Lucas - 6 months

Time for more posts about each baby! Lucas is our big chunky guy. He gets heavier by the day and he has lots of adorable rolls of fat. He loves to eat and is really starting to get the hang of how to eat purees from a spoon.

He also loves splashing in the bath tub.

He does not enjoy when we play dress-up.

He's not sure about his new sunglasses




Lucas is also a very determined young man. He gets really frustrated whenever he is trying to reach the next milestone and keeps working hard until he gets it. There were many sleepless nights when he was trying to roll from back to tummy, and now he's an expert at rolling. His current area of frustration is wanting to crawl. He keeps trying to scooch across the floor to get to toys and is clearly mad that he can't figure out the crawling thing.



He loves playing in his exersaucer and is very systematic in his play. He starts with one toy and then moves to each one in a clockwise order around the circle.



Lucas is also super smiley and loves to laugh a lot. Activities like diaper changes, getting dressed, and eating often make him laugh. And of course being tickled makes him laugh too. He is our happy guy, and it makes us sad when we see him in pain from teething (we think that's what it is). We're hoping to see a tooth or two soon!



***News Flash!***
I started working on this post at 4:30am, after feeding Abby and while I was pumping. At that point Lucas hadn't gotten up to eat yet. Well, he didn't get up until 6:30ish! He went to bed at 7:30, so this was his first time truly sleeping through the night without getting up for any snacks. The last month or two have been rough in terms of sleep because of his cold, trying to roll over, and teething. I hope this is the beginning of a positive trend!
