Oops We missed a month

I know everyone told me the 3rd baby would not get as much attention, there would be less photos, and that generally he would just have to find his spot in the already established family routine. While I knew this was probably true, I have tried my best to prove them wrong. We bought a new camera while I was pregnant so pictures would be abundant. I got a new phone with video capabilities so I could send is first movements across the web, but at five months in I have already failed. I forgot to record his fourth month achievements and yesterday he was 5 months.

Time really is flying by with this one. Our Lovely Luke is precious! He has a big smile for everyone and hardly fusses at all about being carted around to all of his sister & brother's activities, play dates and parties. Our weekends are all about making special time for the big kids individually and little Luke just says OK, you go and have your fun, I am happy to just chill at home!

So here goes.. at 4 months Luke was 25 1/4 inches long and weighed 17.9lbs! That is getting close to being off the charts.. There was not an official weigh in at 5 months, but my aching back is telling me he is still putting on the lbs! Everyone loves a chunky baby, so Luke is getting lots and lots of love!

He is just starting to twist his little body around, and if left on his tummy he will scoot backwards until something or someone stops him. He is doing very well sleep wise, consistently sleeping from 7pm - 8am with feeds at 10 & 6. His morning nap is more often than not on the go in the car, but when at home he loves to stretch out in is bed and crash for a hour. Afternoon nap is still very temperamental varying from 1 -3 hours (oh how I wish this would become a nice consistent nap). I know these might be boring details to report, but I have always said this blog is for me, and I know one day I will appreciate being able to look back on these little details.

Next step is food.. we are prepared with bibs, spoons and baby rice. My plan is to wait as long as possible before starting solids, once you go solid, you can't go back! Since he is sleeping over night so well we will probably wait until that changes before we make a go of it.

The big 6 month weigh in is right around the corner, so stay tuned for the latest developments!
