I Know, I Know

Yes, I know, it has been quite awhile since I posted last. Hopefully there are still some people checking in on the blog. Suddenly it has just seemed that I haven't had the time to update. I can't say the next month is any less busy, but we have lots going on so I should have lots to update you with so I will do my best!

What's new??? We have a tooth! Lucas cut his first tooth (bottom front). He has actually been very good considering. We actually did not even know that he was cutting a tooth (oops!). On Wally's first day home with Lucas for the summer, he calls me at work and asks Did you know Lucas has a tooth??? I was like WHAT??? I could not get home fast enough to see it. Lucas really showed no signs at all - maybe a little fussy, but honestly we didn't even think about him teething because he was showing none of the other "typical" signs. We hope we are as lucky as he continues to get more!

We have officially upgraded Lucas to a convertible car seat. Lucas is about 20 lbs. (we go to the doctor on Thursday for his 6-month well visit so we will find out for sure). The weight limit of the infant seat is 22 lbs. and it is getting WAY too heavy to carry him around in anyways and won't be safe soon enough for him to ride in anymore. We made the trip to Toys R Us today...(side note: do NOT bring Wally to this store...he thinks he is a kid again and you will end up spending way too much money!). This was also the first day that Lucas rode in the cart like a big boy! I had the "crazy mom" seat cover for him and he did very well sitting up on his own in there.

Wally's last day of school was last Monday so he is officially home with Lucas for the summer. I have to say that I am insanely jealous and on the first day I felt like Lucas was starting daycare again (although this is 1,000 times better since he is with Daddy), but the emotions I felt were pretty much the same. The extreme jealousy stems from the fact that I realized I will NEVER have 10 straight weeks home with just Lucas EVER again...that makes me sad to even type! :( But I know the two of them are going to have a GREAT time together and I am home every Friday (off every other Friday and working from home on the alternate Friday) so that helps me get through the week!

Lucas is loving all of his new foods! Honestly, we have not come across anything yet that he doesn't like. He doesn't even really makes faces when he tries a new food. He just sort of holds it in his mouth for a second realizing it is something new, and then he swallows, and opens up for more, LOL! So far his favorite seems to be sweet potatoes!

Below are some video and new pics of Luke...a lot are just randoms I have taken around the house. Oh and we got a new camera so I have just been learning how to use it and all of its capabilities! The first 2 videos are the wonderful sounds of Lucas. Wally and I are blessed to wake up to these perfect sounds. Lucas will lay in his crib for probably 20 minutes just talking to himself. We have the joy of just listening to him on the monitor. I am not a morning person by any means, but hearing him in the morning makes me a very happy person! Sometimes he screeches, sometimes he sounds like he is singing a sweet lullaby, sometimes he sounds like he is a monster or is roaring like a lion, and sometimes he is just motorboating like crazy!
