Horning Happiness: NEED.HELMET.NOW.

Lucas has reached the next level of mobility....... he is now pulling himself up and cruising furniture! Unfortunately, with this new found mobility comes bruises... lots and lots of bruises. :( He is a complete hazard to himself and is constantly bonking his head.. 9 times out of 10 it's the coffee table that is to blame.. it has no sharp edges but is the PERFECT height to where he bonks his head as he crawls under and bonks his head as he crawls out. Don't ask me why but this does not stop him from crawling under it.. it's like there's some sort of magnet drawing him in. We are in the process of looking for a new table which will likely consist of several soft ottomans with no crawlspace underneath.
What else is new...He started giving five and will even wave sometimes. :) so precious. And I THINK he's starting to say Momma!!! He's been saying DaDa forEVER but today I heard him say Momma a few times.. we will see if he keeps it up.. As far as his eating and sleeping goes, that is still a huge challenge. He had a few weeks of eating GREAT and then this past week he was back to his complete disinterest in solid food. He's been seen by the doc twice in the last two weeks (first to discuss his lack of sleep and second because he was sick with a horrible cough) and the doc noted that he had lost 5 ounces between visits. This could just be because he wasn't feeling well and in turn didn't want to eat.. We back to the doc for his 9 month appointment this Thursday, so we will discuss his eating and weight again. Project plump up Lucas continues!!! Aside from his complete disinterest in eating and sleeping he is one happy, funny and active baby!!!
