Don't count the hours in the day. Make the hours in the day count.

"All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles - someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next gneration their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams." - General Colin L. Powell

Luke's 1 year check up

Luke went in yesterday for his 1 year wellness check.  I still can't believe it's been a year and neither can his doctor.  He checked out perfectly healthy.  His weight is a little low, but we figured that's because he does nothing but go, go, go all day long.  I'm so excited to officially move him from formula to whole milk and to be able to put him in a forward-facing car seat...as soon as we get one.  :o)

The only part of yesterday that I didn't like was that I had to take him by myself so that Clayton could take Andrew to preschool and meet the delivery guys who were bringing the boys' new beds.  So I had the enviable job of holding down Luke while he got a shot in the back of each arm, one shot in one leg and two shots in the other.  It is heartbreaking to know that you are causing your child pain, even for something that could keep him from getting sick later on!


I know you are all dying to know how Luke measured!  So, without further ado:  Height:  31 1/4 inches, Weight:  22lbs, 1 oz., Head 18 1/2 inches in circumference.  He's in the 90th percentile for his height, and the 50th or so for weight and head measurements.  He's my tall, skinny kid!  And he's just cute as can be...except the temper tantrums he's throwing, thanks to big brother showing him how it's done!

Love you kiddo!  Here's to another year of health and happiness!
