So a couple of weeks ago, we had Luke's 4 month check-up and did the whole routine weight, measuring of the length and head. Well he was completely off the charts and below 3% of the average weight, length and head. I was stunned and felt so bad. My little Luke weighed 10 lbs. 15 oz. at 4 months. I didn't understand it, so we checked him for reflux because I explained to my peditrician that he pooks up everything. And sure enough he had it, so he has been on two different medications. He is taken an acid reducer and a gastro reflex medication. We have never had a baby that did this, except now looking back I think Brayden had reflux when he was a baby.
So Luke has been on his medicine for 2 weeks now and is doing so much better. We have been supplementing with a fantastic formula from Sam's club (I love bulk), breastfeeding morning and night and we have started rice cereal. He loves that stuff and I swear I can't stop shoveling it in, sometimes I feel like I was starving the poor kid. This transition has definitely made my life and little Luke's life so much simpler. And like my mom always says, "Simplify your Life."
Luke's weight check-up was yesterday and in 12 days he now weighs 11 lbs. 12 oz. We couldn't be more happier for him and we are so glad that nothing else was wrong. We love our little biggs and our so grateful each and every day for our sweet little Luke.
Here are some recent pictures of Luke:

Since Luke has been born, Brayden has wanted Luke to have his very own lightsaber. Go figure since the name is "Luke." Little Luke Skywalker! So Brayden thought that it would be a good idea for Luke to hold his lightsaber, I couldn't stop laughing. So fun, gotta love big brothers!
Sharlee was trying to get dressed for the day and decided to attempt to dress herself. It was too funny to not pass up the opportunity of getting a picture of her, so cute my sweet girl. She loves getting dressed by herself and she even knows how to put her own shoes on now. She is such a girly girl and makes me laugh everyday.
We were enjoying a fun day at the park with the kids and decided to capture this shot of Luke, he loves being outside. Such a cutie!
We had an ice storm a while back and the kids played on it in our backyard. Brayden had so much fun that he decided to push Sharlee Kay around in a laundry basket down the hill of ice. They had a blast!
My sweet Brayden! Loves the outdoors!
