Lucas is 4 Months








I can't believe another month has gone by. Lucas continues to be such a joy and wonderful addition to our family of four.
  • He is just a happy little guy, offering lots of smiles, and coos for anyone that gives him attention. He especially loves watching and smiling at big brother, who in turn offers Lucas lots of kisses.
  • For the most part Lucas is sleeping through the night. There will be an occasional night or two when he wakes once in the night, but overall he is sleeping through- amen to that! I think the sleeping may be attributed to the fact that L bug is a BIG thumb sucker (so much so that he has gotten a blister.) From day one Lucas never cared for the pacifier (Christian wasn't a big fan for long either) but loves his thumb. I am not thrilled about breaking this habit later down the road, but I am enjoying that he can easily calm himself whenever necessary, and that I can lay him down while he is still awake.
  • Lucas is now in size 2 diapers and wears 3-6 month clothing.
  • He weighs 13 pounds 3 ounces putting him in the 10th percentile for weight and is 25 inches long putting him in the 38th percentile for height. (He is smaller and longer than Christian was at 4 months.)
  • Little man is also drooling a lot these days because his first tooth is already beginning to emerge on the bottom left! Hard to believe, it just seems so early!
  • Lucas is grasping and reaching for toys (sucking on them of course) and shows much interest in his little world.
Compare: Christian at 4 months

awww! I just want to hold him so bad. He seems to be a very content baby. So cute.

Cute little man! We can't wait to meet him this summer. I say the thumb sucking is worth every min. of sleep :-)
