I just love him.

10 months and 2 weeks!

Cooking! Like father, like son!


Check out those pants. such style!



Okay, so seriously, this kid is AWESOME!! I think I love him too much. Is that possible? Holy cow.

Phwew, now that I got that out of the way....


Mr. Guy's top teeth are making their way out into the world. Mostly at night, since that is when he really likes to wake up and remind us that the teeth are coming. Usually between the hours of 2:00 and 5:00. AM, people! The fact that I am even noting that he wakes up in the night now reminds me how lucky I am to have such a (normally) great sleeper. I can't even imagine if he were still waking up often in the night. I have a new-found love of sleep!

Lucas is really getting around these days, he is holding on to anything he can get his hands on to scoot around the room. His other favorite pastime is eating dirt when he is sure you cannot see him. (Or when you are looking right at him...see video for proof! Also, while he is crawling around on the floor, he loves to scan the floor for delicious, mysterious things to eat that might have gotten past the old-timers. (That's Ben and I, by the way) The funniest thing is that when he sees an item, the little scamp takes off so fast and some times I can catch him when he is just about to cram said item into his mouth. Well, he is no dummy, and has learned to fake me out. He crawls OVER the item, and when his mouth is hovering over the morsel, he flings his arms and legs out and just drops his face right on top of whatever it was he is trying to eat. What an animal!



Today we went to a baby gym class at the YMCA. I am sorry to inform the other parents there that Lucas was both cuter and smarter than their children. I can't lie, people!

Hmmm, what else? Oh, the teeth! So, the top teeth are coming in, but here is the funny part! They aren't the top front teeth! He is getting his canines in first. My little vampire baby! Looks like the Twilight phase is hitting the infant set as well, right? Don't worry, he is still gorgeous!

In other news, I cut my hair really short and I really like it. I would have taken a photo to show you, but who wants to see my haircut when they could see this kid?


Just in case you think these videos are the same, they aren't. In one, Lucas is not wearing a hat, in the other, no hat. In one, he doesn't eat dirt, and in one, he shoves a whole handful of dirt right on in his mouth. I promise I got all the dirt out of there after I put the camera down. Seriously. All of it.

Check this out!

Happy Easter, everyone!

You won't believe your eyes when you see this little guy on the move. Becky and Matt lent Lucas this great toy to help him get around, and as you can see in the video, he does get around.

He even stood up on his own for about 10 seconds each time the other day. He is loving doors these days (cheap date) and can spend lots of time opening and closing them way too many times to keep me interested. And then he'll decide to just crawl out the door without even looking back. He is not afraid of anything!



Lots of love from the West Coast!
