8 months old

Lucas is already 8 months old! He is growing up so fast. Three of his teeth on top have popped through just within the last few days and one more is about to come through. That means he will have 6 teeth! He will soon have a nice toothy grin. He is such a content baby even with his teeth coming in. The only change we saw in him is that he woke up early in the mornings for a few days but he would quickly go back to sleep when we went in and gave him his binky. We are so lucky that he is such a good little guy. Once the teeth broke through he went back to sleeping until 8.
He is so curious about everything around him. He loves reaching for things and almost immediately puts them in his mouth. His method of moving is rolling from his back to his tummy and trying to reach things. He hasn't figured out that if he keeps rolling he can go farther. He normally will roll from back to tummy and then tummy to back and kind of shift so he can grab something. He hasn't really shown any interest in crawling yet, but we are pretty content with that. We know that he will be moving all over in no time. He likes to walk when holding our hands, even though he steps on his own toes. He still loves yellow ducks and especially Tillie on Baby First TV. He can watch that anytime and will just get a big smile on his face. I will post a video of him watching it.
He is such a happy baby. He always makes us laugh. It is so fun to see him growing up and learning new things. We love him so much and just want to squeeze and kiss him so much!

Having a video monitor helps us so that we can catch all the crazy positions he gets into in his sleep:

We thought this would only happen once, but this is the second time we caught him with his binkie on his face!

Lucas is getting two new teeth on the top, maybe three. One of his front teeth popped through yesterday and the one next to it is coming in too. We think that his other front tooth might be, but he won't let us investigate for very long. We are amazed at how well he does getting teeth. He has just been a little drooly, but not too cranky. He is such a good little baby.

5 Months

This cute boy is 5 months old today!

A serious case of March Madness is developing in our home as we speak. We are so excited for the NCAA basketball tournament. We watched a few conference tournament games. We are BYU fans first and foremost and then we are local favorite Gonzaga fans. My sister got Lucas these jammies and so he wore them last week as we watched them win their conference championship. He looked so cute!

Can you see his teeth popping out?!

I can't believe this boy is 5 months old. He is getting so big. It is amazing how alert he is. He wakes up a happy boy and we can hear him cooing on the monitor and then stays pretty happy the rest of the day. He loves mommy and daddy. The other night my niece stayed over and Lucas had gone to bed. We thought that we could go to a movie, but my niece called shortly after we got there and Lucas had woken up and was just screaming. She tried to calm him down, but I think once he saw that we weren't there, he just was not going to go back to sleep until we got home. He was asleep about 2 minutes after we got home.

He still loves sucking on his hands. He does this every chance he gets. If his blankie is on his hands, he likes to pull it up to his face and suck on that too. He loves watching the Baby Einstein movies. If we are in the car on the way home and it is time to eat he will calm down if I pull out my phone and turn on a Baby Einstein clip. He likes taking baths and being naked. He likes getting his diaper changed especially when we blow on his tummy. He loves standing up and his legs are getting very strong. He tolerates tummy time and gets stronger pushing himself up everyday.

Lucas is such a great baby. We love him so much! It is so fun to watch him grow and learn everyday!

Teeth!

We were completely surprised when I felt and saw Lucas' two bottom teeth. He hadn't been cranky so to find two teeth already popped through was crazy. Yesterday he was drooling so much that it made his shirt all wet, so today he is wearing a bib. He was "born cute!"
