NINE months!

How in the world is this precious baby boy of mine NINE months old already?!  He is just the best!



Weight:  18 lbs. 6 oz.  (27%)
Height:  29.25 in.  (85%)
Head:  18.25 in.  (86%)


Luke is a happy little guy, especially when he's with mommy.  Hah!  We are still in a bit of a separation anxiety phase, but I think it's getting better!  He is just so sweet.  I'm enjoying this phase as much as possible because this is probably the most he will ever love and need me. :)



This was a big month in Luke's physical development!  He just started crawling - like yesterday.  He has been army crawling for a while, and scooting around pretty good.  But I think he is officially crawling on hands and knees now.  He is also pulling up onto his knees, and going from a laying down position to a sitting position by himself!  We had to lower his crib a couple weeks ago.  His sleep has regressed a bit, I think because of all these new tricks he can do now. :)  He sleeps from about 7:30-6:30.  He'll wake up a few times in the night, but he usually goes back to sleep on his own, so it's not really an issue (other than the fact that I have a hard time going back to sleep when he wakes me up).  He takes two naps a day, usually around 9:15 and 1:45.  He is starting to prefer us putting him down in his crib awake, as opposed to us rocking him to sleep, which is kind of sad!


Luke is doing great with table foods.  He loves watermelon (this might be his favorite food right now), all pouches, sweet potatoes, avocado, bananas...but he has really eaten all of the fruits and vegetables I've given him!  He hates eggs.  Won't eat 'em.

He still loves Perry so much.  He loves bathtime.  He loves just crawling around and getting his hands on anything he shouldn't. ;)  He hates when I change his diaper or clothes.  He bursts into tears immediately, as if I've just done something terrible to him!

Luke has 6 teeth now, and his smile gets cuter every day!


Life just gets better and better with our Luke Robert in it!!

Easter recap

We had a wonderful Holy week!  


Perry had an Easter party at school and was so excited to show me her eggs and treats.  


We decorated Easter cookies!


We went to the Boudreaux's 8th annual crawfish boil on Good Friday!  Perry was totally preoccupied playing with Aria the entire time - they are little besties and play so well together.  Luke was a trooper and went along for the ride, as usual!  





It's always a good time hanging with this crew!


Happy Easter!  Perry was so excited to see her Easter basket in the morning.  Luke didn't know what was going on, but was excited to grab and chew on everything. ;)  We went to church, then went to Mumsie and Popsie's house for more Easter baskets, brunch, and swimming. 
















It was a happy Easter, indeed!  HE IS RISEN!

Swim lessons

Perry started swim lessons this month!  I was terrified she would scream and refuse to go inside, but she has LOVED it so far!!  So proud of my little swimmer :)





Patio

The most recent excitement at the Lodde household - we got our patio cover extended!  We wanted to create a more comfortable space to hang out in the backyard so that we would go out there more often.  We love it and have already used it SO much in the week and a half we've had it!  It was worth every penny!







We've been lucky with some beautiful weather to enjoy on the patio!

March update

We had a fun-filled March!  In no particular order...

We celebrated my Dad and Thomas's birthdays!




Perry had rodeo day at school!


Me and the kids went to the zoo with Britt and Rhett!





I painted Perry's nails for the first time!  She had been begging me to have her "pails naited".  She is so excited about her pink toes. :)


We had a couple of picnics at the park and spent lots of time outside because we have had some gorgeous weather!




Perry got to hang out with her bestie, Aria, a couple times.



I got to hang out with my childhood bestie, Megan!


We spent lots of time with Mumsie and Popsie while John was traveling for work, including a trip to get froyo!


Luke sat in the front of the shopping cart for the first time!


We watched our cuzzie, Reid, play baseball!


We had a couple photoshoots of the kid in coordinating outfits. :)



And everyday moments in between...











So grateful for this little family of mine. :)


We're ready for spring!
