HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!

So my sons birthday is July 3rd, but we had his birthday party on June 28th to make sure everyone would be able to make the party, it was cute, we had it at a park in a building, an elmo theme, besides it being hot and me seriously exhausted it worked out really well :) My son didn't dig in the cake like i thought he was going to, he decided to just poke at it :)

i thought my sons first birthday was fantastic, the cake took me four hours to make, it was fun to do, the whole elmo theme. he wasn't used to having like 30/40 poeple around so he wasn't smiling very much :( although he was amazed by so many people i think.

this is Luke, and my mom.

Before pregnancy: Me and my husband have been together for about four years. We met while we both worked at the same place, we are both scorpios, we are complete opposites, but balance well to give a baby a very happy and educational home, We both have alot to give. My husband is very handy can fix cars sinks doors, no matter what it is he is my handy man! :) i am very creative i write, paint, and i'm out going.My husband is very smart, he's the smartest person i've ever met so i'm sure my husband can offer our children a little of his brain to :) I sometimes get annoyed because my husband is always correcting my little inperfections and that drives me crazy.

4 weeks he’s eating 2 oz every 2 hours daily and nightly. He smiles in his sleep; he sleeps 2 hours at a time, wakes up every 2 hours for feedings.

6 weeks smiles at me, he sleeps 3 hours at a time, he was up for feedings every 3 hours at night and every two hours in the day...

8 weeks smiles, he can be tickled and laughs, he can hold his head up on his own steady sleeps every 4 hours needs feedings, every 2 hours in the day. He smiles at toys and just started noticing his hands, he loves to hear my voice and looks at me when I say his name or the word “smile”.

12 weeks, He can laugh, be tickled he eats 3 ounces, he rolls over from back to stomach, from stomach to back, he loves to look at everything.. and looks at his daddy- everytime he moves.

16 weeks, He does all the above, plus he rolls over both directions he can sit up on his own, and he attempts to crawl, he does circles on his belly and back, while hes on the floor. He eats 4-5 oz every 2 hours, He eats strage 1 foods and cereal which i started him on, november 5th. He laughs all the time smiles all the time, he takes two naps a day for two hours each, he sleeps through the whole night. "although once in awhile he wakes up"

20 weeks, All the above plus, he developed more personality, he makes alot more sounds.. he can say mama, and dada, and he can sing, and dance. he Says "I love you" all the time.. clear as day.... so far anyone thats heard him say it automatically knew what he was saying.. so thats awsome. He eats very well with a spoon he makes it very easy!!! i couldn't believe how easy it was...

He has a hard time sitting steal and doesn't like to stay in the same place more then 20/30 minutes, he wants to sit up, wants to be moving... and i really believe he wants to crawl and he gets very upset when he doesn't get very far....so hopefully he will be crawling soon...

5 months, my son sits up on his own, and gets in to a crawling position and wabbles back and forth, he smiles and laughs all the time and appears to be more content, loves just playing with toys and really starts bouncing and jumping in his bouncy chair wheni say "bouncy bouncy bouncy" :)

He can hold on to the couch and stand up, he loves being walked around the living room.. when i hold his hands... and his little feet are walking with mine :) he loves peek a boo, no matter how upset he is, that always makes him smile. He says Mama, daddy, and he waves bye bye. He still eats 4/5 oz every 2/3 hours...

9 months: my son crawls sits stands, travels furniture, laughs and plays by him self, if i tell him no "not to do something" he shakes his head no, and then stops. He drinks 4/5 oz every 2/3 hours, he walks with his push toys, He loves playing with other children, he eats regular table food all organic foods, He is all smiles and laughs, he gives kisses, he says byebye- daddy-mommy-and (yeah) which his 1 yr old cousin tought him :) Hes a wonderful baby...
