Lucas is 5 months already, and I just sit and think about when he was just born. It is crazy that he has been with us for 5 months and I do not remember my life before him!!! The funny part is I don't want to. He has made me so happy and everyday with him has given me a new found appreciation for Abraham also. I still see the two of them together and my heart just melts, and I absolutely KNOW that I am the LUCKIEST girl in the world, to have to guys that I love so much.
Lucas is sitting up all by himself now. He likes to sit and play and laugh with me. His little belly laughs are so adorable, it is something that I could listen to all day long. He has had a couple of little falls backwards, but for the most part he is doing really well. Lucas is also starting to enjoy peek a boo, he will wait for me to pop out from behind a blanket or my hands and just giggle.
He is getting so big and chunky, we will go to the doctor in a couple of weeks, but i think he is pushing 20 lbs. We are hoping to start him on green beans this weekend, since he already eats two large bowls of cereal a day, and seems like he could do more, but I don't want him to learn to over eat. We have been really amazed at how Lucas has turned out because it is not exactly what we expected. He is a very routine kind of baby (and anyone who knows me knows I am so scatter-brained that routine is really not my thing), he even prefers to sleep in his crib (we have tried putting him in the bed with us but he doesn't like it. He even puts himself back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night =) I just don't know where this came from, maybe Abraham because it wasn't me.
Abraham is going for his surgery on Wednesday and I am going to be left to do everything, this
is going to be really hard, but I know it will be better for our family in the long run. ~Valarie
