Well, here we are at 4 months!! Little Lucas isn't so little anymore. He really was only little his first month and then he became the giant baby that he is now. We had our four month appointment on Thursday and everything is going great!! He is 19lbs 10oz and 27 1/4 in!! His weight, height, and head are all above the 98th percentile!! The Dr said that he is just a big baby. Big is right because Andrew wasn't this size until he was 6 months old. Lucas had two shots and did pretty well. He was pretty fussy the rest of the day. The Dr said we can start rice cereal and baby food. Be on the look out for a rice cereal post. I think I am going to hold off on the baby food for a little bit. At the beginning of the month he switched to eating 5 times a day which is great!! He eats 6 oz at each feeding.
Lucas has done some exciting things this past month. First thing is he started rolling over!! He rolls from his belly to his back. He is so strong on his tummy now. He does very well sitting supported. He has also been spending some time in his exersaucer in the last few weeks. He loves his brother!! He is always wanting to see what Andrew is doing and loves it when Andrew talks to him. He also loves Peek A Boo!! His laugh is so cute!! I love hearing it.
He is still in 6-12 month or 9 month size clothing!! He will probably be able to wear some of Andrew's 12 month winter clothes this winter! Crazy!! He is now in size 3 diapers. I wish my baby boy would slow down a little in the growing department! I feel like I have a 9 month old but he is only 4 months. Here are some cute pictures from the last month.

| Andrew is such an amazing big brother!! |
 |
| Already sitting in his brother's chair. |
 |
| This little guy is an amazing sleeper!! He sleeps solid through the night and doesn't get up until about 7:45 or 8:00. When he does wake up he is happy to just lay in his crib until someone comes to get him. Naps are still random throughout the day. |
 |
| Lucas and Alissa!! So cute! |
 |
| Another fun fact about Lucas is that he doesn't take a paci. This is all new to me because Andrew LOVED his paci. Lucas does love eating his fingers. He also loves to hold his hands over his face when eats. He likes to hold on to blankies or his burp cloths. |
 |
| Lucas and Ty |
 |
| Love those eyes!! |
 |
| Already a colts fan! |
 |
| Lucas has started holding toys. He loves to hold the little rings in his hands and stare at them. |
 |
| That smile and those cheeks get me every time!! |
 |
| The most exciting news from this past month has to be that his hair is growing back!!! |
