Its been a while since my last blog. The last few months simply flew past with so much happening. Luke has reached some rather important mile stones as he is sitting unaided, rolling over, eating solids (and love making a huge mess) and most importantly he continues to sleep through. He also crawls, but without the use of his arm, aka "the_slug"
The night nurse finished up after almost 5 months with us last week. I cannot emphasize what this meant to us to have her around through some of the more trying times. Almost like a 3rd Granny!
In between doctors visits for Conjunctivitis (which he successfully passed on to mom and dad) and a few other minor ailments he continues to be healthy and happy. I sometimes wish I had a camera around all the time, but promised myself that I am not going to be one of those whack-job parents who posts 50 pictures a week of my boy on Facebook, so most of the funnies will merely be remembered fondly in months and years to come.
I've had some successful stints at this parenting thing and one or 2 spectacular fails as well. With Rochelle going to gym one evening I ended up with demon-baby one evening It felt like eternity with a hysterical baby where nothing helped to soothe him. The last thing I remembered was starting the car and with baby in his seat in the back taking a long drive. He eventually calmed down to a mild panic and scream and after 30 minutes passed out from exhaustion. Only then I realized that my phone died and that I never let Rochelle know that I took Luke for a drive. I got home with a search party looking for me as I left the doors open and the dogs inside the house. I guess I just need a little more practice.
The next big mile stone will be the first tooth pushing through, which should be any day now. While it is amazing to see his little body change and develop, I must admit that I look less forward to some of the aches and pains that goes with the development... perhaps a little life lesson? To develop you need to experience growing pains?
