Happy 5 months Lucas!

To my littlest man. Happy 5 months!

You bring us so much joy Lucas! You are so happy and smile all the time! We love all your giggles and laughter.

Your favorite thing is sucking on your hands. Whether it be your entire fist or just your thumb, you do it for hours and it makes you very happy.

You also adore your big brother. You both take delight in one another and this makes your mama so happy and proud to have two sweet boys. I hope you'll always look out for one another and always be best friends.

Oh lucas, we love you so much. I can't get enough of those sweet rosy chunky cheeks, those big blue eyes, your chunky little hands, little toes, and thunder thighs! You are so calm and content and add the perfect balance to our family. You keep Caleb calm and Caleb keeps you entertained. It works out nicely for your mama! I am happy to be your mama and I hope you'll always know how much you are loved!

Happy 5 months little man.

Here is what you've been up to this month:

weight 20.5 lbs

length 27.5 in

you are wearing 12 month clothes

you still sleep pretty great. at night you snooze for about 13 hrs. lately 7pm-8am then you take two short 20 minute naps in the morning and a long one in the afternoon with brother (about 2-3 hrs) if your afternoon one is shorter than usual you'll take another snooze in the evening before bed. We rock you to sleep and swaddle you still (we'll be stopping soon though :(. with the swaddle that is. i can't get enough of the rocking and loving on my little man so we'll continue with that!) you wake up about 2 or 3 times in the night and nurse and then go right back to sleep. i love those quiet moments with you. just you and i in the peaceful dark of the night. they are precious alone moments that i Cherish this time around knowing it won't last forever.

we've tried rice cereal a couple times, not a huge fan yet.

you giggle and laugh all the time! you are so entertained by the littlest f things :)

you are content to lay and watch caleb while sucking on your hands most of the day

you still enjoy tummy time and have now rolled over a few times

you are cooing, mostly whenever it is just you and dad or i, when caleb's around you get quiet watching him. sometimes the two of you will carry on a conversation that no one else can understand, this is kinda cute!

that's all i can think of for now. we love watching you grow and learn and take delight in the world around you! we love you so much lucas gregory!

love, mama
