6 Months Old


Sweet Lukey...it's your half-birthday!! I can't believe you are half-way through your first year. At times it feels like you were born mere days ago and at other times it feels like you've always been a part of our lives. We are so proud to be your parents and I can't help but smile when I think about you. Being your mommy is truly an honor. Here are your 6 month stats:

  • You weigh 19lbs, 1.5 oz (74%tile).
  • You are 28.25 inches long (93%tile).
  • You wear size 12 month clothing and size 3 diapers.
  • You love to eat!  You still nurse around 5AM, 5PM, 7:30PM, and sometimes around 3AM.  While you're at Ms. Debbie's you eat three 5 oz. bottles of breastmilk.  You also eat rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, pears, apples, and carrots.  You eat solids in the morning and at dinnertime.  You started drinking water from a sippy cup this week and you love it!
  • You're sleeping pretty well.  Your nights vary.  You usually go to bed around 7:45. Sometimes you will sleep until 5AM, and at other times you wake up several times a night...usually just once though. You're an unpredictable sleeper!  You love to sleep on your tummy.  Your crib is still in our bedroom.  I get so sad when I think about moving you into your own room, but I know it needs to happen soon.
  • You are a happy baby and don't cry too often.  You smile a lot and will usually smile every time we smile and talk to you...unless you're tired or hungry.
  • Your favorite things include Mommy, Daddy, and Cade...especially Cade, drinking water, exploring things with your mouth, playing in your jumperoo, playing with Cade's toys...which will soon be your toys, reaching for and playing with balls and other toys, and anything with an element of surprise (like peek-a-boo, for instance).  
  • Things that you're not too fond of:  having your nose wiped, anything covering your face, having to wait for the next bite of food, being tired.  
You make us soooooooooo proud and happy Luke!  We love you!
