So Big...

Lucas is growing too fast. I just can't believe how fast the time is going already. He just started reaching out his arms for his Mama :)

5 Months Old

A Lot Happens in a Month!

We decided to start sleep training with Lucas. That was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do, but in the end...it was the best thing for everyone. It took about two solid days of crying and no sleep, but by the third day, he took a half an hour nap in his crib. The fourth day was even better...he took several hour long naps. Not only did his naps improve, he went longer stretches at night too.

On March 26, I was talking with my Mom and she said that I got my first tooth at five months. I thought he was teething, but the doctor's told me, "No he isn't teething yet." Lucas was being particularly fussy on this day so I checked and the little guy got his first bottom right tooth poking through. Four days later, his bottom right one came through. I seriously almost gave up breastfeeding...he had been "gumming" me all week, which seriously hurt. Every time he bites me, which is usually towards the end of feeding, I flick his cheek and say, "No Bite" he got the hang of that really quickly...he looks up at me like what was that for and then goes back to sucking. He has not bitten me in over a week! :) Breastfeeding continues happily.

We started rice cereal and boy was he ready. I had no idea how ready he was but he kept opening his mouth for the spoon and leaning forward for more. He didn't make the "what the heck is this," face, that I was hoping for. But I am sure that will come with other solid foods. I have been letting him drink from a cup in the last week, which has been fun. Although, most of the liquid goes right to his shirt.

A lot of people ask me if we call him Luke, we have not started calling him Luke yet, even though we absolutely love the nickname. However, our nickname has evolved into "Mr. Lucas" and we say it like, Mrrrr. Willllsssoooonn from Denis the Menace. "Mrrrr Luuuucaaasss" :)

Well that is all for now! Thanks for reading!

Tummy Time?

A Roller...

So Lucas started rolling from his tummy to his back about a month ago, but now everytime we try and put him on his tummy, he immediately rolls to his back. Then he looks at us like, "there, I did it!" How are we supposed to do tummy time and practice crawling. :)

Scrub a Dub Dub...

Splish Splash I Was Takin a Bath...Ohh, how we love bath time!

Donna's Birthday

March 13, 2010

Casey and I figured there is nothing more that we could give my Mom for her birthday than a few hours alone to babysit Lucas. We took him down to her house and surprised her with him. I think they had a pretty good time together. I don't know where my Mom found this adorable Dragon, but he loved it! Casey and I had a great time together too! Although we are away from our Son and our Dog and what do we do, we go shopping for them. Go figure. Ha Ha
