At his 6 month check-up Luke weighed 16lbs (near 25th percentile) and was 26 1/4 inches long (just under 50th percentile). I honestly thought he would be much longer than this since he totally outgrew all his 3-6 month clothes and it already filling up a lot of his 6-9 month clothes.
Eating: We started him on solids- he LOVES to eat! No surprise- another post about that soon :) He is still breastfeeding 4 times a day.
New accomplishments: Luke can now sit up on his own! He is still a bit wobbly at times so we have to stay close or have the boppy pillow behind him. He doesn't like to do it for a long time though- usually he just wants to be in his jumperoo! He will play in the jumperoo for 30 minutes to an hour- twice a day! I have started laying him on a blanket on the floor more- trying to encourage him to roll over. He is now rolling up on his side all the time and has rolled from his back to his belly twice. He is not as big of a fan of the playmat anymore . . .
Sleep: Luke will usually take a short 30 minute to 1hour nap in the morning and then a long 2 hour nap in the afternoon. In the evenings he will still occasionally take a 20-30 minute cat nap. He goes to bed around 8:30 and gets up pretty consistently at 7:30.
Amelia is starting to "play" with Luke more now. She will bring him toys and show him how to use them. She also likes to 'help' him roll over and then she will lay on her tummy right next to him. Amelia is such a great big sister- she loves to hug him and give him kisses.
No paci for this boy- he will NOT take one for the most part. I have seen him take one for the ladies in the nursery at church but at home- nope!
