Lucas 10/52

Wow, 10 weeks now. We're in the double digits! So, at Lucas' 2 month check, he could hold his head up the "normal" 45 degrees for a 2 month old plus some, but I realized that I haven't been giving him enough tummy time. That coupled with reading an article in the Hedra (a local health publication) from a physical therapist which stated that developing muscle and body coordination is fundamental to brain development and should be nurtured more than say, using a mobil over the crib. So Lucas' 9-10th week included a lot of TUMMY TIME! Here's some proof:

with some well deserved breaks thrown in there as well:

In other news, Lucas is in the 90th &95th percentile for his height and weight. Typically an infant takes 4 months to double their birth weight but not my son, he did it in 2! He's already weighing 15 pounds now. I think a good portion of which is tucked into his cheeks. They are the cutest!

Lucas is also smiling often through out the day. It is so great. He's also talking to us more and connecting with what is surrounding him. In fact, his naps in the afternoon have dwindled quite a bit because he wants to stay up to see what is going on. He had a hard time falling asleep before, and even now, he fights his own fatigue, but at least he seems to enjoy the process a little bit more.
