Stuff....

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:10

That verse was in a daily devotional book I am using right now. I've reread it a couple of times. It reminds that me that God will not let me down. It seems hard to believe sometimes, with all of the "stuff" going on around the world right now. But ultimately, He has my best in mind.

I haven't made a post about just Luke in awhile, so here are a couple of things.

Last weekend, we finally changed out his carseat. He was one pound away from being too heavy for the other one. His feet were sticking out, off of the other carseat, and so, he was too long. It was overdue. We had purchased a new carseat for him at the beginning of March. We just hadn't installed it yet.

He didn't seem to mind at all. The transition was very simple. Here's a photo of him in the new seat, trying to pull his red sock off of his foot -- a common, everyday occurrence.



Hopefully, all of our snow is gone until next winter. Who knows, though? When the weather's nice and it's not extremely windy, Luke and I go outside for walks (Luke, obviously in the jogging stroller since he's not walking yet). He's always very content in the stroller, but the other day, he was SO extremely happy about being in it. So, I captured a couple of cute photos.



This particular day, it wasn't real sunny. So, I kept his shade pulled up. He kept looking up at me and just smiling. Oh, how I love it when he does stuff like that! And yes, I nearly always attach a toy or two to his seatbelt. He seems to like that.



Quite a few months back, I made a post about Luke sucking his thumb (I'm not even real sure what month it was). For those of you who don't know, Luke has, since birth, refused a pacifier. I even tried five different kinds. Fortunately, pretty early on, he found his thumb. Though he tends to NOT use his thumb when he's cranky (I sometimes wish he would), he is VERY GOOD at using his thumb to put himself to sleep.

The other day, I went and woke him up from a nap as I wanted him to sleep later that night. I walked in and turned the light on. Usually, that wakes him up. He was so asleep that the light didn't wake him up. So, I rushed to get the camera and snap this cute photo of him asleep with his thumb in his mouth.



I won't go into the whole thumb-sucking/pacifier debate and advantages/disadvantages of either. However, at least for right now, the thumb-sucking seems to work. Plus, we never get woken up at night because he can't find his pacifier. He always finds his thumb to go back to sleep.

That's all for now. Have a fantastic weekend!
