I cannot even believe that my baby is 6 months old!! Unfortunately, he had to celebrate most of his half-birthday in daycare. I left work a bit earlier than usual today to pick him up early. However, when I got there he was 15 minutes into a nap. For a while now I've been wanting to be right there when he wakes up from a nap at daycare, so I finally had my chance. For 20 minutes, I sat on the floor next to Luke's bed and watched him sleep. When he finally woke up and saw me, he had the biggest smile on his face. It was awesome. I don't know if it registered as strange with him that I was there (he always smiles when seeing me after a nap), but I'd like to believe that he thought it was a neat surprise!
I don't think you can see it in the pictures, but Luke's eyes are now... BROWN. Surely this has to mean that his hair will be brown (like David's) too! Right?!? I'm shocked at how much his looks have changed in the past 6 months. Pictures of him in the first few weeks now just crack me up. He looked like a little alien baby! Oh, but he was a cutie;)
Sleep hasn't been going so well. Like I said in my last blog, we tried the crying it out method for 4 days, but then Luke got sick so we haven't been as rigorous with it. Our new plan of attack is to feed Luke before we go to bed and see what happens. He's pretty regular with the time that he goes to sleep (7pm) and the time that he ultimately wakes up (6am). I'm not sure we should expect him to sleep and not eat for 11 hours... actually 11.5 since I feed him at 6:30pm. Yes, some babies at 6 months can do this but should I expect Luke to just because others can? He's been pretty good with getting a solid first stretch of sleep, so I've been hesitant to wake him before I go to bed. However, maybe filling his belly at 10pm will allow him to then sleep continuously until 6am. We'll see. This will either be genius or disastrous. Let's hope for the former.
Luke has been a GREAT solid food eater. He's especially cute when he eats apple sauce, because he really likes to taste it. Check it out:
