Well Luke keeps me busy! I haven't posted since he was born and boy has life changed! Luke is doing very well. His favorite thing to do is stand. He loves standing either holding onto the table or your hands. He has absolutely no interest in crawling and we will probably just skip that and go straight to walking. The boy, unlike his dad, is still not the best sleeper. We had one week of him sleeping through the night, but we are back to working on this. Last night I got up with him once, but didn't pick him up and rubbed his back for a minute before he fell back to sleep. He did awake again, but I didn't even go in this time. No more sleeping in for mommy & daddy. If we get to 6:30, we are lucky. So we just try and take turns getting up and playing. Luke is doing really well with food, he has tried & loves all sorts of veggies and fruits: apples, bananas, peaches, plums, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, mangoes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, broccoli, peas, green beans, carrots, corn, apricots, avocados, and pears. He has also had some egg yolks with cheese, hummus, and guacamole. Last week he started picking up food and feeding himself so now he gets cheerios or puffs to practice with. Still on a bottle (formula, since breastfeeding only lasted 3 months), but also drinks water from a sippy cup or our cup. He loves to drink from our cups!
We have outgrown the swing, bouncy seat, and play mat. But he loves the exersaucer. At his 6 month appt he was in the 75th percentile for weight (18.5 lbs) and 95th for height (28"), so Luke is a big boy. Right now he is wearing clothes true to his size, 6-9 months, but we do have an issue with the length in the torso of some, especially one pieces.
Luke is such a joy and is a very happy baby. Sure he has his moments of crankiness and crying, but he has overall been a really good baby. It is such a pleasure to watch him learn and discover new things all of the time. He has developed his own little personality and his smile is so warm and genuine. Oh and he gives the most wonderful hugs!!
Watching Luke and Chris melts my heart. Chris has been a very hands on dad. And Luke lights up every night when Chris walks through the door.
Here are a few pics of our little guy taken last week:
Looking back at my last post and the pics of Luke from when he was born, I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by. He is growing up so quickly!
