Crazy

Look at this crazy boy! This was in mid-June. It was right before bath time, hence the 'naked'ness. :)

Our Family

I will never forget these daily open-mouthed kisses. I especially love the unprompted ones. :)

The Boys

Lucas is playing with a truck that was Pat's when he was little :)

Stair Climber

Lucas loooves to climb the stairs. In fact, if the gate is not up at the bottom of the stairs, he'll race up there at every chance he gets. This was recorded in early June, so he is much faster now!

New Bite

Our CD of pictures from our family photo shoot has finally arrived! Slowly, but surely I hope to put some up on here. Stay tuned. I can't say when, but hopefully soon.


I just love this one of our sweet, sweet boy. Makes me melt inside.

Sigh. Just look at that face.

...and now take a look! Nathan the vampire was at it again!

Very sad.

I wish my good camera wasn't sick. I'm missing out on some good shots! Anyway, this last picture pretty much summed up Luc's afternoon. After a fabulous 3 hour nap, he had some lunch and was bitten right after he got out of the highchair. It was all downhill from there. Nathan went down for a nap and Lucas decided to race around on the his truck. He ran over his foot and wailed. He drove head first into the table and wailed. He now has a red mark from that on his eyelid. Once Nathan was up they were racing around and somehow Lucas got a cut on his heel. What an afternoon for my munchkin. He was so ready for bed by 6:30 and he just crashed.

I don't take back anything I said on last night's blog though :) He's such a little character. I just felt so bad for all the problems he suffered with today. Let's hope for a better today tomorrow!

Learning to Walk!

Guess who's finally deciding to test out walking?!? Well, along with climbing on EVERYTHING, chairs, couches, toy piano's, toy parking garage's, etc. I only have the walking video though! :) Enjoy!

Evening Dip

Ahh, I love the days when Lucas takes an afternoon nap. He gets to have dinner with us, and usually enjoy an after-dinner walk as well. He is so much fun at this age, it's great to be able to spend a tiny portion of the evening with him. It's a nice way to end the day when he's super happy.

Bedtime has also become so easy, it is a breeze 99% of the time. No fuss, no tears, just lights out for the entire night. Lovely. :) And that I've just announced that the world, it'll probably drastically change overnight....
(Update: As I am finishing up this post, after 1 hour of sleep, I can now hear Lucas doing gymnastic upstairs. LOUD gymnastics. No voice as of yet though. I really, really hope I didn't jinx things.)

Lucas is making new and exciting discoveries each day and we love to watch him take it all in. We especially enjoy the squeals of delight when playing tug of war with Finnegan, the giggles, the cheesy smiles, the kisses...and all the other fun stuff he does.
He loves to COPY everything he sees and hears....I 'sighed' the other day and he's been doing it ever since.
A new discovery...watching the dogs eat dinner. We realized tonight that Lucas has never really seen the dogs eat out of their dishes! Sure, he sees them grab a piece of kibble here and there, and have some water...but he's never really watched them eat dinner.

And boy was he fascinated! "What'cha got there, Lucie?"

I took Lucas in the backyard after dinner instead of walking...since we're having a heatwave :) After playing in the grass for a few minutes, I decided to take out the pool toys so I could rinse the pool out for tomorrow....

...and look who decided to jump in!!!

So what the heck...jumper off and here's your bath for the day...minus the soap!

That was one heavy diaper after getting out! :)

Soup, anyone?

(On a side note...the picture quality may be compromised for the next few weeks. I'm back to my old camera. The reason...my Nikon, ahem, may have taken a leap off the table outside yesterday. *GASP* Very minor damage I believe, but nonetheless will be likely be shipped out in the mail for a visit to the Hospital for a small surgery. :(
