Fantasy Addict and Luke turns Four Months
On Sunday, Luke was officially four months old. No celebrations yet, and actually, it looks like we will all be in Las Vegas on his one-year birthday. (Rich bought tickets to the U.S. Olympic wrestling team trials.) So today, we had his fourth-month check-up with Dr. Reddy. She's our pediatrician, and we really like her. She's Indian in ethnicity, but she seems to be a native American. *chuckle to self* She speaks quietly and doesn't come across as arrogant or busy like most doctors I've encountered. She also loves Luke. Which we love.
So here are Luke's "new specs," as his dad says:
Temperature: 97.6 F
Height: 26.5" (93%)
Weight: 15 lbs, 11.2 oz (66%)
Head circumference: 16.5" (50%)
So he's a long and skinny baby. This is primarily how I shop for him. I assess whether outfits are long and thin. Sometimes they make them for more squarish babies, I guess. And he's a rectangle. (Although, you know, a square is technically also a rectangle.)
I'm also dealing with this:
A husband obsessed with Fantasy Football. Notice the bags under his eyes in the second pic. Okay, he's probably not more obsessed than many, many other men across America right now. He's playing in two leagues, and each Sunday and Monday, he's constantly checking the TV and computer. And during the week, he's talking about his teams and explaining his thoughts about which players to drop and which to pick up. And that reminds me about Bill Hybels and produce, but I'll tell that story another time.
I'll close with a video of Luke and his plastic chains.

yay for the videos, Em!! He is really into those chains, I wonder if he's gonna get teeth early too.
The other day I was visiting with some new friends here and I found myself missing Lukie very much. So please nuzzle him good for me. :)
I need to write you an email soon too. I keep thinking about you. In the meantime, I leave you lovin' here.
Those pics of me are scary! "Hi, my name is Rich, and I've been an addict for 13 years..." But hey, that Luke sure is cute!
Is it only me or is the bird mysteriously "missing" from the chain-food-o-fest.
HAHA. I love that you have this blg. it is so great and funny too!
Hey Emily Dawn and Rich.........I love the blog. Makes me feel more a part of Luke's life and I like that. He is just precious...so are you two.
Be thinking of a visit to wonderful Colorado. We would love that.

Hey Em and Rich
Don't forget the sleep scriptures
Luke will lie down and not be afraid for Jesus alone is his safety, Luke will lie down and sleep and his sleep will be sweet!!!!
Tell Luke MaMa C says He is a Mighty man of God,and the Lords favor and blessings are chasing down and overtaking him.
This is a great way to watch Luke grow thanks....
Great work.
