abigail & luther luther in his first 0-3 months outfit!! my sleeping boys!! Luther had his 2 month check-up and shots today. Poor thing, he got 3 shots in his legs. He has been screaming in pain off and on. James and I have been passing him back and forth and trying to keep Tylenol in him. I hope he feels better soon, because it break my heart to see him in pain like this. He weighed 11 lbs & 1 oz !! He had gained 1 lb & 7 oz in just 2 weeks!! I knew he had really been growing because he grew out of newborn diapers last week and I had to move him up to size 1’s. Also, he is finally fitting into some of his 0-3 months clothes. He was 22 ½ inches long, so he has also grown ½ inch in 2 weeks. Our pediatrician was proud to tell us that he is now in the 50th percentile. Because of all of his feeding problems, he was only in the 3rd percentile when we took him to see her the very first time. We are getting really excited about Christmas. We had our community gro...

aren't i cute!! Luther's tummy time My Bundle of Joy Luther and Bryce Luther is really getting expressive. Now he actually has several different smiles, along with all kinds of other cute faces. I have been taking Christmas pictures, but I will have to save those to post closer to Christmas. I have been doing lots of Christmas shopping this week, but most of it has been on-line. I have found that it is hard to get much done out of the house, before he needs to eat again. I usually end up feeding him in the car after a trip to the grocery store. I really worked on a schedule last week and made some progress. He is going down at night much better, but I am still having a hard time with naps during the day. He will only nap for 20-30 minutes at a time. As the day go on, he get more and more cranky because he is so tired. Any suggestions?? He is so sweet in the mornings when he is well rested. We sing, read books and play. I know if he could just take good long naps...

Luther smiling at his Daddy, while Daddy tickles his toes This week is baby boot camp, as I attempt to get Luther on a schedule. He always eats every 2 ½ to 3 hours, but he nap, wakes and a goes to bed at different times ever day. I am hoping that a more definite schedule will help with bedtime, since we have had so much trouble with that. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures displaying the many faces that Luther makes. Of course, our favorite by far is his smile. He just started smiling last week and he still only does it once or twice a day, so I was very lucky to catch it. I actually screamed really loud when I snapped the shot, because I could not believe that I got it. I scared poor Luther to death. James and I decorated for Christmas over the weekend. James did most of the work, but I finally got to join in. Luther likes to look at the lights. I have been sitting his bouncy seat in front of them. Since he will be too little to open presents, James and I decided to sign him up fo...
