Poor Little Guy

Luke has been sick all weekend, fever, cough, stuffy nose, congestion. 
Turns out he has a double ear infection : (

He slept through his entire exam.

A Night Out and a Cold

Great indie movie!

The little guy had the beginning signs of being sick on friday. We left him with friends while we went on a "date night." When we got back from the movies, he was asleep. I heard him cough pretty deeply and said uh-oh!  Our friends assured us he would be ok and forced us out the door so we could have a nice dinner and we did. 
Once we got him home he had a temperature, so we gave him infants' Ibuprofen and it seemed to work...for awhile. I did have to get up twice that night because his little nostrils were clogged and needed the aspirator and some fluids.  Poor little guy!
We paged his Doctor and they said we were doing everything right and to keep monitoring him.

Thank God for this Thermometer!  So easy and accurate.

In Love with this mini footed cake plate only $18

We had a few errands to run at Bed Bath and Beyond. He was so good for the majority of the trip, then he had enough and let loose Screaming!  We were almost to the register by then, but that certainly sped things up for sure. 

I fell in LOVE with these dishes. There's a cute mini cake stand in that cute green box. I want it...bad!

Portmeirion® Botanic Garden

We had Japanese for lunch and he sat nicely having a bottle...he slept half time like he usually does. We're so blessed that we can pretty much take him anywhere with us.

Gyoza, clear soup, and a green salad to start. I love Japanese food!

My Parents visited this weekend and Luke soaked up every minute of attention from Grandma and Grandpa. Since he was sick, she gave him extra attention and he didn't want them to leave so we had to walk them all the way to the elevator when it was time for them to leave.

The little guy has finally had a little tooth break through. I actually had a dream last week that he was smiling at me showing off two little pearls of teeth. So cute! My niece is going through the same thing. I tell you, they are like twins!

My niece is also going for pics at Kiddie Kandids this week. They have a special fairy event going on. One day only. They have the wings and costumes included in the photo shoot. Can't wait to see how they come out.

Savoring Every Precious Moment

I had to take this picture so I would always remember just how small your little hands once were in mine.

My precious little boy. How you make my world so bright with just one smile : )

You went for a ride on a swing at the park for the first time last month and boy did you love it!  
Momma is loving all these first moments together : )

You also made mommy tear up and almost cry when you got your first battle wound from playing a little too rough with your toys. So glad the lump didn't last, you were taking pictures like a pro within two hours.

My little wounded boy : (

In just a few more weeks you'll be 8 months...these months have flown by so quickly. I just wish we could slow down for a moment, but time has other plans. It seems each day you grow bigger and bigger.

Momma's little bookworm!

I hope you know that you'll always be my little baby boy no matter how BIG you grow.

                                                                Love, Mommy
