9 Weeks! Woohoo!

Hi all! I think you should all know that I have recovered from the trauma of Lucas's immunizations this week. Brutal.
But all is well. Lucas is, of course, wonderful. He is really following us with his eyes all around the room and is content in his chair or swing for chunks of time now. It is pretty fun to see him find things and get all smiley and interested. He can stare and giggle at such exciting this as....lights, a doorway, the sink... you know, all the good stuff.
He is getting to be a really cozy guy. He loves a cuddle session and really takes those great deep baby breaths and holds on tight. I just love that.
Two videos this time, I just couldn't decide which was more fun, so you can pick between this one or this one.
Toodles!

Immunization Day.

Ugh. What a terrible day. My little guy was a real trooper, I might have taken it worse than he. Just in case you were wondering, he is now 14 lbs 9 ozs of boy. That puts him in the 95th percentile. He is 24 inches long, in the 75th percentile for length. Here is a photo of his boo-boo on his chunky delicious leg.

Lucas's Latest Toy!

I just picked up this little treat for Lucas yesterday because I was getting tired of holding toys in front of him! Look at how much he loves his new toy!

8 weeks of Lucas

Oh, my word, 8 weeks! Can you stand it? This week has seen many advancements in our little guy. He has been sleeping like a champ at night. Not through the night, but some major chunks of time, and boy, do I appreciate that. Ben has gone back to work, but Lucas and I have been to Ben's work for lunch dates so Ben doesn't miss us too much.
Lucas no longer needs to use the car seat pads because he is growing so fast. He has grown into the next size of diaper. Pretty soon....college!
The best part of Lucas these days is that his alertness is astonishing. He can follow a voice and turns his head towards it, he is loving little rattles and is beginning to reach for them. He is also starting to vocalize and making little oohs and ahhs, and is starting a little giggle! Enjoy the video and photos of the week.
After noticing that Lucas has grown soooo much, I thought I would take a little measurement to let you all know just how chunky he is these days. His scrumptious thighs are now 9 inches in circumference. Isn't that shocking? Just look at the photos!
Hugs to all!
