Baby Luca is 10 Weeks!

Thursday, March 25, 2010

Today is my 32nd birthday and Luca's 10 week birthday. He is the best birthday present that I could've ever gotten. I love watching him grow. I am now able to get him to smile for me, which is so awesome because he has the cutest dimples. Luca went through a fussy period, where I wasn't able to put him down without him crying, but now, he is getting past that. However, he does get fussy when he has gas. He still has all of his hair, and to be honest with you, I don't think he has lost any of it. I haven't found any of it laying around in his bed. I just can't believe how much he has grown. He is now starting to fit into 3 month clothing. Every day I have to pack a piece of clothing away that he could no longer wear. It kind of makes me a little sad :-(

9 Weeks and Going Backwards...What's Up With That?

Thursday, March 18, 2010

So I know that the baby is going through a growth spurt, and that is the reason for his schedule disruption. But, it is pure torture to make someone think they are going to be getting more sleep, and then it is just swept away from them. Luca was doing so good with his sleep patterns. He was going to bed around 10:00 p.m., and then sleeping through until about 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. Now he decided to throw Max and I through a loop and wake up around 1:30 a.m. for the past several nights. I keep telling myself every night 'this is going to be the night he gets back on schedule.' WRONG! It hasn't happened yet.

Two Month Pictures

Heavy "L"

Today, Luca is 8 weeks and one day. We had his two month check-up and shots. So Max and I decided to throw a little bet on how much the baby weighed and how tall he was.

Me: "My guess is 10 pounds 8 ounces and 23 inches long. The reason for my guess was because infants gain about one pound a month."

Max: "My guess is 11 pounds 4 ounces and 24 inches long."

Me: "Are you kidding me; he does not weigh that much."

Nurse: "He is 12 pounds 3 ounces."

Max and I in unison: "Holy sh**...oh we didn't mean to swear. "

Me: "But he was only 9 pounds 4 ounces less than a month ago."

Me to the nurse: "Do you think he will be obese when he is older?"

Nurse (in her mind): "Um...shut up you weird freak!"

Anyways, he is perfectly normal. He is 12 pounds 3 ounces and in the 67 percentile. He is 23 inches long and in the 57 percentile. His head 33 centimeters and in the 14 percentile. Luca also got his shots today. It was hard for Max and I to watch him cry after the nurse jabbed him with the needle. Just kidding...she did it very gently.

Big Boy

Today Luca is 7 weeks and 3 days, and he rolled over for the first time. We were by my parents house for Sunday dinner. I put the baby in the middle of the carpet on his tummy, and while we were all sittling there watching him, he just rolled from his tummy to his back. It was so awesome to see that for the first time, and everyone else was happy to see it as well. He is such a big boy!
