The 5th Month Checkup

Lucien is now....oh no!  I lost track.  The full time job and and motherhood has finally caught up to me.  Lucien is in his 5th month and it's time to change to month to month updates.  We went to the doctor last week and he weighs in at 16 lbs. 14 oz.  and is 27 inches tall.  Everybody kept commenting on how big he had gotten and some of the nurses said he was about the size of a 9 month old.  He got a shot and we got the green light to go ahead with solid food starting with bananas...yum!

The Week of Easter Eggs

Lucien is now 21 weeks old and just about 5 months old.  Happy Easter Lucien!  It's your first Easter weekend and we had fun coloring Easter Eggs all day.  At 5 months Lucien is now going to bed by 8:00pm without any fuss.  Although he's still waking up at midnight and about 3 am every night.  He's been eating rice cereal in the morning and this  week we are adding it to his evening routine.  He'll get the slop twice a day to get him geared up for regular food at 6 months.  Lucien loves his Daddy and has lots of fun playing with him.  Mommy can already foresee many practical jokes to be played on her once Lucien is running around.    

The Week of Extremity Discovery

Lucien is now 20 weeks old and he has discovered his hands and feet.  He really enjoyed sucking on his hands in the past but now he stares at his fingers as if Mommy has slipped some hallucinogens in his milk.  He's rolling around like a champ and will never be able to be left alone on the changing table again.  His high pitched squeals are starting to turn into hysterical he-he-he laughter.
