Luke's 6 (well, almost 7) month checkup

Luke got his 6 month checkup... even though it is a bit late. The doc says hes super healthy, except his minor cold hes had for almost a month... but hes growing big! He weighed 16.9 lbs and way 27 inches. That puts his weight in the 25% and height in the 75%!!! I was so happy to hear he's out of the 10% range. His head is still in the 25%, but it were any bigger he'd look like an alien (no pun intended). Now all we need is for him to start sleeping through the night and eating his food a little better.

Belated Merry Christmas

So our internet has been down since Sunday and we finally have some service. Woohoo!!! We have a few updates we wanted to share. Luke is now getting on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth, so he will probably be crawling soon. He still isnt sitting up on his own. We borrowed a friends swing and he loves it! Thank goodness, too! He still isnt sleeping through the night, and he gets up every few hours to feed. Ugh! Anyone know when they are supposed to sleep through the night? Everyone has a cold here. I am on the verge of egtting one so I have been taking Airborne. We have some pictures to show of our Christmas. Kylee was so excited Christmas morning. There were so many gifts that she gotm she didnt know which one to play with first. She was so cute the night before making cookies for Santa. She asked to put carrots out for the reindeer, too. We thought that was so cute, but didnt know where she heard it. When we asked her, she said she made it up... hmmmm.....? Anyway, we wished we could have spend Christmas with all our friends and family, but maybe next year? Love you all!

bragging moment

So a few months ago Rhett took the supervisor test at his work. This test is taken when you would like to put in for a "supe" position, if its available. Well, when he took it, he told me that the first time you take it you really dont get that great of a score, but that you an take it later. After he took the test, he told me that he thought he did terrible because he didnt know most of the stuff they were aking. Well,we just got the scores back, and he got a 93%!!!! The other cool thing is that they tell you how much better you did than the other people who have taken the test, and he got a 92% on that! My husband is a freaking genius! I am so proud of him! This means that when there is a supervisor position open and he puts in for it, that he has a good chance of getting it! Way to go baby!!!

I swear we didnt purchase a cat....

Luke's new thing has been screaming really loud and in a high pitch... like a crying cat... but maybe higher. its gotten worse, like a siren even... or a fire alarm at your house (depending on which kind you have). I dont know what brought this on, but I am hoping that his normal cry comes back. 

Good-bye Shade!

Shade Clothing has made a decision to let go of their personal shopper program starting December 21st, which now means that I am out of a job =( This came to me as a huge surprise (and not the good kind either). I am very sad and have very much enjoyed my time working for Shade. I have made many friends and will always cherish that time. Its hard closing this chapter of my life, but I want those of you to know that I will always be here to answer questions or help with sizing issues or whatever you might need. But on the other hand, they are having a fantastic sale of 25% off and free shipping until the 18th which is tomorrow. =)

AHHHH!

So yesterday I discovered that Luke can now roll from his back to him tummy... Its taken him six months to do this, and now that he can do it, I'm going crazy! Not only does this mean he'll probably be crawling soon (he's still not sitting up on his own, either), but when I put him down for bed at night or for a nap, he rolls right over and babies are not supposed to sleep on their tummies (plus he gets mad and cries). I caught it on tape, so I will post that for you guys.
