*I started writing a post and obviously didn't get back to it, but decided I would post it now even though it's been 2 months haha.*
Well, Luke is almost 4 months old now and I can't believe it! Time has gone by so fast and I wish it would slow down. Luke is becoming mobile which is fun but sad at the same time. He's no longer the little snuggly baby that I got to cuddle with day after day. He's wanting to explore and has been rolling from his back to his stomach for about 2 weeks and has rolled from his stomach back onto his back maybe half a dozen times during the last week. He is also trying to scoot himself forward and I have mixed feelings about that too. I can't wait to see him crawling but I want him to stay little forever.We have loved getting to know this little guy and he definitely has his own personality. He's so sweet and funny and he knows it. He loves to give people big cheesy grins because he knows he'll get smiles back. He has a lot of people around his little finger.

Ok, now that it's been 2 months, here's the latest updates of the kiddo. Luke is almost 6 months. HALF a year old! How did this happen?! I really can't believe he's this old and that the time has flown by so quickly. I didn't really believe people when they told me to enjoy the first couple months because they grow up so fast.
Well, Luke has also been sleeping through the night for quite a while which is so wonderful. He still likes to cuddle me but he is also VERY active. He doesn't like taking his morning nap on Sundays now that we have church at 9:00 but that's ok because he is so happy and funny and loves looking around and smiling at everyone he sees. When it is time for him to take naps and sleep for the night, he lets me know he's ready by making a funny little squeaking noise, sucking his thumb and/or resting his head on the floor or my shoulder if I'm holding him. So, I just grab his favorite blanket which his great grandma turner made him and lay him down in his crib. He like cuddling when he's sleepy, but once he's asleep, he definitely prefers to sleep in his crib instead of in my arms which is nice, but sad since I love holding sleeping babies.He loves eating but you couldn't tell by looking at him. He loves eating applesauce with his rice cereal and loves eating mashed bananas. If we would let him, he would eat just about anything. He's tried grabbing and eating empanadas, carrots, rolls and many other things that I can't think of right now.
He has also started army crawling and is getting much faster and stronger. He is now getting into everything within reach and for some strange reason, loves finding the wipes container, taking off the lid, pulling all the wipes out and either sucking on the wipes (yuck!) or the container (also yuck!). He also has a feddish with feet. he would rather crawl to get someone's feet than a toy most of the time.
One of his favorite things is when Tim gets home from work. As soon as he hears the door open, he gets a huge smile and tries to find Tim. They are best buddies and if he could, Luke would follow Tim around everywhere so he loves when Tim puts on the carrier and packs Luke around the house with him.Anyway, I think that will be all for now.
