Lukie at Four Months

This is Lukie today. I can't get over how fast he's growing. You know, those first few weeks seemed to just eek by. Now the time is flying. I can't believe he'll be four months on Sunday. There are so many changes happening on a weekly basis. He's quite adept at rolling over now. If you lay him on his back, it's virtually guaranteed that when you look at him 30 seconds later, he will be on his stomach. He rolls onto his stomach to sleep now. If he can't get there due to the tightness of his swaddle, he'll settle for lying on his side. It's really cute.

Some not-so-cute things he's doing: waking up every two hours. Last night he went to bed at 8:20pm. Then he woke up at 12:30am, 2:30am, 4:30am, 6:20am, and 9am. We can't seem to figure out how to get him to sleep soundly at night. He will go 6 hours without eating for the first stretch. Of course, the earlier we put him down, the more time that he is sleeping while we're awake. And then he wakes up only a couple of hours after we go to sleep.

And he talks so much now. He's always jabbering away. And lately he's been doing this kind of gagging cough. I've been wondering what it is. It may be talking, but I also suspect that his fluffy "sheet" on his play yard is getting fuzz in his mouth, since he wakes up with fuzz stuck to his face from slobbering.
