Lucas 2 Months

This little guy is growing like crazy!! Last week he had his two month check up. He weighs 14 lbs 12 oz 90th percentile and he was 24 1/4in 95th percentile!! He is a big boy. He is over a pound bigger than Andrew was at two months. He is wearing size 3 month clothes now and size 1 diapers. I can't believe it has been two months already, but at the same time I cannot picture life without him.

 

At about 5 weeks he started sleeping in his crib. He loves to sleep in his crib, which is awesome! We swaddle him at night, but leave his arms out. He usually sleeps about a 5 to 6.5 hour stretch at night which is great. He is usually pretty easy to get back to sleep after he eats. I really think we lucked out in the sleep department with him.

 

He is eating every 3 hours during the day. He has moved up to eating about 5oz each time. I say about because sometimes he will eat 4 but sometimes 6. At about 8 weeks we started offering him 6 oz because he would finish the 5 oz bottle. He is kind of a lazy eater. He takes about 30 minutes to finish a bottle. He uses a paci occasionally to fall asleep, but doesn't seem to need it at night.

 

He started smiling this past month!! I love to see his smile because it is so cute!! He has started cooing too. I love it! He loves to be talked to and loves playing on his activity mat. He is not a huge fan of tummy time. When I put him on his tummy he just tries to fall asleep.

 

Andrew still loves Lucas so much. I just want time to slow down so I can enjoy these boys more! Here are some pictures from the last month.

Andrew's First Day Back to School

Last week Andrew went back to school. He was so excited! He was a little unsure of his new teachers, but he already seems adjusted. He loves having his friend JJ in his class this year. He was so excited for school both days and I love that he enjoys it so much. Can't believe how big my first baby is getting.

 

How Much Do They Really Look Alike??

I am getting a ton of people telling me that Lucas looks just like Andrew. They definitely look like brothers and maybe even twins!! In these two pictures they definitely look alike, but I think they still have their differences. When Andrew was born everyone told me how much he looked like Mark and everyone tells me that Lucas looks just like me. Who knows?? I tried to find pictures that were similar. It looks like Lucas is a little bit bigger than Andrew. The pictures are taken around the same ages too.

 

Andrew 6 weeks

Lucas 5 weeks

The funny part about the next picture is that Andrew is 2 weeks older and Lucas looks so much bigger than Andrew.

Andrew 9 weeks

Lucas 7 weeks

 

A Little Trip to the Children's Museum

My friend Merrin was so nice to invite us to the Children Museum. She has a family pass and was able to get us in for free. Andrew had a blast! He loves hanging out with his friend Blair. We might need to get a pass to the museum because Andrew enjoyed it more than I thought he would.

We always have to get a picture in the Indy car

Love these boys!!

 

First Baseball Game as a Family of 4

We made it to an Indians game as a family of four!! A couple weeks ago we decided to venture out and try a baseball game. We had so much fun and Lucas did great. The games are very family friendly and we sat in the upper section that isn't very crowded. We took Lucas in my new ergo carrier and that worked much better than worrying about a stroller.

I love my boys!!

Of course, Andrew had to track down Rowdy!!

I promise Lucas is somewhere in there! Thanks Mema and Papa for the carrier! I love it!

Andrew also got a chance to run the bases after the game. I wasn't sure if he would actually do it because the parents aren't allowed to go with them. He did it!! It was one of those proud Mommy moments. He looked like such a big boy! I almost lost it. I just can't believe how fast he is growing up. Here is a video of it. He is the little guy in the red shirt.
