Time for a doctor's visit

We had our first sick baby visit at the doctor's office yesterday. Luke's been coughing for a few days so they said to take him in. I think we're pretty lucky he's had 6 1/2 months of good health, considering he's a preemie and he's been in daycare for so long already. It turned out he had an ear infection. Hopefully this is a one time thing. The doctor said she normally lets it run its course, but because of his age she wanted to put him on antibiotics, otherwise it could get worse. Luckily the antibiotics taste/smell nothing like the vitamin he has to take every day. While we were there I asked them to weigh him and he's up to 14 lbs. 5 oz.

We've been working with him to try and sit up and he's slowly getting there. He's also been getting the hang of this eating thing. We tried carrots tonight. Although you can't tell from this picture, I think it's safe to say he loved them. We even had to give him a second helping! Here he is having some more for breakfast.

The picture at the top is Luke shrieking. That's what he's been doing this week, shrieking non-stop. It's quite funny!
