Seven months

Our happy little boy

Well Lucas is officially closer to one than he is to a newborn… we can’t believe how fast time is flying by. Lucas is the best baby in the world, and we just love him to pieces. I feel like he is changing and becoming more of a character each and every day.

I don't know why, but I just love this picture.

Likes:

·         Bouncing – he will bounce pretty much any time anyone will let him. He has a toy that he can bounce in but he will also bounce on people if you stand him up.

·         Walking in his Elmo toy – grandma has an Elmo toy with wheels, and he LOVES that he can use his legs to push all around grandma’s house.

·         His Tigger – his cousin Lilli gave him her Tigger, and oddly enough it seems to be his favorite toy we own.

·         Talking – he loves to talk and talk and talk.

·         Sesame Street – he loves his videos, specifically the Will-i-am, Train, and The Elmo Song(it is THE ONLY time we can get the kid to sit for more than a few minutes)

·         Juice – the doctor told us we could start juice at his last appointment, and he definitely likes the addition to his food/drinks.

·         Smiling – even when he is sad it is so easy to get him to smile just by talking to him.

·         PULLING HAIR!!!!! – its just awful…. he has such a strong grip and of course I am always the target.

Trying to crawl

 Dislikes:

·         Crawling backwards – he STILL has not figure out how to move forward when crawling. His stance is getting better and better every day… but he still goes backwards.

·         Sitting – he still for some reason doesn’t want to sit, I really really hope he gets over that soon.

·         Being left – even if we just walk into the kitchen while he is playing he will start “mamamamama”-ing and crying.

·         Colds – he got another cold… and this one seems to be staying around for awhile.

So proud of himself.

Accomplishments:

·         First trip – I don’t know if that is really an accomplishment or not, but he did take his first out of state trip to Utah.

·         Sitting in a cart – it was very nice… the one time he was willing to do it for more than a few minutes.

·         Living without his pacifier – he hasn’t mastered anything but we are working on only having his pacifier at naps/bedtime and so far when he doesn’t have it, he seems to be fine.

Cousin Time

Love this boy!
