Two Months Old!

Lucas is smiling and cooing:) He has THE BEST smile! He loves to chat with Cole every morning. They lay on my bed and make noises back and forth. Cole is always saying to me, "look at him mommy, look at him", like he is just the cutest thing he has ever seen. Oh, my boys! Lucas weighed in at a whopping 12lbs. 12 oz. at his 8 week check up. He's in the 75 percentile on just about everything. He's just a little behind Cole:) Cole has been in the 95 percentile his whole life! Luke is definitely chunking up and I love it! His head is still so tiny though. I think I just compare it to how HUGE Cole's head was (and is). Cole for sure got my head and Lucas was lucky enough to get his daddy's petite head;) Luke us still trying to adjust to sleeping more during the night but he gave me 6 hours and then 7 hours two nights in a row over the weekend! I really needed that to catch up a bit. I am so much more patient when I get a few more hours of sleep. It is definitely harder to have a schedule for your new kid when he is #2. Cole only takes one nap, so we are pretty good about getting him down for that like clock work but trying to set nap times for Luke is ridiculous. If he does fall asleep, it is rare that I can lay him down and he continues sleeping, and if I do get him to stay asleep, Cole eventually wakes him up with some insanely loud noise:) Lucas is a trooper though:) He's a very happy baby as long as he is fed, changed, and not gassy. Just about perfect;) He is changing every day and I love that he is becoming more and more interactive with me and Cole. Cole has figured out that when mommy is busy feeding Luke, he can get away with pretty much anything until she's done. Today I found him in the pantry pouring garlic salt into an empty coffee pot and he ripped open a cup o' noodle and was eating the freeze dried veggies inside! I love him to death! He drives me crazy, daily! He is a wonderful big brother!!!

One month old :)

I meant to write this...well...one month ago:) It's super hard to find the time these days. At 4 glorious weeks old, Little Lucas was starting to fidget less and actually make some eye contact. He didn't really start to smile for reals until 6 weeks but once he did...ooh he's just as precious as they come. Cole was still adoring the crap out of him. I love that I can count on Luke to make Cole happy, no matter what kind of mood Cole wakes up in from his nap:) Sometimes he will wake up and just be cranky as ever and when we round the corner and he sees that his brother is awake, he just lights up! "Baby Luke awake too Mommy!" His bad mood is forgotten and he smothers his brother with more kisses than I can count:) They melt my heart daily with their sweetness. I can't wait for Luke to get big enough to interact with Cole a little more. I think they will be the best of friends. Everyday, Cole tells me that "Baby Luke is getting bigger" and that he wants him to "play toys with me Mommy!" Although I am enjoying this tiny baby stage a big part of me can't wait for Cole to have a constant little companion:)
