Finally....8 Months and 4 weeks...

It has just been nuts, people! I started a new job this week, closer to home, but another big change. Did I mention that the new job is a big change?! Well, it is. After getting pregnant, getting evicted, buying a house, fixing up a house, moving, having a baby, going back to work...a new job may have really done me in. I'll be alright, right?!?!

Well, enough about me, let's talk about my baby! He has two of the very sharpest teeth in town. He is doing the backward scoot and crawling in reverse which is really funny to watch when he gets stuck. His laugh is hysterical, and I really mean that. Tonight I pulled out a monkey puppet and he just couldn't stop laughing. I love that about him.

Susan and Charlie were visiting from CT this week, and we sure were lucky to have so much fun family time. Lucas got to spend lots of time with Susan, Charlie, Josh, Cashel, Christian, Anastasia, and the cousins. The cousins are teaching Lucas all sorts of things!

Here are a couple photos!

I am not kidding. I really feel a tooth this time. More later. But I think it is really on. Seriously. I am not the mom who cried teething this time.


For real.

We're baaaaaaak!

Hello everyone!
Wow, where does the time go? It has been a shamefully long time since I have posted pictures of my little person, but I promise I have been enjoying every minute of him. I can't take how much I love this kid!!!!

Ben's Dad and Sibby were out for a visit, and we sure had a great time together.

Elaine, Lucas and I made our way to Richmond to visit with the parents and to brave the winter storms. The snow was wonderful, and so was the visit. I think Lucas was a big hit. Shocker.

It was also my friend Shannon's baby shower, and I was so excited to see her cute little self and her family. I made quilts for the twins, wish I had remembered to take a picture so I could post it, but oh well. Can you stand it? TWINS! They are some lucky girls, I tell you!

So, enjoy these photos and videos. I promise to get back on the Sunday night posting schedule, for real!

I can explain...

I haven't forgotten you, dear readers!

Its just that I got a Blackberry and temporarily lost control of my life. I did find the camera today and wanted to post these two videos so you can see just how supreme Lucas is these days.

Someone loves yard work!


Standing already?!?! Cut it out!



The sweetest ride ever, thanks to Kaitlyn!

Peas are delicious!

Odds and Ends

Hi everyone,
So get this....Lucas is waving at people. I swear to you. Sort of like a flamenco arm wave.

And, our little genius has learned the art of the 'raspberry'! He just cracks himself up when he does it. I am desperately trying to capture it on film so I can share it with you!

I have been having a tough time adding photos for you Lucas junkies, stay patient, I hope to get them up soon!

Mr. Laughypants

Sorry for the hiatus of posting, we ran out of space on the computer for photos. That is how many pictures we have taken of this babe. Enjoy this video of the best West Coast Baby.

Yummy, eh?
