8 month old baby Lucas

I'm a little late...again. Sorry baby Yucas!!! We really do love you JUST as much as the others! ;)

Health - We have had a hard hard month or so. He's had a tough time handling tylenol, antibiotics, my top 8 free milk I had saved, etc. We are down to no meds but his reflux ones and no food but his formula. He had an ear infection so no pain killers was hard. Poor buddy. We are waiting to hear from the Aerodigestive Clinic at PCH and get a scope hopefully scheduled to see exactly what is going on inside of his little tummy. He has also slowed quite a bit on his weight gain. Waiting to see if that's all normal, or related. He also had a few sandifer syndrome episodes this month. It was really difficult and scary to watch. I'm glad he's ok and it was just something reflux related.

Schedule -
730- wake and meds (he room shares with Landon and they are often up at 645/7) 
8- 7 oz bottle 
830- 40 mins pnp time 
930- nap
11- wake, get brother from PS 
1145/12- 6 oz bottle 
2- nap
4/430- wep 6 oz bottle 
530/6- snack bottle and feeding therapy activities (oral stim, feeding formula off spoon, etc) 
7- bath, Jammie's, bottle (8 oz)and in bed by 730

Eating- Well, I talked about it a good bit already. He's eating a good amount of formula (27-30 oz) and nothing else. But he takes his bottles well most days and I'm so thankful for that! 

Growth - Lucas is definitely our biggest baby! We had a physical therapy evaluation because our SLP said she thought something was "off". The PT told us he is very muscular and will probably be a football player or pole vaulter or something of the sort. He is certainly built more like my family is than our other two. He's in 9-12 month clothes and they seem to all fit really well. He's still in size four diapers and we are trying to rid of the overnight diapers this week since we ran out. We will see how it goes! He has SIX teeth now and I believe he's working on another one. 

Changes - He's been changing SO much the last month or so! He is saying Bubba and Dadda all day long. He rolls his tongue and clicks it too. It's so funny! He is now crawling, pulling up, cruising all over while holding on and even tried standing alone today!! I cannot believe how big he's gotten! He's in to everything and makes giant messes all over the house. He loves to throw all his stuff out of his crib and then cry about it. Turkey! :) 

Likes - He loves chewing on a paci in the day, his siblings, his bottles, being out and seeing people, his family, his lovey, bathtime, our dogs.

Dislikes - loud/sudden noises, the Ergo, Pack n play time, sleeping in, getting his diaper changed, teething, taking medicine. 

Oh baby Lucas! I cannot believe you are going to be a big brother! What on earth?! You are so fun and relatively chill when you're not in pain. We are so thrilled you joined our family. You are a hilarious little turkey and we love you to pieces.
