One month + 2 years

It's somewhat amazing that I'm posting about two children and not just one :) I've decided to be done with Luke's monthly posts since he's now two. It just seems like a natural place to stop. But I will contine with Garrett's monthly posts. Pit one down, start another. It's kind of the theme of my life now!

One month for Garrett:
- 20 3/4 inches long, 9 lbs 6 oz
- we've had an interesting few weeks with Garrett. Right about 3 weeks he became very fussy- just screaming at points in the day and just all around very discontent. I can't say that he was a very happy baby. It was sad because we tried everything to make him happier. Just this week, I eliminated dairy from my diet. So far, this has made the most difference in his disposition. He's calmer and hasn't just all out screamed today. I'm really hoping this helps him and I can report a haph baby soon!
- because of our screaming issues, I feel like I'm still getting to know him.
- he does smile, though I haven't caught one on camera yet.
- he looks and studies people when they hold him and talk to him.
- he's very strong. He tries to hold his head up at times and can throw it back pretty well!
- he's starting to get cute little baby rolls on his legs and arms.
- this kid is a pretty good eater and he sleeps well at night. He goes a good 5 hour stretch. He'll usually take at least one good, long nap during the day.
- we love him and are glad he's apart of our family. I'm excited to see what the future holds!

Luke- 24 months!!
- he's 32.25" and 25 lbs. he's pretty small for his age but he's got big personality!
Even harder to believe is that Luke is 2!
We had a very small party for him but he had a great time!
- he talks so much! He is definitely high on the language charts. He says full sentences now- three to four words. Luke get up on couch. Lukie driving car. Things like that, and he does call himself Lukie :)
-he can count to ten! And loves to 'count' things.
- he went through some separation anxiety after Garrett was born and would cry, mama hold you, and it was very sad but now things are much better in that arena
-he's beginning imaginative play. Yesterday he cooked me some beans in a watering pot. It was very cute.
-his favorite cartoon is peppa pig- a British pig.
- Luke still loves blackberries, tractors, trucks, dinosaurs, cooking, books, puzzles, cars, his bus and Sheila-Pedro-max, and his family :)
