Teething?

Actually, I am not sure if this is part of Lucas' teething or if this was the first time he found his tongue! I had to post these because they are pretty funny. :) He did this about a month ago and I have not seen him do it since :(

Playing in the Sheets

Making the Bed...I don't think so: Remember as a little kid how fun it was to take all four corners of a sheet, throw it up and then run underneath it while trapping the air inside? Lucas was helping me make the bed and I was trapping him along with the air underneath the sheets. He loved it! I thought I would share our fun time making the bed.

7 Months

May 26th,

I just can't believe how fast time goes by. Lucas is already seven months old! We had our weight check up today and he is doing well. He weighed 16.12oz; he is just at the 25% for his age, which is getting better. Lucas started his blabble talk about a week ago and it is awesome! It is mostly Dada dada gaga gaga baba baba...we keep trying to practice Mama mama, but he just won't spit it out yet. :)

Last weekend Casey went rafting and Lucas and I were on the porch waving bye-bye to "Daddy". We came inside and Lucas said, "Dada" I am sure it was just a coincidence, but it was so perfect.

Deception Creek Hike

5.15.10

We decided to take Lucas on a little hike at Deception Creek. Ed took these pictures of Lucas sitting in the moss! We had a great time. We found the camping spot for the kiddos first overnight camping trip.

Mommy Needs a Bib Too!

I was fully warned that this would happen so I have been waiting for him to start spitting his food at me. Well, Lucas figured it out today. Here is a video of Lucas learning how to blow his lips together with food in his mouth so it sprays EVERYWHERE!!! Enjoy. I need to go wash our clothes, now.

Learning to Clap

Since Lucas was on the low end of the chart for weight, we have been trying to encourage him to eat his solid food. Every time he takes a bite of food, we clap and cheer for him. I am pretty sure this is Lucas' attempt at clapping after I have clapped. :) He has been eating his solid foods very well, but now he is not taking breast milk or formula. He should be getting 18-40 ounces of breast milk or formula and he is getting between 5 and 15 ounces. We go into see the doctor for a weight check on the 26th of this month. I was worried about a week ago, but I am feeling much better.

Happy 2nd Birthday Dodge

May 12, 2010:

Our little puppy is two years old already. It seems like just yesterday we were picking him up in Kirkland and riding home with him in the car. I sat in the back seat and he slept on my lap the whole way home. Dodge has been such a great family dog and since Lucas, he has been so protective of us. He absolutely loves Lucas. If Lucas wakes up from his nap crying and I am downstairs, Dodge will run upstairs to his room and then stand at the top of the stairs and wait to make sure I am coming to check on Lucas. Lately, Lucas wants to play with Dodge's bones and he will take it from Dodge and then Dodge takes it back...they do this for a while!

Happy Birthday Sweet Puppy!
