Has it been four months already? (Do I begin all of these monthly Luke updates with that same phrase)? Time flies.

| Luke during our recent visit to Dallas |
The little guy continues to grow (wider and taller) week by week and everything was well at his four month check up with the pediatrician. Luke is becoming more "interactive" as he now definitely responds to his environment. For us that sometimes means very loud crying... but usually it means lots of smiles, squeals (of delight), baby babbling and the occasional laugh or giggle. He sometimes "talks" back and forth with us and he seems to like engaging people. Check out the video clip below for some giggles.

| Fingers in the mouth has become a regular pastime |
He's able to reach out and grasp things now... and anything he can grab usually goes directly to his mouth. Getting the object into his mouth is another challenge - but he tries to examine everything that way. Drool is very common these days... lots of drool. We sometimes have to change his clothes during the day just to replace a drool-soaked outfit with a dry one.

| A round baby balancing on a round pumpkin |
He's just starting to try eating rice cereal (mixed with formula) as his first solid food. After only a few tries, Luke still isn't sure if he likes it... he mostly seems surprised when the spoon enters his mouth and most of the food gets drooled or spit out.

| The exersaucer is fun (for about 10 minutes) |
Luke has slept through the night several times. It's definitely not a regular occurrence, but it has happened more often lately so we're hopeful that it will become routine very soon!
