Our sweet baby Luke is now 6 months old! We can't believe that half a year has already gone by! He continues to be a very sweet, joyful, angel baby. This last month he changed a lot with the biggest achievement being that he is now sleeping through the night for about 12 hours straight with no feedings! One day he just suddenly decided not to take the dream feed anymore and that was it! I had heard babies could do this but until having Luke, wasn't convinced it was true! ;) Daniel only slept through the night consistently without a dream feed close to one year of age... Anyway, so that makes things a lot easier; now I just have to learn how to sleep through the night again myself!
We just started yesterday giving him "breakfast" and so he is now eating solids twice a day. His favorites so far are: sweet potato, butternut squash and banana. He also eats avocado, green beans, pears, apples, and oat cereal. Tonight he will be trying zucchini/courgette for the first time and peas, mango and carrots are next on the list! He eats a lot in the evening which I think explains why he can now sleep through the night. I have so enjoyed making all his food and deciding on what to try next! I spend a lot of time at weekends cooking, pureeing and freezing foods for him. Now to the best part, his 6 months photos:

| He loves keeping his tongue out. |
 |
| He still flops forward when trying to sit, but he is getting stronger. |
 |
| Luke is much better at grabbing things now and bringing them to his mouth! |
 |
| Starting to push up! |
 |
| Awwww!! |
 |
| Luke's first "breakfast!" |
We love you so much sweet Luke! Still amazed that we get to have you in our family; thank you God!

ReplyDeleteAninha-Jonny,
I cannot stop thinking of Lukinho. I tell Stephen about it and I repeat over and over again how much love I feel for him. When Stephen sees me smiling (out of the blue) he just guesses who is in my day-dream! He knows already that - it is Lukinho - who brings me so much joy and happiness. Isn´t this wonderful? The distance cannot make me live my days without Lukinho in my mind. Thank God! I am so lucky to have the beautiful pictures that you post for me "matar a saudade dele". I just thank God for this special and smiling baby who is the gift from heaven for our family. Please kiss him for me while I prepare my suitcase to fly to hug and kiss him in US very soon."Que vozinha apaixonada!" Praise God for it! Cheers. Vozinha in Portugal.
