My baby turned 5 months old this week

I've been working on this but haven't been able to find enough time to sit down and put it all together. Luke turned 5 months old on Monday (8-11-08). In the week plus one day that we had been home from vacation before he turned 5 months he had several "firsts".

• He can roll over both ways!

On this day he was sooo mad because he wanted to get up but he had still had to roll!

• He got a tooth! He's already bit me several times. I hope that I can stop him from doing this or his nursing days are numbered.



• He started eating cereal and a little banana.



• He can sit up! (I just realized this the day he turned 5 months).

We went to the doctor on Wednesday for his checkup. The doctor didn't seem as alarmed by his size as I thought he would be - but he's a really laid back guy. He was pleased that Luke was doing well and gave him a big stamp of "healthy".

Here are his stats:

28 inches long - 96th percentile

• 21 pounds 9 ounces! Greater than 97th percentile



• wearing size 4 or 5 diapers! Just for a point of reference: he was wearing size 2 when we left Texas. By the end of July he was in 4's.



• wearing size 12 months but quickly inching out of those. I am pulling out clothes that Jaden wore only last summer for Luke already!


• Still super cute!!!

Jaden and Anna also got to see the doctor for their 2 year and 5 year well-child check-ups. They both got good reports as well. Little Jaden had to get a shot along with Lukey (who got 3!). I wish that I had taken a pictures of him showing us his "ouchie". He showed anyone who would look his little Wylie E. Coyote band-aid and told them "ouch" - all day!

Jaden was 36 inches tall and 32 pounds.

Anna was 48 inches tall and 54 pounds.
