Playdate

Lucas and I went on our first playdate this week with Leah and Isaiah! We went into Seattle and went to the park. Lucas swung in a baby swing for the first time! There were four boys in our group and one girl. Everyone was six and seven months old. We had a great time!

Andea's Birthday!

Grandma Andea turned 5_?

All I can say is she is still in her 50's! :) We had a great time. We were sad that Nate and Jamie and Avery could not be there, but we celebrated as if they were! Casey decorated our whole house with balloons and streamers. We had BBQ Chicken sandwiches and Coke Floats for dessert. Happy Birthday Andea.

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. :)
