Just like Clara, he also loves to lay on his playmat and shake the toys that hang down. He rolled over from his back to tummy the day he turned 4 months..and hasn't done it since. He is pretty content to just stay where we put him.
We are slightly embarrassed to admit it, but he still sleeps in his carseat and swing. Seriously - we do what we need to do to survive! Our biggest challenge is he won’t nap for very long unless someone is holding him. We TRY and remember that this stage is short, but it will be nice when we have a few hours (even 30 minutes!) on the weekends when both kids are sleeping on their own. He still likes his swaddle and his paci. We’ve started a bedtime routine of a few books before he goes to sleep at night. It is so sweet to sit and snuggle and feel him relax while we read to him.
He is usually up once or twice a night for a “snuggle” from dad and up around 4 to 5 to eat with mom. That routine is working ok for us right now, as I can feed Luke at lunch and after work - less pumping and bottles! He had the dreaded "four month sleep regression" last week, but seems to be emerging on the other side.
In the last month, Luke went on his first road trip to Des Moines for the day to help Aunt Amy pick out a wedding dress. He traveled great except for the last 45 minutes when he was DONE with his car seat. Remember what I said about liking to be held? :)
We are so blessed that Luke is able to stay with Steph and his two grandmas this summer. He gets lots of one-on-one attention and they don't mind holding him when he sleeps. We are lucky to have so many people around who love our kids.
