This is my first Mother's day and although I have only been a Mom for six and a half months, being a Mother is the absolute best job in the whole world. I never expected to feel the instant, deep, unconditional love that I feel for Lucas. He brings our lives so much joy. I am so entirely blessed that I get to stay home with my Son and watch him change every moment before my eyes. This video was taken about a month ago and I just love dancing with my baby.
It doesn't matter how many times a night I have to get up to make sure he is okay, every time I have to go into his room in the middle of the night, I get to give him one more kiss.
It doesn't matter how goofy I act, if I can make him laugh, I will act as silly as I possibly can. His laugh is the absolute best sound in the world to me.
It doesn't matter how many hours I spend with Lucas a day, when someone wants to hold him, I always immediately want him back. :)
I love the way he gets tired and rest his head on my shoulder. I love the way he smiles when I sing to him. I love the way he kicks his hands and feet when I go to get him up in the morning. I love the way he hits my face when I am feeding him. I love the way he laughs at stupid things I do. I love the way he looks at his daddy with the biggest smile on his face. I love the way he wants to sit on the floor next to Dodge. I love the way he loves to be outside. I love how shy he gets when he sees himself in the mirror and turns his head into my neck to hide. I love the way he hates being on his tummy and immediately rolls to his back with the biggest smile like "I did it". I love the way everyone says, "wow, he is such a serious baby," but I know how truly happy he is at home.
I love everything about you, sweet baby Lucas.
Love, Your Mama!

I started working for Bill and Patti when I was 15 and I have stayed in touch with them for twelve years. Casey and I got to work there together when we were in college, which was so much fun. Every year, Bill puts on a Cinco De Mayo Party for his Birthday. This year, he decided to get a pig for the party...wow! 
Lucas is doing great. His weight was pretty low at our Doctor's appointment. He was not even 16 pounds. So we are now at three solid meals a day. He has been doing pretty good. He is sitting up on his own and he can get on all fours, but no crawling yet. He has been sleeping much better too, especially with his naps. We are working on weaning him from the multiple feedings at night, which is going pretty slow. Other than that our serious little man is soooo happy. Here is a video of him laughing that might bring a smile to your day!
