Red-Faced

Nai went to get Luke one morning, only to discover that his face looked like this:



Apparently he had been sleeping on his belly and his face rubbed against the crib. Thankfully the redness went away during the day, but it freaked out Nai a little bit. :)

Bottled Up

This is probably the best job Luke has done so far holding his bottle, and we managed to catch it on video! He's getting better and better at it...

Video taken a few weeks ago:

Happy Winds-day

Sorry for the dark video, but here's something that Luke enjoys. When you take a rag and blow the wind in his face, he gets excited!

Updates

No pics or videos today, but I thought I'd give an update on some of the things I've already mentioned and how much Luke has grown since then.

Feeding - Luke understands how to eat now, but most of the time he hates it. He'd rather just feed on the bottle then have to work at eating rice cereal.

Sitting - Luke is much better at sitting and can even keep himself propped up some of the time. He can't get into a sitting position on his own yet, and he can't get out of it either for that matter.

Rolling - Luke is really good at rolling over, but he still only rolls one direction. He likes being on his belly so he rarely rolls onto his back.

Grabbing - Luke is getting the hang of grabbing things. He likes to grab his blanket and put it in his mouth. He grabs his pacifier but he doesn't know how to put it in his mouth yet, so he'll usually just drop it after he holds it for a while. He hasn't tried to pick up anything really small yet and he doesn't like holding things for too long.

Demeanor - Overall Luke is a very happy baby. He likes to play by himself a lot but there are times where he wants us to pay attention to him and play with him. He likes being tickled and he likes it when you shake his hands/arms.

He HATES being tossed into the air. Get used to it, kid! You're gonna be going on roller coasters when you grow up! :P

I Don't Want Any of Your Lip Now

Luke still sucks his hands, but now he's found something else within reach to suck on...



Personally, I think he's just being lazy. :p

The picture was taken on Monday. You might notice in the pic that the sides of his face are a little red. He woke up with that and we think it might have been a couple of bug bites. That, or he rubbed his face into the crib during the night. In any case, it went away later on in the day, so he's okay now. It didn't really bother him.

Keep Moving Forward

For quite a while now we've been putting Luke to bed, only for me to get up in the morning and see him in a completely different position/orientation. This means that he's been moving, but we weren't exactly sure HOW he was able to do it. Whenever he's awake and we put him on his belly, he seems pretty content to just lay there, or he'll try to move but he never gets anywhere.

Yesterday was the first day we actually saw him moving.



As you can see in the video, Luke has a couple of his toys in front of him that he can't reach. For a while, nothing happens (use the Force, Luke!). It's not until around the three-minute mark that he makes a LITTLE bit of progress. Then further along (at the 5-minute mark) he starts trying again. He basically puts his head down and starts pushing for dear life. It's pretty funny to watch, and me and Nai crack up.

Our little boy can get around now!

Everybody's Got a Laughing Face

Sorry the video is so dark, but the image isn't the important thing here, the sound is... :)
