Baby Luke

Luke will be 3 months old in a couple days. He is such a precious happy guy. We went to Dr. Jed yesterday for a persistant diaper rash and will get that under wraps with some perscription cream. He was weighed there and came in at 15lbs! He is one chubby baby:) He's been a big smiler since around 6 weeks and he just started to chuckle at 2.5 months when we tickle under his chin. He was sleeping about 8 hours a night at 2 months but currently does about 6 hours then two 3 hour blocks for a 12 hour night. He's a good little napper, too. He seems to be up for a couple hours then down for a couple hours for a nap. Just a joy to have in our home. I am tired with these two little ones but truly you just couldn't trade the joy for anything. Baylor has been in love with baby Luke from day one. He is very sweet with him...loves to give him kisses or sit on the couch and hold him, the best he can:) Luke coos and alot, just loves to have mommy and daddy talk with him and he'll coo right back with big eyes and lots of smiles. Just precious! He is a tummy sleeper. Around 3 weeks he was real uncomfortable and quite gaggy when he was sleeping on his back so we flipped him over and he sleeps so much better. We just take all the precautions so he sleeps safely- like firm mattress, no loose blankies and a cool room. He is currently working hard at rolling over - he's started to lift his chest off the floor and use his forearms to push up. Then he's been pushing his bum in the air. I bet he rolls over within the next month. We feel so blessed to have our 3 precious babies. I remember worrying how I would handle two at home before Luke was born, then once he was here all I wondered about was how we ever lived without him...like a puzzle piece was missing and now he filled that empty space and fit right in:) Luke's newborn pictures were taken when he was 2 weeks 3 days old and the picture of him smiling ear to ear with daddy was taken at 2.5 months.
