Baby Luke is 7 months old! I can't believe it! I truly don't remember life before him.
We're recovering from another bout of bronchiolitis (poor little guy can't catch a break), and we happened to go to the doctor on his 7-month birthday. Our tall, skinny boy weighed 17 pounds, 7 ounces.
Luke is still a pretty chill baby! Except poor guy keeps getting sick, so he's definitely been a little more fussy and attached lately, which is totally understandable! He is still mostly happy and smiley and easy. :)
He is getting his top two teeth! One poked through a couple days ago, and the other is right behind it. It looks like he will have a giant gap between his front teeth, like sister has and mommy had. ;)
We've been struggling a bit to get on a specific schedule, mostly because he's been sick so often, having two kids is hard, and we've honestly been in survival mode many days. Real life! But generally he still eats 5 times a day (nurses 4 times and bottle once), and he takes 2-3 naps a day. He goes to sleep around 7:30 pm, and he wakes up between 6-7 am. He is still waking up at night. He'll usually wake up at least a couple times crying, but he doesn't want to eat, he just wants us to hold him and comfort him. He is a very unpredictable sleeper, so we just wing it.
We've been slow to introduce solids with Luke. At first he loved food! We were just doing purees. Then he was having tummy troubles. Then he decided he wasn't very into food. Then he got sick again, and we completely stopped trying for a few days. We're just not putting pressure on it and going with the flow.
Luke loves:
- Perry! They have started "playing" together a little bit, and they just love each other so much.
- His dump truck! This might be his favorite toy right now? He also really loves chewing on tags and strings and closing the window on the "house toy".
- Peek-a-boo! He will smile so big and laugh when we play it!
- Bathtime!
- Swinging!
- Being held or facing outwards in the Baby Bjorn
- Kicking! Constantly.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Luke from the past month:
We couldn't imagine our life without Luke! Love you, buppy!
