My Sweet Little Piano Player

Music to My Ears: I think he looks really good at the Piano, what do you think, Casey?

A New Way to Tan

Carrot Tanning Lotion: It has been a little too warm for Lucas to go outside and lay in the sun, so he invented a new way to tan. He wipes his carrots all over his face and hair and tummy and hopes that when we are done he will have a beautiful orangeish glow. :) Wow, how long does this phase last. Good thing the weather is supposed to cool down...we can go back outside and tan the right way.

We Missed You Aunt Erin

Uncle James got to meet Lucas! He was even able to come to Lucas' swim lesson. We are hoping that James and Erin get to come over to Seattle in October to hang out with us! Lucas has been asking for Erin to come and play with him! :) We miss you both and can't wait to hang out with you in a couple of months. It has been way too long since we got stuck in the snow outside of our house in the back alley and James and Casey had to push us out. Probably shouldn't be driving a Honda Accord in two feet of snow! We had a lot of fun with you! :) We can't wait to see you again!

Our Little Mover at 9 1/2 Months

Crawling:

Climbing the Stairs:

Walking:

Everything happened so fast. I used to go to play groups with other babies his age and they would be rolling around, crawling, scooting, cruising...and Lucas always just sat in one spot and never really moved. He figured out how to crawl around July 19th and he took his first steps on August 11th. He is getting more and more confident and I would imagine that he will be walking on his own in a few short weeks.

Buns

Avery and Lucas: Can you guess which buns belong with which baby?

The Little Things

This is one of my favorite video's of Lucas. The door stopper has been one of those fixations he has had while he has been crawling around in wonder. This particular day, his fascination with the sound and movement of this door stopper had us both giggling!
