Six Months

Luke is six months old!

Weight: 19 pounds, 15.6 ounces (87%)

Height: 28 inches ( 92%)

Head: 46 centimeters (100%)

He is almost the exact size that his big brother was at this point.

It's just getting more and more fun with this big guy! 

Luke tried lots of new food this month: bananas, pears, avocados, sweet potatoes, peas and carrots.  Peas were the only ones that caused a bit of a grumpy face, but he still ate them up.  Wow, this kid can eat.  He screams if the spoonfuls don't come fast enough, and definitely protests when it comes to putting on bibs and having his face cleaned.

He's content to see if just about anything tastes good these days, even a truck.

Luke rolls over as soon as he is put down.  He can go from his tummy to back, but will only do it in his crib.  In fact, he does all kinds of acrobat looking moves in his crib.  Despite not crawling, he sure gets around in there.

His voice and scream is growing just like everything else.  Wow, the volume and high pitch is impressive.  Luke loves his mama and sometimes shows off that scream when I leave the room.

But he makes lots of sweet sounds too, including something that sounds like 'hi' and lots of 'b' sounds. It's so fun hearing him 'talk.'

I love that he found his feet.  Talk about one of the cutest milestones.  He really can suck that big toe like it's a thumb.

And, he continues to love his brother.

Yesterday I turned around and found Noah wiping off Luke's mouth after lunch.  He did a pretty good job too.  He has started showing Luke how to do things, like how to use a spoon, race cars fast across the wood floor, and throw a ball.  He says, "Mama, I show baby Wuke." Luke loves to watch and learn from his brother, even though his body has a little catching up to do with all of those skills.
