Four Months!

Sweet baby Lucas is now four months old!
I can't believe how quickly time has gone.
It seems like he should still just be a newborn, but now he's a full fledged baby, trying to more things.


Luke has turned into a super drooly baby and loves to suck and chew on everything, fingers, toys, faces, my shoulder.  It almost seems like he might be teething, combined with being grumpy and not sleeping well, yet I feel like he's too young still.
He is constantly blowing bubbles and the front of his shirt is generally wet from all the drool.


He is doing great at tummy time. He can scoot around in a circle and tries to get to the toys I put out.
He is happiest when his big brother is around.  He loves to watch Jack play.  If he gets up from his nap and Jack is still asleep, he arches and looks around for him.  Yet he is a mommy's boys and wants mommy to hold him as much as possible.

 Luke is very chatty and talks very loudly to all who will listen.  He is a very social baby and loves to smile and talk to people that he sees.
He is getting good at grabbing onto to things, including toys and hair, so that he can pull them to his mouth to eat.
He also likes to sit in his Bumbo seat so that he can get a better view of the world.
He likes to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with his brother and will stop fussing if he hears the music.


He hasn't been sleeping well over the past week and has gone from sleeping a 6 hour stretch every night to only a 3 hour stretch, then waking up quite a bit the rest of the night, then up super early.  We're hoping this will pass soon.
Naps are still hit or miss - some days he naps great, other days we'll only get little cat naps out of him.


He eats about every 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
He wears size 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers.

In the words of Jack, "Ukey is growing weally, weally big!"
Slow down, Ukey!
