Mister Crab

Mister crab. That is shirt I dressed Lucas in today. I took these pictures before I dressed him, but it was the appropriate t-shirt for today.
The morning went as per usual, but after his nap he was a complete wreck. SCREAMING and crying, banging on the shower door when I was in it, and once I was out he was gasping and quivering from all the hard crying. As soon as I put him down, it all started up again. He didn't want to do anything, play with anything, etc. The only thing that would stop him from crying was if he was in my arms. Very strange. It wasn't just tears, it was panic-stricken craziness.
He has had a fever (teething) the past couple days, so he's not quite himself, but today was like nothing I've ever seen before. I felt so bad for him because there was nothing more I could do for him.

A moment of quiet between tears. "Just me and my snotty nose from crying"

"Or should I cry again?"

Maybe not.

Yep, still grumpy.

And grumpier.

Clearly not happy. This was his face for a good couple of hours.

Waa. Poor little peanut.

At least he is happily sleeping now :)

Speedy

In a matter of days, Lucas has become a speed demon on his dumptruck! This morning, I turned around, and when I looked back, he had hopped on and took off at top speed!Right after I shut the camera off, he waved!

New Fun

I love to stand now! You can catch me standing a lot! One of my favourite new things is emptying out this drawer...several times a day. Just try and stop me.

I also like to climb on the couch. I'm not very good at it yet, but I certainly try. Here I am on Saturday morning trying to get my Mommy's birthday present!

...and then I opened it for her. I'm very good at opening presents.

I'm also very good at getting on my truck all by myself...and driving it forward and backward too!

It was another rainy afternoon, so my Mommy took me swimming! We haven't been since November!!! I was kinda grumpy when she took this picture, but booooy did I have fun swimming! There was a cute "after" picture of me in my t-shirt eating goldfish crackers...but then my Mommy realized it was x-rated and she tries not to put those pictures on the Internet! It's also too bad you can't see the back of my swimming shorts....a shark's mouth!

FOURTEEN Months Old!

Ok, so I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep doing the monthly photos...'cause perhaps it might be silly to have a 56 month old photo session....but I did it today anyway!

What did we do to celebrate? We had another smoothie of course! He LOVES them...and slurps them back faster than anything else he eats/drinks!

Growing, growing, growing. He's got a lot of new skills to share with you...but they are hard to document, so be patient people, it's coming soon. :)
(Note his big toe. That, people, is what happens when you decide to skip the shoes when going for a 'drive' in the little car. He would NOT stop dragging his foot, resulting in holes in the socks and a bloody toe. Now, the question is, what shoes do I put on him for next time? He has rather pricey shoes to be dragging face down on the cement. I guess his toes are worth more though...)

"Weeeeeeeeeeee."

Happy, Happy!

Upside down boy!

"I am this big!!!"

The Boy Who Wakes Up With The Birds

Can someone tell this child that 5:30am is far too early to wake up? We've been trying different bed times, but they all seem to result in the same wake-up time...sigh.

It's a good thing he's cute!

Who gets up with the birds....to read library books!?!

This was yesterday. The Boy Who Discovered Floss....and wasn't too thrilled with it for long!

Last Week

Gasp, a whole week gone by again with no blog. How rude of me! Sorry, there are no 'stellar' photos this time, but I thought you people might like something.

There's nothing like a carpet rash.

Crusin' around on his big rig.
Note the excessive drool from making truck noises.

Loves to go backwards...even though he does have a look of terror on his face. He was actually having fun though! :)

Practice, practice. I prefer the practising to happen once the bowl is empty though!

Goofball.

I leave the room for 20 seconds and there he was...and then all set to do a faceplant right after I took the photo!

Lucas finally enjoys standing! You can find him doing this almost all day long. He is standing up at everything now.

Sneak Peek!

Who wants a sneak peek of what we did on Sunday?
This was our preview, the rest will come on a disc in the mail. I can't WAIT! :)
Enjoy!
