Don't get me started....
I know it is so pathetic that I haven't posted in a month. Terrible. Also terrible the lack of photos that this post will have. But stories! I have stories for you!
So the other day, I was in the hallway, and Lucas was walking from his room to the living room. He almost made it past the bathroom door, but did a double take and backed up to walk into the bathroom. He pulled his little potty (which he doesn't use yet) next to the sink, pulled a cup off the sink, turned on the water, filled up the cup, and started chugging. He only stopped to look at me looking at him with water dumping all over his belly and the faucet on full blast to laugh hysterically.
Lucas is quite the puzzle fanatic, too. He dumps the pieces of the puzzle out, and compares each piece to the board and really thinks....really really hard....and then when he puts it in just right, he nods his head and moves on to the next one. So smart!!!
No big changes on the talking front. He can say mommy, loddy doddy (daddy), oh wow, hi, and no. I can't wait until his funny little babbles turn into real sentences so I know what is going on in that head!
I do know what is going on outside that head....tons of hair! Sometimes he looks a little Donald Trumpy. If only he didn't hate getting his hair cut so much, he wouldn't look like such a little ragamuffin. His hair has just about lost any red that it had, and is just straight up blonde. He is supreme. And handsome. But I digress.
No more bottles at bed-time! Our biggest little one just gets a few moments of snuggley togetherness and then I heave him over the side of the crib and he snuggles his pillow and that is it! Bedtime! I just don't advise trying this without the pillow. He really loves it.
We decorated the Christmas tree today, and Lucas still is a little concerned about having a tree inside. He keeps on picking up the needles off the floor and trying to put them in the vacuum cleaner. I love that. He keeps taking off the ornaments and then putting them up and marveling at his work. Genius!
I promise I'll try to put up some more photos.

Lucas Talks to the Ducks
So, we went to Little Farm in Tilden Park right here in Berkeley, and Lucas just went coocoo for the duckies.
Check him out, he is like the 'Duck Whisperer', except he was a little louder.
Or a lot louder.

Halloween!
Seriously! Because he never stops moving, it was hard to capture the grandeur. Try to piece it together from the photo montage!

We've got photos!
Hey there, Aunt Lainey is hooking me up with some computer skills right now so I can upload photos!
Love this little guy!

It's been a month....shame on me!
But seriously, I have been busy!
I went to Spain, and then to Lainey's wedding! I know, I know, you are thinking, who cares about you, we want to know about the baby!
He is officially no longer a baby. Walking, running, molars, talking (sort of), and major high-fiving are my little one's newest tricks.
The talking thing has us in a tizzy. Trust me, this kid can communicate, but he really says 'no', 'mamammmamamamamamama', and the occasional 'oh boy' and 'oh wow', he just doesn't say much. He babbles, yes. He follows directions, yes. But talking, not. When we hang out with Aunt Becky and Ruby, he seems like a mute. A cute, very hungry mute, but still a mute.
Anyway, not a problem, he is supreme, and will talk soon. I just hope he tells me he loves his mom.
I got to spend some time in Spain with Annamarie, and did we ever have fun! We had wine, tried to find trouble, saw an opera, walked till our feet hurt and had to soak our feet in a hot tub, people watched, and enjoyed some togetherness while in Barcelona. I was so lucky to have her visiting me since I was really missing my little guys. Anna is awesome. Totally awesome.
Ben's Mom, Susan, was here for the week I was in Spain, and I only got to see her briefly, and through jet lagged eyes. Bummer! I wish we had had some more time together, but I know that Lucas and Ben enjoyed every moment with her. I may take her with me to Spain next year!
Aunt Lainey's wedding was awesome! It was so great to spend time with my grandparents, parents, and Miri and the kids. Lucas was so happy to be with his cousins, and does he ever love his Aunt Miri!
We are just so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Ben and I say all the time how lucky we are, but when I think about how rich we are in love, I just can't stand it!
I am running into another 'lack of memory' problem, so although I have bazillions of photos and videos, I can't post a thing...yet!
