{at 5 months...}

Me and Lukka are both very sick with a freak cold... He turned 6 months last Friday, and on the same day "acquired" his first cold. It's breaking my heart to listen to his little coughs and wheezy breathing, please pray for a quick recovery (for both of us!)


So, with any further ado, here's what little Lukka accomplished this past month.


At 5 months, Lukka...

... weighs 22 lbs 8 oz (taken at home).


... is still wearing 12 months clothing (hooray!).


... is still wearing large AIO and fitteds, and unsnapped one-size diapers (what will he wear next??).


... started sleeping for 6-8 hour stretches depending on the day. Slept for 10 hours straight 4 days in a row, OH BLISS!


... is still being exclusively breastfed. Planning on starting solids at 6 or 7 months.


... sits by himself! Still takes an occasional tumble, but is doing pretty good.

... puts E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G in his mouth, bites with passion, but no teeth yet.


... is addicted to cups. Can't see a cup without wanting to hold it, lick it, analyze it.


... has amazing strength! His legs are chubby, but don't let them fool you! Once he gives you a good kick you'll understand...


... never wears shoes. Of any sort. Nothing fits his chubby feet.


... loves to moan and complain, doesn't like to be left alone. Is definitely a mama's boy!


... is getting more adorable and funny.

We love you baby!

{at 4 months...}

Friday Lukka turned 5 months, so I'm posting his 4 months update. I decided to post his monthly updates after the whole month has passed, this way I can write about all the new little things he did while he was at a specific month.


So, at 4 months Lukka...

{at 3 months...}

I wasn't blogging yet on the 1 month and 2 months updates, so here we go, starting at 3. He turns 4 months in less than 10 days, so I'll post another update pretty soon.


So, at 3 months Lukka...

 ... weighs 17 lbs 14 oz. (taken at the doctor's appointment).


... wears 6-9 month clothing (but getting tighter and tighter pretty fast).


... wears most of his one-size cloth diapers on the medium setting.


... wears a minky blueberry one-size diaper, fully unsnapped with a microfiber insert and two hemp prefolds as inserts for night time (pretty bulky).


... no longer uses prefolds and covers (his pee is pretty acid, so he can't stay wet or else he gets red all over. i'm going to make some stay-dry fleece liners for him.


... is almost outgrowing his all-in-one ragababe diapers size Medium.


... drools constantly, everywhere, on anyone! (but especially on me!).


... is in love with his fingers. either has them in his mouth, or is licking them, or looking at them fascinated.


... is a talker. he is never silent. he's always "aahh"ing or "uhh"ing or saying "éu, éu, éu".


... laughs his toothless smile every time he wakes up and I say "bom dia!" (no matter what time it is).


... laughs pretty hard when we tickle his ribs.


... was sleeping 8 hours every night, but went back to waking up every 4 hours. :o(


... only goes to sleep at 1 or 2 am, no matter what we try or do. He's an owl.


... has to have attention ALL THE TIME! (I blame it on the full house! in a week everyone will be gone, and I'll be in trouble!)

He's getting chubbier, and cuter, and more adorable!

Love you baby Lukka!!!!
