Today my Lucas turns four months old. At 5:48 pm exactly. Today is going to be a big day today for him. He's going to try rice cereal for the first time (even though the doc has recommended it for a while now, b/c of his size). He's also going to the nursery to sleep in his crib tonight. I'm really kind of sad on both accounts. But at least its a month earlier for Lucas on the nursery end. We didn't move Seth over till he was 5 months old.... I was afraid he'd learn to sit up over night and topple out of the cradle, LOL!
Lucas had his 4 month check up yesterday. He is weighing in at 16 lbs and 3 oz, and is 25 1/2 inches long. He has slipped to 60th % height and 80th % weight, LOL! As far as his eczema, it is looking better. When he does have break outs, its not as bad and its few and far in between. Our doc also told us, b/c of Lucas' size, when we start baby foods, we can go ahead and skip the Stage Ones and go right ahead to the Stage Twos. I do think we'll wait till Lucas is 5 months with that (We waited till 6 with Seth). And I do think we'll start with the Ones anyways, b/c if Lucas already has allergic reactions (his eczema) I'd rather catch allergic reactions with foods one at a time. (For you who don't know....Ones are one food at a time in a smaller dose, Twos mix foods at bigger doses.)
We also finally got the go ahead and the referral to see the Pediatric Urologist. We have our consult on Aug 2nd, and we have to drive over an hour to Pittsburgh for the specialist there. For the reason why, Read This Entry. I had asked the receptionist if she had a guess time about surgery if we needed it, and she said that we would have to wait till Lucas is at least 6 months old for the anesthesia to Go Under (Sept 12), OR there is this in-house procedure that the doc can do, and we can just leave. Lets pray that that is our option!
As for Seth.... spending a week at Nana's has really spoiled him I think, LOL! He is acting out quite a bit, and we have quite a few talks about "Listening & Obeying" around here. Has anyone here read the book "Bringing Up Boys" by James Dobson? I've heard its really great and wanted to check it out. Seth is still so sweet to Lucas, I can't wait to see them interact and play together! We are going to be taking him to see Ratatouille sometime very soon.
A BIG THANK YOU to Heather for noticing that I have passed the 100 mile mark on my running mileage. I really appreciate it! I plan on celebrating that with ya'll.... ;) so come back in the next day or 2 to see your giftie.... ;)

Wow your boy is getting big fast! Jake is 6.5 mths old and he is 22 lbs. The funny thing is his 3 yr old sister is only 28! Best wishes for his surgery and I hope you get the office procedure!
Thanks for the sweet blog comment!! I am a huge fan of your designs!! Your little one is adorable! I know all about the baby eczema {my son just turned 2, and still has it - BAD!} I would definitely try the Stage One foods first - just in case. Have a great day {and Happy 4 Months to you!}
4 months! Times flies! Congrats to his little guy :)
My dd has eczema but it has become less frequent and less severe as she has gotten older. She's 6 now! Sorry to hear that Lucas needs surgery but he'll do fine!
Good luck with your baby's surgery!!!(((hugs))).

Hi, Andrea. I wanted to give my "two cents" about Dr. Dobson's book "Bringing Up Boys." You absolutely MUST get it! It is wonderful and has really affected how I view the raising of my two-year-old son. I actually purchased the book on CD, and that made things a bit easier for me. I can listen to it when I'm cleaning the house. It's five CDs total, I think. I highly recommend it!
Your pictures from your recent trip were great! I can tell that you and your husband are great youth leaders!
My SIL has read it (her 2 kiddos are both boys, too!) and she thought it was great.
Good job on your mileage!!!!! Whew-hoo!!!!
It is Heather from BBC. Just wanted to say that I am reading Dobson's Bringing Up Boys right now and it is great! Much of what is in there is about "older boys" (DS is a Sept baby like Seth), but it has great insights and perspective on boys in general and I highly recommend it! Especially now that you have 2 handsome little ones! :)

Here's another recommendation for Bringing Up Boys. I think if you have boys you have to read this. It should be required reading or something. :) I have two boys, expecting #3 in November, and it has helped a lot. Not just with my boys but actually understanding my husband a little better too.
Congrats on the 100 miles!
LMAO! I just caught up on reading and noticed that you commented on my 100 marker! LOL! You are my running idol. I think I am going to try to match you within three months! TRY is the key word. haha!
