little cocoon

I will have to take a picture sometime of Lucas and how I get him to nap during the day.  There was a period of time around 4-5 months where Lucas was fighting daytime naps.  A dear friend of mine offered to show me a swaddling technique where you just swaddle the arms down by his side.  Lucas has this need to flap his arms like he's going to take off flying OR making snow angels.  It's cute but it keeps him wide awake.  I call this swaddling technique the "straight jacket swaddle."  Hilarious.

This morning, Lucas decided to fight sleep a little more than usual.  It took me 30 minutes to get him to go to sleep but that was almost 2 hours ago so well worth it.  He'll wake up happy and in a good mood and we'll head to Wild Oats to pick up some things.  He's a joy.

Lucas had his 6 month checkup yesterday and was 16 lbs and 8 oz.  He was 27 inches long.  What a big boy!  He did very well with his vaccines which I was proud of.  I decided to not do the flu vaccine but Jeff and I will get the Flumist.  Hopefully that'll help.
