5th Months Old!

Luke is now 5 months old. He weighs about 18 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long. He is still wearing 6-9 and 9 month clothes but it is only a matter of time till he grows out of them! He goes to bed around 8:00 pm and sleeps until 5:00ish am, nurses and falls back asleep until 8:00ish am. He sometimes cries two or three times at night but usually not for more than 5 minutes. There are times when we have to change his diaper around 2:00 or 3:00 am, but this is become less frequent. He sometimes takes a 45-60 min nap in the morning and a 1-2 hour nap in the afternoon. He sleeps the best when he is in his car seat and we are driving. If Laura is really lucky, she can get Caitlynn and Luke down for a nap at the same time! Luke eats 5 times a day: two 5 1/2-6 oz bottles and nurses the other times. He also has started eating "real" food and has LOVED everything we have given him! This month, he tried rice cereal, green beans and sweet potatoes. we also introduced formula, which has kept down quite well. We ended up getting a sensitive brand for his lactose intolerance. This month, Luke met his cousin Ashton for the first time at a BBQ we had here at home. Luke also discovered we had a dog. Now, whenever he sees Rocco he smiles and laughs. It will only be a matter of time before he is chasing after him! He can now blow "raspberries kisses". Luke is putting things in his month and drooling a lot more so we think this may be the beginning of teething. We will just have to wait and see!
