I can't believe that it's been half a year since my little butterball came into this world.  At his 6 month check up he was 27 inches long and weighs 19 lbs 7 oz.  He is in size 3 diapers and size 9 month clothes.  During this past month: Luke doesn't like his Johnny Jumper anymore.  He prefers his regular jumper. Luke eats cereal for breakfast, pureed fruits for lunch, and pureed vegetables for dinner.  Luke got his first sickness.  The Dr. said it was a virus and he had fever for 5 days and broke out in a rash all over his body.  Luke's rash from his fever Sick little guy Luke is getting better about sitting up on his own but he can't do it for very long yet.  I'm working on sitting up like a big boy Luke is chewing on everything and putting everything in his mouth Luke's legs and arms are really strong!    

Even now I cringe....

January 27th (Sunday) Morning - More visitors to see Luke Afternoon - Richie notices the Jaundice and the Pediatrician was called January 28th (Monday) 8AM - go straight to the pediatrician when it opened 11 AM - went to the hospital with him for jaundice The point of this was
