's been able to raise his head about 70 degrees since the day he was born. When he left the womb and the doctor put him on me face down, he immediately raised his head, much to the surprise and praise of all in the room. He's got a strong neck and only complains, seemingly, when he gets bored with the view.
