Luke nurses every 1.5-2.5 hours during the day. He has a longer stretch of 3-4 hours with his afternoon nap and will cluster feed first thing in the mornings and in the evenings. At night he has one long stretch between feeds (6-9.5 hours) and then a shorter stretch of 3.5-5.5 hours.
Luke sleeps 13-15 hours in a 24 hour period. At night he will sleep 6-9.5 hours straight! Most of the time he will go right back to sleep after nursing in the night but lately he wants to tell me stories after nursing. Thankfully he can wear himself out playing in the middle of the night. He takes a morning and afternoon nap. Naps last between 1.5-3 hours. If he takes a long morning nap then his afternoon nap will be shorter. Most days the boys are on the same afternoon nap schedule so that allows me to take a nap, too! He will take a shorter nap in the late afternoon and is in bed by 2000.
Here are tidbits from this month:
- Weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces
- Wears 6 months clothes and moving into a size 2 diaper
- Started drooling
- His hair is growing back in where he lost it on the very top of his head (from sleeping on his tummy)
- In the mornings and after naps, Luke will be up for about 1.5 hours before getting tired. During this time, he goes to his stations (exersaucer, gym, bumbo, boppy). He lasts about 15 minutes before he is ready for another station!
- Started noticing the TV and loves looking at lights
- He has found his hands and can grasp toys. He also loves to knead my shirt when nursing and sometimes pinches.
- Luke is quite the social one. He loves to talk and will just listen and respond when spoken to
- The girls love to hold him, he tolerates it for a few minutes!
