Bity Baby No More

"He has a Tooth!", Laura exclaimed. "Oh, no, he is growing up" is what my poor heart gasped. My little guy has just gotten his first tooth! When it grows a little more I will get a picture for everyone! Oh, no more precious gummy smiles! He is getting so big, so fast, that I just can't keep up!

Peas, Glorious Peas

We got back from the Dr today and she said he needs to be eating lots of real food, so I went and bought him some more food. Today's new food was peas. I think he might like them more than avocado! That's my boy! (I LOVE peas!) Dad fed him tonight, and he got mad when he did not shovel peas fast enough. He got that from me too... I inhale my food!

Our New Obsession

READING! Lucas' current favorite is featured here. Tails, by Matthew Van Fleet. It is a FUN book. It talks about the different kinds of tails that animals have. Has fluffy tails, spiny tails, scaly tails, etc..

Here are some pictures of Lucas and I reading before naptime today.

Notice the girl peacock is turning up her nose... then she sees his pretty feathers and she has her tongue out! hahahahahaha! This is one of his favorite pages. The 'shiny' feathers make noise when you scratch them!

He likes to catch the tails when I move them with the tab. SOOO cute!

How great is this face!?!

So many new things

These are the new things that Lucas can do now:

• Sit like a pro. He can even sprawl out and reach for toys all around him.
• Bang cups together, or just use anything to make noise!
• Put one object into another, as in a toy inside of his cup.
• Learning how to drink from a cup.
• He likes avocado, not so sure about those bananas.
• Loves that Johnny Jump up!
• Pass an object from one hand to the other.
• Oh, and mommies least favorite, throw his toys down when he is bored with them.

PS.
Who do you think he looks more like now? Mommy, or Daddy???

Sweet Avacado!

Now THIS is what he was waiting for! We gave Lucas Avocado for lunch today. Now I know he did not like the bananas so much! He is not let any avocado fall out of his mouth! haha! The bananas I was not even sure he swallowed any, till I changed his diaper! Oops!
Even Dad tried out feeding the little guy. Wish I had gotten a picture of that!

Here Lucas is saying... in mouth... now, please!

Oh, and WHOOP! Gig 'em Aggies!
