Saturday at Home

Today we had a lazy Saturday at home. I haven't been feeling well since yesterday - very achy and running a high temperature. Drew was planning to go up to his parents' to mow this morning, and he offered to take Luke along so that I could sleep in. And sleep in I did! It's been such a long time (almost 6 months!) since I've been able to just sleep in and not have to worry about Luke waking up or needing to be fed, so it was really nice to be able to do that.

Once Drew and Luke got back, we spent the majority of the day at home and got some things done around the house. We did venture out this evening to do some grocery shopping, then came back home.

Luke has done a great job of eating single-grain rice cereal for the past two weeks, so tonight we picked up some single-grain oatmeal for him to try. So far, so good! He did great with it :) Once he's been eating the oatmeal for two weeks, then we can give him single-grain barley. And once he's good with the barley, he can try multi-grain cereal. And finally, once he's gotten all of that covered, we can start fruits and veggies - YAY!

Here's the oatmeal - basically we just mix it with his formula to create a sort of mush. Appetizing, isn't it?

Drew's Aunt Barbara was in town last weekend, and she got Luke this fun new toy. It's definitely his new favorite! 

Now when we play on the floor, I have to lay down multiple blankets because Luke rolls right off if I only use one! He definitely doesn't stay in one place any more. And in these photos he's sporting a new sweatshirt from Marmee! The hood is a bit big, but otherwise it fits great!
