| Lucas with mommy and Lilli on his birthday. |
Twelve
months already! It feels like this year has passed by in the blink of an eye.
Our little boy is no longer this little tiny baby, he is now this sweet little
man that gets into just about anything. Some days I wonder how we are going to
be “good” parents to Lucas when literally
everything he does causes one or both of us to start laughing. He has figured
out EVERYTHING he is supposed to leave alone and has decided those are the only
things he wants to play with. He has this amazing little grin that says very
clearly, “I know I shouldn’t be doing this, but I am so dang cute I’m going to
do it anyway.”

Likes:
Exploring – he really wants to learn
about everything good or bad, so he will investigate all that we will let him.
Bath time – I keep thinking he will
get bored of baths, but every time he gets so excited that I just want to let
him take baths every time he gets fussy.
His dogs – I’m not so sure they feel
the same way about him, but he loves to chase them around and pull their hair.
“Walking” – he can’t do it by
himself but he will walk in an L shape back and forth around the couch.
Standing – he has figured out how to
stand all by himself, but he doesn’t want anyone else to know… so as soon as
someone notices he plops down on the ground.

Dislikes:
Baby food – he still loves his
fruits, but he has decided he will not eat any of the vegetables or the meats…
he will however eat any of those things if they are the same food that mommy
and daddy are eating.
Getting his nose cleaned – he got
very sick again this month, and of course that came with a runny nose, cough…
and he HATED every second of it.
Being left – it doesn’t matter if
one parent has stayed in the room with him, if one of us starts to walk out of
the room he isin, he starts to fuss and chase after which ever person is
walking away.

Accomplishments:
Talking – he has quite the baby vocabulary these days, he
has a few words he says all the time, and then a couple that only get said on
special occasions. He loves “dada” and says it pretty much all the time, he
also knows “mama”, “hi”, “goggy”, “yes”, and “bye”.
Clapping – he loves to clap, and if he hears a noise that
even sounds like clapping he will start clapping himself.
Shaking his head no – I’m not sure where he learned it but
any time we tell him no, he starts frantically shaking his head back and forth.
Walking with help and Standing alone – he really loves to do
both, we are pretty sure we almost have a walker!
Biting food – we have finally hit the point where we don’t
have to tear pieces of food off for him, he is figuring out how to bite it
himself, it’s pretty cute to watch him with his 3 little teeth trying to break
off a piece of the food!
