month 7

Dear Lukie,

You are such a sweet little boy with bright blue eyes and a tooth barely popping out as of 11/11/08. You are more aware of your surroundings, constantly move your chubby little hands, and seemingly never want to nap during the day as to not miss a thing. You know what kisses are and lean in when I pucker my lips. What a sweet joy!

You can crawl backwards, though very slowly. You can roll and tumble as a log to go where you need to go. You love bananas and pears and have a complete disdain for most vegetables. You love to nurse still which is still the most ironic thing for me!

If I am working upstairs and someone babysitting you, and I come downstairs, you immediately find me and start fussing. You absolutely love your mommy and daddy.

I can take you anywhere right now. You are easy to deal with. You only cry when hungry or tired though I believe teething may change that I'm noticing.

You started sleeping through the night again 4 nights ago. I've been in heaven recharging my batteries. It's very tough in the beginning with a baby and one day when you are a Daddy you will find out! Parents really do go through a lot for their little ones.

You still haven't met your Uncle Billy and several distant relatives on your Papa's side. Maybe Uncle Billy will come around, but he's missed out on you by his own choice. It makes me sad because he would have loved you right now had he not held such big grudges against family for no reason. One thing I've learned is never hold a grudge against family. Yes, they will do things that a friend wouldn't do. But, they are family. I hope that you will have a forgiving heart and peacemaker soul like your father. Your daddy could work through any conflict with his soft heart.

I am so glad you are in my life. Just as they say, I cannot imagine life before you. I hope that you grow up to become a wonderful man just like your daddy and a lot of your Papa, too. We can't wait to get you on the golf course so that I can brush up on my golf game. It's been a year this month since I held a golf club!

Your cheeks are chubby. So many times I will put your little chunky foot in my mouth and pretend to gnaw on it. You will squeal with delight. What a joy!

Just yesterday you refused to sleep in your crib during the morning nap. You fell asleep on me. I sure love you cuddle bug!
