Man this kid can eat. He must take after his Dad's side of the family, I have heard a few of the Matters (Opa, Uncle Kyle, Dad) can eat their fair share and then some.
Today alone he has had 3 breast feeds, 2 formula feeds (250ml each), 3 ice cubes of pear, an entire piece of toast, 2 ice cubes of mashed potatoe, 3 ice cubes of broccoli, and a piece of apple to suck on. Most likely he will get up tonight as well for a little midnight snack. Where does he put it all?
He is growing though we have officially moved out of 0 - 3 month clothes and have moved into the big size of 3 - 6 month which is not all that big considering he is almost 7 months old and I still have to roll up the sleeves and pants legs so he is able to use his feet and hands to do stuff. It has been sad to see some of my favourite outfits put into the 'too small box' but we have so much cute stuff that I am excited to get him wearing.
He continues to change almost daily - today he decided that kicking is his new thing and tries to kick while he is sitting, that has resulted in a few bumps on his head as he is not able to steady himself at the same time. Good times in the bath though! He is a slippery little sucker.
Lots of talking going on lately but no words as of yet he almost sounds like he says yum but it really is more of a moan than anything. We have been playing lots of peek a boo while he absolutely loves - giggles and giggles like crazy, apparently I have a pretty funny face, hopefully that doesnt start to affect my self esteem.
He is still struggling to nap during the day but things are changing he almost is dropping a morning nap but is not quite able to make the whole time so he gets a little grumpy but soon enough I think he will be down to one morning nap and 2 afternoon naps.
We will see though. It seems as soon as I write things on the BLOG and tell about him he changes his ways. So maybe I should be using a bit of reverse psychology here and saying how he is not sleeping, not rolling, not reaching, etc, etc - we will see if it works.
Speaking of reaching he is reaching for lots of his toys but doesn't like to go too far because he knows he will fall over and he doesnt like to lie down so he tries his best to stay sitting as long as he can, sometimes curiosity gets the better of him but mostly he is stubborn and waits it out until Mom comes around and helps him out, he really has me wrapped around his little finger, one of these days that will have to change but I just can't resist him he is so cute.
Lots of kids in coffee group have started the backwards shuffle while laying on their tummy's and ending up in all kinds of interesting places, Lucas not so much. Every time he lays on his tummy he rolls over to his back instead - not his cup of tea. It would be nice for him to reach that stage in development when he can move but am also happy that for now our house does not have to be in lock down mode - soon enough.
Started to make a list of things we will need for Lucas when we come home at Christmas time - hard to imagine a snow suit and boots for the little man. Looked around here but Auckland's version of a snow suit is a full fleece sleeper type thing - that is not going to cut it, silly Aucklanders have no idea what winter is all about. Actually I feel that I have forgotten a little as well, could be a big shock for me - still looking forward to it though.
