Mr. Lukey Pukey has a bad cough. It woke me up a couple nights ago and scared me pretty bad when I thought it might be whooping cough. He is only 3 months old and so sweet, so him being sick just kills me. He has no other symptoms other that this bad chest cough. I started putting oils (breath, on gaurd, lemon, melelueca, and marjoram) on his chest and feet and I mixed up some red raspberry and fenugreek and thyme that I give him right before I feed him then let him wash it down with some Mommy milk. I also started running the humidifier in his room at night with oregano, purify, melalueca and lemon in it. At first his cough sounded worse, but I know my Mom always says that it usually cleanses out the bad and then gets better from there. So I set a goal that by Monday morning if he didn't sound better I would take him into the Dr. Saturday his cough sounded like it was in his chest but by yesterday (Sunday) it really sounded less in his chess but more in his throat like his throat hurt when he would cough. Today it sounds like it is just in his throat, and he is not coughing much. I can seriously say how much I love natural health aids.big-o euro tour- high end $682CostcoMichelin defender 154.99 90,000 672.87

Katie soft... Ya right

The other day Katie was playing wit a watch and she was trying to tie herself up with it. Then she turned to me and tried to tie my foot up.
She then stood up, went and grabbed a toy rifle, cocked it and pointed it at my foot. I said (in full on pretend mode) No don't shoot me!! She said "I not shoot you, I shoot that (the watch)" I of course pointed out that the watch was on my foot so shooting the watch would inevitably get my foot too. To which she replied while holding her rifle "I be soft, k" nothing like being "soft" while shooting a watch off someone's foot.

My 3 month old

Luke you are 3 months old as of yesterday. You make me smile and become giddy whenever you smile or laugh. I don't think Kevin or Katie ever laughed like you do. You have this laughing grunt instead of a laugh that sort of chuckles. Yesterday you really got going when Alyssa was holding you. You were tired and hungry but happy to have someone holding you. You are such a beautiful baby. You have the perfect shaped head and these big blue eyes. When you smile your furrowed brow disappears and those eyebrows go up and then more often than not you get sort of shy and either look away or put your hand to your face or eyes almost in embarrassment. You sleep so well, I couldn't ask for a better boy than you. We are so blesses to have you in our lives. I just can't get enough of you.

Almost 3 months old

Luke, you are so adorable and such a huge light in our day. The amount you have grown is just crazy. I don't feel like you should be 3 months old but yet here we are. You coo so much now and have really starred to show Kevin and Katie that you like them with bug smiles when they try to play with you.
The family went swimming today but you slept in your car seat until the very end. I stuck your feet in and you immediately started to cry. You did not like it.
You have been falling asleep on your back consistently for about a week and a half now and you are so peaceful about it. Last night you slept from 930 to 8. I am glad you are lengthening your nighttime sleep stretches. Hopefully I can get you to go to sleep at 7 or 8 since I will likely wake you up at 6 or 6:30 for feedings pretty consistently.
I live that you want to hold my hand when you eat, and I live that I get to look into your blue eyes too you love me and u live you. You know I will take care of you and I am a good Mommy. I can see it in your eyes that you're grateful. I could handle more babies like this, it's the toddler stage that's truly hard. I will try to enjoy every moment with you baby Luke.

Katie and her prayers

So a few nights ago I went in to put Katie to bed and she insisted (as always) that she wanted to say her prayers by herself. She had been a little sick and we almost always pray that Daddy will get better (he still has stomach issues) so in her prayers that night she said "bless Daddy get better, Katie get better, Katie sick, runny nose, need a Kleenex, get better, I'm sick..." and so on and so on. It was so cute. She also likes to sing to her babies. She sings you are my sunshine but says "make me SO happy skies gray". I live it.
She is obsessed with my lipstick and make up. She did this sweet little number yesterday as I was getting ready for church. She grabs her little rubber bands for her hair and tries to open them with her mouth like I do sometimes. She will just walk all around the house with a little pony in her mouth holding her hair with the other hand.
She lives her fingernails and toenails painted and pretty much gets a pediatric every time I do.
We have a Mom and tots class we are doing for swim and it has been super fun to get her all to myself as I help teach her to swim. She is not afraid of the water at all and will jump to me and pit her dace right in. She gets really cold by the end though and wants to "waap up" in her towel.
She LOVES gum and asks for it all the time. We mostly give in unless she has been bad.
She will rough house with Kevin and just laughs when he knocks her around. Good thing she's tough since she is sandwiched between two boys.
