5 Months

I can't believe my little Lukey Bear is 5 months old!  He is rolling tummy to back and back to side.  He loves playing in his exersaucer and is beginning to bounce and spin in it.  He is using his hands to grasp objects and bring them to his mouth.  Everything goes in the mouth these days.  He has also developed this happy squeal and is talking all the time.  We also began introducing rice cereal at the very end of the 4th month.  He is now opening his mouth to accept the spoon.  He is still only taking a few bites, more for practice than nutrition, at this point.  He is beginning to fall into a schedule which will be helpful for the Nanny.  Mommy goes back to work, part time, in June.  It will be hard to leave my little man but I think it will also be a good break.  Wish us luck!

4 Months Old

Another month has flown by.  Luke is now sitting up in his bumbo, pushing up onto his elbows while on his tummy, grasping toys and bringing them to his mouth, and rolling onto his side.  He is fascinated with his hands.  We catch him looking at his hands in amazement daily.  He is also chewing on his hands like crazy.  Many of the pictures over this month are of him with his hands in his mouth.


4 Month Stats:
Height: 24.5 inches

Luke had his 3 month Photos taken at Sears.  This was our third attempt at making our appointment without tears or a meltdown. He was so good and smiled for the camera!

3 Months

We've made it to 3 Months!  Luke is definitely getting easier.  He is sleeping for longer stretches, is awake for longer stretches, and is overall more fun.  He is a very social baby.  He loves faces and just melts my heart with his smile.  This month he discovered his hands.  He can swat at hanging toys, grasp a toy placed in his hands, and is bringing his hands to his mouth.  We even got his first little giggle.  I'm hoping this month will bring his first big belly laugh.  Here are some pics from out adventures this past month.

Our Favorite Game...Super Luke!

2 Months Old

I can't believe another month has flown by.  My little man is now 2 months old!  We are starting to find our groove but we still have many rough days and nights.  Luke does best when we get out of the house early in the morning to run errands.  If he can get a long morning nap usually the rest of our day is easier.  Luke has had many firsts this month...first trip to Disneyland, first time in the BJorn, first shots (booo), and first time to Chuck E Cheese.  He is growing so fast I can't even believe it.

Two Month Stats:

11 pounds and 22.5 inches

We are no longer in our Newborn clothes :(

Here are some shots from our newborn photo shoot with cousin Jessica.  I can't believe she got any good pics because Luke was just not having it that day.
