January 2005 Update

Okay, so here's the run-down on January.

Luke is sitting up and has just been getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth. He's even able to scoot backward sometimes!! So cute.

He had his 6 month check up and everything looks great, as I knew it would! He's in the 70th % for weight, 80th% for head circ. and 90th% for length! Luke weighs 18 lbs and is 28 inches long. Time for a new car seat.

Unfortunately, the reflux is not any better. It's actually worse. I've been told by other reflux mammas that it gets worse when they are teething because of the excess saliva. I hope that's all it is.

Luke is still intolerant to dairy as far as I know. I guess I should really give it a go and drink a big glass of milk or eat a bowl of ice cream (yum!!) but I just don't have the heart to do that to him!

The dr. gave us the go ahead for starting solids, but I just haven't yet. Not really in a big hurry. I know breastmilk is still best for him so I'm not interested in stuffing him with second-rate food yet.

We probably will give him some when we go out to eat with him because he REALLY wants to participate. But, as you can imagine, that scenario doesn't come up much! :)

We had our first accident a couple of weeks ago. Luke fell of of our bed. Oops. Poor babe. He actually slid off the bed so he didn't land hard, but my heart was in my throat nontheless!!

I'm sure I'll think of more and as I do I'll be sure to post!
