6 months (Luke)

• 6 month stats…
• Length: 27 inches
• Weight: 19 lbs 4 oz
• Head Circumference: 17 5/8 inches
• Luke is loving food now!  At 5 months, he wasn’t too impressed, but now he can’t get enough.  They will feed him baby food at daycare for lunch and we usually give him 2 servings of baby food for dinner (we think he could eat more, but we don’t want him getting sick!). On the weekends we’ll give him something easy for breakfast too, but when we’re pressed for time during the week it’s just a bottle. He’s usually not that hungry in the mornings anyway. His favorite food is without a doubt…PUFFS!
• He is definitely mobile now too. He can roll anywhere he wants to go and will scoot backwards when he’s trying to crawl.  He gets up on his knees and rocks back and forth really fast…we think he’ll be crawling any day now.
• He is sitting up pretty well, but still gets a little off balance at times and falls over.
• Luke is such a ham.  He loves to smile.  We had Easter pictures taken and the photographer couldn’t believe how easy it was to get him to smile.
• He still only has his 2 bottom teeth. Lots of low grade fevers and drooling, so we think tooth #3 will make an appearance soon.
• He’s sleeping in his crib full time now and since we started feeding him real (baby) food he’s been sleeping a lot longer.  We’ve even made it all night a few times…woo hoo!
• Luke loves his big sissy. When he sees Gwynn his face lights up.  He loves to roll around on the floor with her and pull her hair.  He also likes to steal her toys which she isn’t too happy about.
• It’s very hard for Mommy to wear necklaces because Luke will get a death grip on it and pull as hard as he can. He even broke one, but thankfully Pop was able to fix it!
• We have been so blessed with another sweet, sweet baby.  We can’t believe he is 6 months old already.  We were so nervous about Gwynn and Luke being so close in age, but he’s made it so easy because he’s so laid back.  I can’t wait to see what the next few months have in store as he starts getting more mobile!  Should be fun!!
