6 Months!

Ahhhh I totally meant to put this up yesterday and completely forgot! Sorry! Anyway, Lucas is offically half a year. I cant believe it! He had a pretty big month in the milestone department. I think just before he turned 5 months is when he learned how to get in the crawl posistion and start scooting. He was scooting for about 2 weeks and then at 5.5 months is when he started crawling. I couldnt believe he figured it out so quickly! Then, about a week and a half ago he started pulling him self to standing on various objects. I dont know why he thinks he needs to do all of this before he even turned 6 months! Hes going to be trouble thats for sure. Now that hes mobile he goes after everything, even Steeze :) Steeze is not so happy about that. Luckily for now, Steeze can get away because hes quicker!

Yesterday was his 6 month checkup up. He is 17 lbs 14 oz and 27.4 in. I think it was 64th percentile for weight and 87th for height. As always, she was pleased with his development and said I could start feeding him solids 3 times a day. I was only feeding him morning and evening, so I guess now Ill add in a lunch! For some reason the last month he has been sleeping the worst he ever has. Getting up 3-4 times a night is no bueno! She seems to think adding that third meal in will help, so we shall see!

Lucas and I are getting ready to fly out tommorow to head home! Im pretty excited, but sad that Tim cant come with us. Hoefully Lucas does just as good this time as he did last time with the flight :)

6 months old! Time flys!

End of July

I have no idea why the clip in the middle of him talking is black and white! Whoopsie! He has his 6 mo appointment on wed, so I will be sure to update you all on how hes doing :)

First half of July

First half of July as promised :)

5 Months

Its hard to believe he's almost half a year old! I hate how fast time is going. But I do love watching him learn new things. He is certainly looking more mature. He is rolling and scooting all over the place. And, just yesterday, he learned how to get in the crawl stance. I havent gotten a photo yet, but I did get it on video. Ill add it into the next compilation. I have a feeling now that he has learned that he will figure out how to crawl soon. It also looks as though his two front teeth are starting to come in. He doesnt act like hes in pain so im glad its not bothering him yet. But I can for sure see 2 little white spots in front.

I think with these video compilations, I'll try to start doing them mid month and at the end. That way you dont have to wait all month to see what went on at the beginning of the month! But dont count on it, its alot of work and little mister needs alot of attention :) Ill do my best!

Video footage in June

I created a compilation of some of the video footage I got throughout the month of June. Yes, I realize this is not done very well, it was my first time. Im sure I'll get better ;) Enjoy!

First rice cereal attempt!

So as I said previously, the doc said we could try out some rice cereal for him. I figured Id wait a few weeks before I tryed it out. So last night, we gave it a shot! It was pretty funny because at first he had no idea what I was sticking in his mouth, but he eventually figured it out! As soon as I would hold the spoon up he would open his mouth. Im surprised at how fast he caught on. He needs to work on swallowing it better though. Most of it just ended up on him or on the towel in front of him. He was really funny trying to grab the spoon, it was almost like he wanted to feed him self :) All in all it was a good first attempt, and im glad we got some of it on video! I am sad that its that time for new things already, but it is exciting watching him learn these new things!

4 Mo well baby

So he finally had his 4 mo appt. He was 16 lbs 1 oz and 25 in. Just a growing away! We werent able to get his shots because immunizations was closed, so we'll try to get that done this coming week. The ped said that if we wanted to, we could start him on some rice cereal. Hes still getting up 1 or 2 times a night and she said that this might make him sleep better. So I think maybe this week I will go get some and see how he does!

We are all moved into the new house (though not even close to being fully unpacked)! Its crazy to think that this is the house where Lucas is going to learn to crawl, walk, talk, and all sorts of other things. So far we are liking the change. Its most certainly a great thing for Tim, not having to get up as early for work, and wasting so much money on gas! Steeze is loving the yard! I dont let him out there by himself though because of the birds and coyotes.

Steeze checking out the house for the first time!!
