Magic Diaper

This is an odd thing to post, but I'm just so amazed by it. I made this diaper a few weeks ago and it turned out ok. Nothing wonderful, but it works and I like the fabric. So, we put it on Luke for the first time and he poops. Ok, next diaper, right? Well, after washing it we put it back on him one day and he poops again. Hmmm.... coincidence? I'm not sure. So, I again wash it and we put it back on him another day and voila, he poops again. Every time, save one, that he's worn this diaper he has pooped in it. I think it's truly magic. Amazing, huh? Maybe a little gross too! I'm never going to put this diaper on him when we leave the house. I just can't trust it to not use it's magic while we're out! HeHe!

Cheese!

Thanksgiving was a little different this year. We ended up staying home and invited some of JD's family over. We kind of put it all together at the last minute, but it turned out great thanks to my chef husband. I spent the day holding Luke because he had a high fever and was miserable. I'm sad to say that I have no pictures of his first Thanksgiving. He didn't get dressed up, and he wasn't in the best mood. He did however have his first taste of Turkey and mashed potato's, which he loved. I thought I would post a picture I had taken of him a few days before. He's much happier here anyway!

Look what I can do!

The other day I went in to get Luke from his nap and this is what I found. He had pulled himself all the way up to standing!! He was so proud of himself! He didn't know how to get done from standing, but he was grinning from ear to ear when he saw me. I guess he figured that if he yelled loud and long enough I would come and rescue him. He was right, of course. Now he pulls himself up all the time on anything that he can reach. We're trying to teach him how to get down, but so far he doesn't get it. Hopefully for his head's sake he'll understand soon!!

I thought I'd post a picture of JD and I. We haven't taken a picture of just the two of us in a long time. We were at his brother's wedding in a gorgeous church. It was beautiful.

I also wanted to update everyone on a prayer request. We took Luke to the doctor's on Friday and discovered that he hasn't gained any weight since August. He's doing fine developmentally, but he's below the charts on weight. The doctor is a bit concerned, but we're not doing anything drastic yet. He'll go back in 6 weeks to check again and we'll go from there. Please prayer for our little peanut that he will start to gain. He's very active now so it's not a huge surprise to us, but we still want him to be healthy. Thanks!!

What a big boy!

Just thought I would share with all of you that Luke pulled himself up to standing today! We were so proud! You should have heard all of the clapping and chearing for him. He just looked around and smiled at us. I don't think he knew what to make of it, but he was excited to be standing. Better watch out now, Rome! He's coming to get you!
Here's a pic of Luke yesterday in our new favorite shirt. He was even eating it for a while. Gotta love him!
