Lukas - then and now...

It's been over six months since Lukas joined our little family and turned our worlds on end (in a good way, of course!). It's amazing how much he's changed in such a short while. It's amazing how two people can adjust to sleep deprivation and accept their fates so willingly. It's amazing how desensitized one person can become to poop. I've been thinking about how different life (and Lukas) is from back in the fall. For instance...

Then: Lukas weighed 5 pounds.

Now: Lukas weighs 19 pounds!


Then: Baby generally ate, slept, and pooped round the clock.

Now: Baby generally eats, sleeps, and poops round the clock, but keeps us interested by also laughing, bouncing, rolling, and sitting. Yes - watching a baby sit can be fascinating!!!


Then: Lukas only had adult friends

Now: Lukas has a vast group of friends, both big and little. In fact, he gets quite bored if he's stuck with mommy all day!


Then: Lukas liked to cry (no pictures of this...you'll have to take our word for it!)

Now: Lukas still likes to cry, but he also likes to laugh. Both are adorable.



Then: We loved him with all our hearts.
Now: We love him with all our hearts, which have grown significantly in size along with his head circumference.
