- He is 100% sleeping through the night - unswaddled I might add. We started not swaddling him at night a couple of weeks ago because he was starting to roll. It took a few nights for him to get used to it. He would roll himself on to his belly and would not roll himself back over and he wasn't happy so I would go in and roll him back over...this went on for a couple of nights, but now he is sleeping wonderfully! The trick is that he needs to be doing something with or holding something in his hands so that is why he has the little yellow/green blankey with him every night.
- He is becoming even more "squirmy" than he was before. I mentioned in a previous post that he was quickly outgrowing the bouncy seat...well it is officially put away now...
- He has started solid foods...he has had some rice cereal, oatmeal, and as of yesterday, his first taste of sweet potatoes. And an introduction to the sippy cup...so far so good....
- He is beginning to sit up on his own. We do need to be right there still because he does start to lean and can't always pull himself back up, but he is so close! I am really looking forward to this milestone! I thought these pics were just too cute so I had to post them all on here.
- He thinks that Wally and I are the funniest people in the world. While I don't have a picture or video to reflect this at this time - TRUST ME he does. And believe me Wally and I are enjoying every minute of it because we know that this doesn't last!
- He LOVES Nala...she will walk by and he instantly smiles. He doesn't mind the 1,000s of kisses she gives him (although Wally and I do and wish she would listen to us). Lucas gets so excited when he pets her (or should I say "grabs" her hair). While Nala does love to lick Lucas, I don't quite think the love is mutual between the two yet, but we'll get there someday (I hope).
- He is the most easy-going, fun, happy, silly baby. His personality is totally shining through. This video is just a glimpse of the FUN we have everyday!
I asked Wally the other day if it felt like Lucas has been in our lives for 5 months, and we both agreed that it didn't, yet we can't seem to remember life without him!!!
From this...
to this....in no time at all!
Love you buddy!!
He's getting so big! What a personality. And yay! for sleeping...everyone is always happier when the baby sleeps. ;-) We used the same thing with Lane...(as my Dad calls it) the blanket with the head on it! lol! We call it his lovie and it def. helped him sleep. Instead of associating the swaddle with sleep, he associated the lovie with sleep. haha! Whatever works...right?! Lucas is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteYes, the blanket with the head on it...too funny!! It has done wonders! The video of Lane waving is too cute!
