Wow, where does the time go? Since the last post, Lucas has turned into such a big boy! Over the past six months (since the last post), Lucas has stopped using bottles, he started walking, running, dancing and climbing. He loves ALL foods, except breakfast foods. He will never turn away from fruit, but he doesn’t really like sweet foods, unless you offer him M&Ms; his favorite. He has a mouth full of teeth and gets a kick out of pretending to bite you.
He is picking up new words each day. Some of our favorites are: Happy, Shadow, Car, Night Night and Kiki (for Kayleigh). His little personality is also coming out as well as some of his interests. He LOVES playing with cars. He makes car noises and spends lot of time pushing the cars/trucks/trains (anything with wheels) around the house.
Lucas adores his big sister, Kayleigh. They are really lucky to have each other. One of his favorite things to do is wake her up in the morning. He opens her door and plows his way over to her bed. So far, she is delighted to be awakened this way. Not sure how long that will last. He then climbs up on her bed and they spend a couple moments rolling on top of each other and laughing. They both really enjoy playing together, taking baths together and going for evening family walks.
Lucas just returned from his first official vacation. We went to Michigan where he experienced the beach for the first time. He was a little unsure at first, but once he was plopped in the sand with a shovel, he had a great time. We all hope to return to the beach next summer. Despite the beach being in Michigan, it might just become our favorite vacation spot.
