Allergies

A week ago or so Luke had a fever. It didn't last very long, but shortly after it left we started seeing a big red rash all over his skin.



We decided to call the doctor and Nai took him to get looked at. The doctor assured us he was fine and just had an allergic reaction to something. The problem is, we're not sure what it could possibly be, because he was eating the same foods we had been giving him for quite a while. It might have possibly been from some orange juice we let him sip one day, so we're avoiding giving him any more citrus stuff.

Anyway, after giving him a little bit of medicine the rash seems to have gone away. Luckily for him he didn't seem to be bothered by it.

Here's a picture of Luke after he's had a big meal.



He's normally very active, but after a full meal he takes it easy for a few minutes before moving around again. Look at that big belly! What a couch potato!

The Playpen is "Deeper" Now

Luke has now grown to the point where we had to bring the floor of the playpen down to keep him from climbing out. Beforehand, the playpen's floor was "raised" to halfway up the playpen, but now Luke can pull himself up onto his knees and peek out over the edge. Once we saw him doing it last night, that's when I decided the playpen mattress needed to be dropped down to the bottom. We will probably need to do the same soon for his crib, as soon as he learns how to stand up in there.

In related news, if you stand him up and lean him against something (say, the crib's railing), he will hold onto it and keep himself upright. His legs are shaky the entire time, but he can hold himself up!

In feeding news, he's now graduated to the "3rd stage" baby foods. He likes almost all of his foods. Notice how I said "almost" all of his foods. He absolutely HATES green beans.

Luke learned how to do this earlier in the week (pic taken this morning):



So now he sticks out his tongue frequently. If you start doing the same, he thinks it's funny.

Luke & Jeremy

In case anyone missed it when we were at Tim's wedding, here is Luke playing with his cousin Jeremy. Luke loved it!

Luke likes fart sounds.
