"You're My Better Half" *

We officially celebrated our 7th anniversary at the end of August by going to a Keith Urban concert in Nashville. We enjoyed some extra sleep, LOTS of good food, & time together!
Here's what Luke was doing while we were gone. It was our first time leaving him overnight...I don't think he minded :0)We brought a special friend home with us.... Mortimer the Moose is now Luke's traveling buddy!

*This is the title of one of Keith's songs.

Happy 6 Month Birthday

Luke turned 6 month's old on August 27th. During his 6 month of life he started having stinky burps (seriously!), moved backwards in a crawling stance, stopped his 10:00 feeding (Yay!!!), and started a 4 hour schedule (did you hear the cheers?- this was a HUGE YAY!!!!). Here are some other things which haven't already been blogged about: He started reading ~:0)

He started wearing pajamas to bed every night. We had thought that footed pajamas wouldn't fit in his shoes, but they work just fine as long as they aren't too bulky. This adorable outfit was given to Elijah by his Aunt Abigail. Love it Ab!

We had been putting a blanket over him, but he started rolling from his back to his stomach quite often (we removed the incline that he had been sleeping on due to reflux-go here to see how he used to sleep). One morning at 4:30 I heard him making some noise & when I went to check on him he raised his head to look at me. Once I rolled him onto his back, he went right back to sleep.

I took his 0-3 month clothes out of the closet. It was sad to see all those teeny-tiny clothes packed away, but PRAISE GOD he couldn't fit in them any more!!!

Daddy time is always fun! This is the first time he actually SAW Jasmine the horse. We'd taken him by a few times, but he never really looked at her. Jasmine enjoys the carrots that we bring her (and your shirt too, if your not careful). He enjoyed eating with MeMa :0)

Here's some other cute pictures from this month.
