Keepin' up with the Ketters: 2013

I write the same thing every time I blog. "I can't believe so much time has passed! Where has the time gone?" But it's true. This is the way I feel every time I sit down and reflect on life with Luke. And now I sit here to write his six month post. Crazy!

Six months, wow! Luke, I feel like you have changed so much in the past month. Here's a peek into life during your sixth month:

You found your feet!
You rolled from back to front.
You laughed.
You started playing in your Jumperoo.
You went to see the cardiologist. (More on that later.)
You weigh 16 pounds and 4 ounces.
You are 26 1/4 inches.
You smile like crazy and make mom and dad so happy!
You have been a challenging sleeper this month. Your dad and I are working hard to help you through this phase!

Last time I blogged little man was 3 months?!? Somebody please hit the pause button! Luke is 5 months now and I just had a "time is going by too fast" moment and decided to come in and blog. I get teary in those moments because though these 5 months have not been easy by any stretch of the imagination, they have been the most rewarding 5 months of my life. I just want to be sure I'm appreciating them enough. I just want to be sure I'm documenting them well. I just don't want the next 5 months to go by as quickly as the first 5. This time with my baby is so precious and I so wish I could hit pause and just savor it.

Here's what little man has been up to in the last couple of months:

You still ~~like~~ love to eat- about every 2-2.5 hours.

You are a growing boy! 13 pounds 9 oz at your 4 month checkup.

You are very vocal. You love talking and have added several sounds to your repertoire - "g" "m" "d'

You now wake up several times each night and are up and at 'em around 6 am. (Mommy's hoping this is a quick phase!)

You are a very smiley guy, but when you're upset you quickly let us know with the cutest bottom lip pout I've ever seen.

You really like your taggie blanket that Danee' made you.

You have rolled from front to back twice, and back to front once (with the help of the ottoman)

You love to be in the moby wrap and don't really enjoy your carseat.

You love to play with daddy on the weekends.

You play in your exersaucer and like to sit in your bumbo seat.

You chew on your tongue and love to stick your hands in your mouth too.
