Photo-less update

Sad, but so true, the lack of computer space means no photos today. Also sad, but true, is that I have tons of cute photos and videos to share with you.

I just love this little person more every day. He is really so funny and cracks me up. For one, he is a little mischievous devil! You may know that of late he has become super in love with his pacifier. Not as much as he is in love with a good laugh. Just wait till you see the video of him crawling past my feet, looking at me, looking at my feet, and laughing. Then he spits out the pacifier and starts to BITE MY TOES! And laugh like a little crazy nut! I recorded it on video. But you can't see it yet. Wanna buy me a new computer with tons of memory? Anyone? Is this thing on?!?!

In other news, Lucas is walking. Not that we should be sooo surprised, but he is really doing it. Don't get me wrong, he takes about 10-15 steps and then looks like he's going to explode with pride.

I, too, might explode with pride. I was just folding laundry ( I know, what a thrill), and just can't believe how big he has grown and that all that he is able to do these days. He is a snuggly little one, and can really give a great hug. He laughs so hard whenever I try to teach him a few sign language signs like I am the nutty one. He shares his food with me and looks so pleased as if I would perish if he didn't share a cheerio or strawberry. And, man, does he love to throw food over the highchair for Panda. Panda likes that, too. What strikes me the most about this little person is that he is so much his own person. He may have my hair and Ben's lips, but he takes every opportunity to show us he is Lucas.

Lucas had his second official haircut. Let's just say it could look a little better. I tried to fix it. Let's just say it could look a little better. I am sort of glad there is no photographic evidence of this haircut. Yikes.

On other fronts, I am sleepy and heading to bed. I swear I'll find a way to post photos soon.

Peanut Butter Update

After much hemming and hawing, nervous hand wringing, and procrastination, we have given Lucas a taste of peanut butter.

He is alive and well.

Now you can rest easy.

Big Night Out

Ben and I went out to dinner the other night, and Lucas chaperoned. We had to buy him his own dinner. This kid is going to cost us an arm and a leg.
But just look at him in the candlelight with his crayons and everything. He is more delicious than dinner. See how he shares with his mommy? (PS, he did not eat the fries, but devoured the grilled cheese)
