Luke is now 4 months old and we have no idea where the time has gone! He just went in for his doctor's appointment and is 16 lbs 12 ozs and 26 inches long. He got 2 shots and only cried for about 30 seconds. He really was a champ! The doctor was happy with his development and size. She said he must be eating well! She said we can start feeding him baby cereal on a more regular basis and start introducing baby food. Laura made all of Caitlynn's baby food so she is going to do the same for Luke. Hopefully, he will not have any food allergies and will like everything she makes . Based on his current size, we think he will have quite an appetite for everything she makes!
Luke currently goes to bed around 8:00 and sleeps about 12 hours. He still wakes up 2-4 times at night to have his diaper changed or eat. He takes a nap from 10-12ish and will cat nap in the afternoons. He eats five 5.5 oz bottles and nurses 2-3 times throughout the night. we figured out that he will go longer stretches between feedings if he gets a bottle so Laura is pumping during the day. We will probably be switching over to formula within the next month as she does not produce enough for the hungry guy!
This month, Luke found his feet and loves to play with them. He also laughs out loud, mostly when he is playing with Ryan. He tried rice cereal, but didn't keep it all down. We will feeding him more often over the next month as well as introducing other baby foods that Laura will be making. Luke got to meet Uncle Mike and his cousins Madison and Simone for the first time. He also had his first family vacation to Rehoboth Beach, DE.
