Bedtime Stories

Well, all is going well with our growing boy! Luke had his four month check up on Friday. He weighs in at 14.6 pounds (in the 25th percentile), and he is about 26" long. Dr. Lowry told us to "keep shoving in the cereal" to get him to fatten up a bit. Then, we had our first ever baby sitter!! A former student, Abby, came over (after we got Luke to sleep, of course) and sat with him for a few hours so we could go enjoy some adult time w/friends!!!
Our new bed time routine is we eat some cereal, then we go up to Luke's room, lay on our favorite blanket that Auntie Marissa made, and read books!!! His favorite seems to be Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See? as he always gets excited when we turn the page to the purple cat. He also likes The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and the Twinkle, Twinkle, Panda Bear hand puppet book that Grandma Kathy got him for Christmas. He's so alert!!! We can't wait for warmer weather, but we are quite busy staying in with good books and cozy fires.

Angie and Kyle,
Yes, yes, yes! It's time to start reading to him. Babies love to hear our language, and as you are reading, he is also learning book langugage, which is much different than everyday spoken language. He is hearing a certain rhythm or cadence, and he is hearing rhymes and lots of other patterns in our speech. Oh, I hope he loves books as much as we do!
I can't wait to see my little darling, in February!
Love Grandma Kathy
