In all the pregnancy books I read, most talked about how your growing baby is very intuned to your heartbeat and once it is born, it will find comfort in hearing it. Since Lucas and I weren't able to bond in a normal manner when he was born, I didn't think anything of this bonding technique. But over the past few months, I wonder if he still finds comfort in listening to my heartbeat. He lays on me in a very different manner than he does Marc and it is like he is positioning himself to hear my heart. If he doesn't want to do that, he at least puts one hand on my neck as if to feel my pulse. When he is really upset, if I can get him on my chest, he calms right down. As he gets bigger, I am not sure how much I will be able to support him but it is nice to know that he finds comfort in just laying on me.
As for the corn dogs, we were out with Marc's parents this weekend and Marc thought it might be good to give Lucas something other than chicken. So we ordered him a corn dog. He ate most of it. It was surprising-he gets turkey dogs at the Carriage House for lunch but I have never tried to give him a hot dog at home. My in laws were quite surprised how much he liked it! It seems like he has now tried more foods than his older cousins. After he finished his corn dog, Lucas reached over to try and grab Marc's hamburger. He managed to get the bun but nothing else.
Lucas is a standing machine now. We have been working on this with him for about 2 weeks but he hasn't consistently pulled himself up. This weekend anytime he went into the playpen he would pull himself up. And this morning when Marc got him from the crib, he was standing in there-that is a first. After I left for work, Marc said he was pulling himself up on everything. So it will be a matter of time before he is walking-what will we do then?
