1/1/11 and our baby is #1

He's #1 in our book at least.  Not sure what he's #1 of....maybe of all babies in the universe?  That sounds about right.

This week was fun!  Luke is becoming so much more vocal.  Check out this sample:

On Friday night I had the good fortune to host 4 of my Purdue swimming friends for dinner.  Patricia was in town from New York, fresh off landing her NEW job as a nurse, and so it was a perfect reason to get together with our other IL area buddies Missy, Ashley and Leah.  The night included wine, cheese, dinner and lots of laughs.

Saturday the whole family took a road trip to Indy to visit Katie and Joe.  It was Luke's first long car trip (3 & 1/2 hours) and he did great, despite only sleeping for about 45 minutes of it.  Katie & Joe hosted a wonderful dinner party for us to give Luke the opportunity to meet our friends from Purdue Ken & Michelle and Brian & Erica.  Sunday we headed home and Luke actually slept for almost the entire trip.  Good man!

I almost forgot!  Luke had his 4 month doctor appointment yesterday.  The doctor says he is doing great.  It turns out that he is not as giant of a baby as I had thought.  I still say he's big, wearing 6-9 month sleepers already!  Here are the stats:

Length: 25 1/2 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 15 lbs 6.5 ounces (50-75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 43 1/4 cms (75th percentile)

Now if we could just get him to sleep through the night.  Total regression when it comes to sleeping.  Last night he woke up every 1 & 1/2 like clockwork, he didn't even do that when he was a newborn!  Teething?  Congestion?  Hunger pangs?  Or just liking Mom and Dad coming to visit several times a night?  Only he knows.  Time to start reading all those books Kristin gave me on sleeping techniques I guess.
