Lucas

I want to try to write posts about each baby so you can get to know them as individuals, not just as part of a set.

Lucas is such a happy boy. His reflux pain is much better with the Zantac, so his happiness can come through more often now. He loves smiling at his image in the mirror above the changing table, and is very smiley and happy in the mornings. He loves splashing in the bathtub, looking at toys (especially a striped zebra on the playmat and a whale on the swing), and playing in his bouncy seat.



He is the heaviest of the 3 - our bathroom scale estimate is around 14 pounds. Definitely can't lift him one-handed anymore! He is working on holding his head up more steadily, and on finding his thumb. He enjoys sitting in the bumbo seat and watching the ceiling fan.



He clearly loves to eat - a man after my own heart. He really seems to enjoy his food in a way that's more than just to satisfy his hunger. He is my best nurser and would probably be happy to be exclusively breastfed if I were available to do that all the time.



He is also a pretty good sleeper, although the thrush episode led to some regression. It doesn't take too much effort to get him to fall asleep, and he usually sleeps at least 8 hours. He transitioned from sleeping in his carseat to sleeping on his back in the crib pretty well.




In this video he is showing off his skills in the rainforest bouncer. We have it set so that he has to hit the dangling toys in order for the sounds and lights to work. He really seems to understand what he needs to do! Such a smart boy.
