Under the Weather

The poor little guy has a cold. His first and apparently it's going around. At least that's what his pediatrician said and the daycare he attends. It was so sad to see him uncomfortable this weekend. He woke up in the middle of the night just wanting to be held until he fell asleep again...it's not easy seeing your baby like this. He still manages to smile through it all. What a wonderful little guy! I'm so proud to be his mama.

He's sick but always has some energy reserved for play

A Week of Firsts!

Just returned home from the Pediatrician and the little guy has a virus (insert sad face here)...you wouldn't know it because this little guy is still smiling like the ray of light he is...

This week Luke started daycare and boy did he surprise me. I expected a little tears, but nooo, not for Luke! He was ready to play and learn. The moment we arrived at the Infant 1 area he just knew this was where he was supposed to be and Luke put his arms out to the caretaker because he was ready to part with me!  I was very much amused by his actions because I was a very shy as a child and so was his father.

When I returned to pick him up hours later, I saw a few babies on the floor playing and figured he was among them..no, wrong again!  He was sitting in a big boy seat working on a craft with one of the sitters. It was adorable!  Being that i'm working on a degree in nutrition, the little guy's project was about healthy foods. They glued pictures of healthy foods onto a plate.

Last weekend, we tried starting him on solids (rice cereal) that definitely didn't go over well. He had a major fit!  This morning I tried again and he ate it like a champ. By noon, he was a pro and couldn't get enough!

My little five month old isn't so little anymore. He's taking steps towards being a big boy everyday and it's going by quick. I don't want to miss a thing!
