Lucas is such a love. He is quick to smile and loves to be held over your shoulder so he can see everything going on. It is also the easiest position in which he can get his hands in his mouth.

He likes to be sung to especially Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  It helps to calm him. He gets fussy every night around 9:00 and goes to bed at 9:30 pretty consistently.  Pre-ear infection he was sleeping 5 hours straight every night and then waking every hour or so after that.  So, sleeping for example 9:30-2:30 and then waking often between 3:30-6:30.  He is still swaddled for bedtime but lately has been breaking out of the swaddle every night!  We think it is because he is long. He kicks to get his feet freed and loosens his arms.  And, then of course wakes up!
