Today, Luke and I went to the pool with Noah and Misty and Joanna and Kadence. Joanna and Kadence are visiting from Colorado. It brought back great memories because I used to watch Kadence and Noah when they were babies.
Yesterday, Luke went to Dallas to visit Dad at work. He was quite the charmer. He smiled and cooed at all of the women, and threw up on dad's work shirt. He made the rounds and then we went and ate lunch. Ford's office building has this tunnel system underneath which leads to other buildings, all of which have quite a few lunch places. Luke loved all of the people and stuff to look at. He had a great time.
Here he is at dad's office...
Here he is nuzzling with dad at lunch...
After the visit, we went to the Doctor. They increased his medicine, since he now weighs 12 lbs!! He has gotten so big! They think that should do the trick. He seems to be sleeping better and feeling a little better already thanks to some tips from Misty, who had to become an expert on reflux when Noah had it. In the evening, we had dinner with friends. Since everyone else already blogged about that, you can see Misty's and Joanna's blogs with pictures from that fun evening and all of the kids together!!
Aunt Casey came and hung out this weekend. Luke loves to play with her and Uncle D (as Ford likes to call Dustin) and I love having someone else entertain him and she even changes diapers!! We went to dinner at our favorite restaurant, Frescos and had a great time. We wish that we lived closer to them!!
Luke has reflux. Everyone always says, oh all babys spit up...but it's more than that. It hurts him, and when he was very little, he had trouble gaining weight because he spit everything back up. He had been doing a lot better, but lately we have noticed he has been in more pain. Actually we weren't sure what was wrong...teething, ears, tired...but we think now it is the reflux and are on our way back to the dr. today. He is such a mellow, happy baby that we know if he is fussy very often, then something is hurting him. Hopefully they can just adjust his medicine and he will be feeling much better. We finally realized that he needed to sleep sitting up, and last night he slept great in his swing, since laying down on his back was hurting him a lot. I'll update after the dr.
Luke is growing up so fast!! He loves to stand up, and he is so strong. He loves to play with his friend Noah. He can roll over, stand holding your hands, and laughs a lot. He is also sleeping really well. He usually goes to bed around 10, then doesn't wake up until 5 or 6 am. Then he sleeps again until 8 or 9. It is so great to get that much sleep. It isn't too bad waking up so early, since he is always so happy and smiley at 5 am. I can't believe he is already 3.5 months old!! It's going by way too fast.
We left Luke for the first time Friday to go out to dinner. I have left him to go to the grocery store and errands, but this was the first official night out. He stayed with the Tate's and did great. You can click on the link to the Tate family blog to the right and read all about it. She even took pictures!! Ford and I went and ate at Joe's Crab Shack. It was fun and I ended up with more crab on me than in me.
I am blogging in reverse 
order, since I got behind. We went to Bartlesville at the end of July. This marked a lot of firsts for Luke. His first plane ride, his first trip to Bartlesville, and his first time meeting his great grandma George and Great grandmother Reed and Pop. The whole trip was very smooth. He was great on the plane and thanks to Aunt Casey, the airport wasn't too difficult at all. Luke loved seeing all of his family again at Nana's house and meeting new friends 
and family. He is such a laid back little guy that he just went with the flow. He missed his daddy, who had to stay back in Texas to work.
