Luke Does Things

Luke waved for the first time tonight.  He was waving to... the TV.  He's truly our child.  It looked more like a "hi" wave than a "bye" wave, side to side.  It was cute.  He did it on command a few more times when we would do it to him.  I think he was stalling going to bed and trying to get us distracted.  He's funny. 

Here he is playing and eating off the floor.

Here he is loving peek-a-boo.  He laughs so hard he gets hiccups.  It's funny.

Crawling Machine

Luke was 8 months old on Saturday April 17th, and this is his monthly picture. Such a cutie. These pictures are much better than the 1 or 2 months pictures. I'm starting to wonder if he was ever as beautiful as I thought when he was younger. I have that mother's blindness and think no other boy is as adorable but I've always said newborns aren't so cute... Nah, he was beautiful then too!

Luke started crawling this week. He looks like a toy GI Joe pulling himself along the floor, but he's moving forward so we're excited. We're also watching him more closely. No more being left alone on the bed- I sat right next to him as he tried crawling over the edge. I kept telling him to turn back but he's a boy so...

Will get video soon. Uploading all my video to YouTube since it won't all upload here. Search for MMLVargas as the username.

Where have we been?

I can not believe I haven't posted since December. I'm a busy lady. Luke had a 4 month check-up in December and was in the 40th percentile for weight. Then we had his first Christmas and a New Year's in Georgia (which he slept through). We bought a house in Red Oak south of Dallas and moved at the end of January. He had a 6 month check-up in February and was in the 10th percentile for weight. His baby dedication was March 21st at First Baptist Dallas and his Meme and Papa and Uncle Taylor and Aunt Tara came. It was their first time meeting him. And now we're trucking along.

A lot has gone on with him- he's sitting up alone, rolling over and scooting backwards or in circles. He's been in his own room now since February and he loves eating baby foods and tiny bits of safe "people" food.

I'm going to get more pictures up soon and keep updating. I always think "I need to go update," but I never do. So here I am. Here is a Christmas shot from visiting Mom and Dad.

Here is a picture from right after he rolled over for the first time. Naked and surprised.

And here is a recent one of my cutie pie baby boy.

And here is the house we bought. Two weeks after we moved it snowed over a foot. Unheard of around here.So that is all for now. We have a 9 month check-up in May and I'm trying to put some weight on that boy with some real food. He's a good height but he's a real light-weight compared to the "charts." But light is good for us. He's such a good baby... most of the time. No teeth yet but we're expecting them soon. I'll get more picture and hopefully video soon. Everything is going well in Vargas-land.
