It has been another rough month of bad nights. It seems Lucas has fallen into a pattern of waking nearly almost every hour. For example, he goes to bed between 8:30-9:00pm and wakes at 10, 11, 12, 2 and 4. At 4am I typically bring him into bed with me and (not surprisingly) he goes right to sleep cuddling on my arm. Needless to say, been an exhausting month!
On a good note, he is a very social and happy boy during the day. He takes consistent naps and is predictable about being hungry and tired. He still loves to watch Katie and Andrew play and is starting to interact more and more with them. If he can reach either of them from where he is sitting/lying, he grabs their arm/leg and makes this happy roaring noise. He is playing with them!
He spends time on the floor every day with toys around him.
Boppy pillow there just in case he decides to be all done & throws himself backwards....
like so...
At the pool playground - big sister pushing Lucas
At a different playground with Katie and Andrew and friends
Loves tummy time now and skooches around
Hanging with his sis and bro watching Saturday morning cartoons
Took a tub in the sink this month. Just so much easier
than bending down & worrying about him falling backwards.
Lucas is getting more and more difficult to photograph. Everything is in his mouth!
yum
The best shot!
