Six Months Old. Happy Half Birthday Lucas!

Lucas turned Six Months on May 10th.  
He weighs almost 18 lbs (17 lbs 13 oz) and is 26 1/2 inches long. He is our Big Boy!

This month proved to be more difficult taking his picture. He kept crumpling and eating the sign!





Here is what is happening in Lucas' World:
  • He is a bad sleeper. In the last few weeks he wakes about 6 times per night and does not know how to put himself back to sleep! He used to wake 3 times per night.   Getting worse...
  • He is still very smiley.  He lovesto play peek-a-boo  &  "this little piggy" game. 
  • He found his toes this month and loves to lie on his back and play and "talk" to them.
  • He nurses every three hours.  He cannot tolerate formula.  We have tried 5 kinds now and he vomits them up. Fun, fun! :(
  • He rolled tummy to back at 5 months, 9 days and rolled back to tummy at exactly six months
  • He went on his third road trip to Mystic Conneticut April 26 for two nights where he went in a swimming pool for the first time. He loved it.  He discovered how fun it is to splash and now splashes in the tub all the time!
  • He does not like the heat.  The few 70-something days we have he was very fussy with bright red cheeks.
  • He tried his first veggies. First green beans and then sweet potatoes both came back to bite us!  He threw them up....Sensitive tummy?
  • He tried a few sippy cups of water and just chews on them
  • We stopped swaddling him at 5 months, 5 days.  He broke out way too often. He does not like blankets on his feet when he sleeps. He kicks them off.
  • In his spare time he likes to watch Katie and Andrew's baseball games, watch the kids play in the  yard from his exersaucer, and sneak in some TV time when Mom and Dad arent noticing...
