Things are changing so fast now ...

Today Lucas was practicing walking back and forth between daddy and my self and several times made it all the way (about 5 steps each way) he was very proud of him self as were mommy and daddy! I am trying to get a decent video of this but it's hard because i want to see him too so i end up cutting part of him out of the video while I'm paying attention to him and not the camera. It is so amazing how quickly things are changing these days.

I don't think i mentioned he got his upper left molar partially in while we were in Eugene and since we've gotten home i can see the bottom two molars coming through. they are about to break the skin so i am sure he is in some pain. He is handling it like a champ though, just a little bit of whimpering in his sleep.

The last note i wanted to add was that i have been teaching Lucas what a monkey says. and he also eats bananas for breakfast so i always tell him "monkeys eat bananas, what does a monkey say" and the other morning when he saw me coming towards him with his banana he started making the monkey noise 'ooh oooh ooh' it was pretty cute needless to say. I am trying to get that on video as well but he just does the cutesdt stuff all the time i'd have to have the thing out all day.

Oh my Oh my

Lucas climbed up on the love seat this morning! Pearl and Hugo were laying on it and i guess he decided he wanted to be with them. It was pretty crazy to see him up there. And just when i thought i had the downstairs child proofed .... yikes!

Also he has figured out how to go down the stairs. He's been going up them for a long time but now he's got the down part too. He climbs down feet first on his belly. he's still pretty unstable going down but going up is a breeze. of course i am right there to catch no matter which way he is going. It's pretty cute to see him turn around to go down the stairs because sometimes he miss judges how far he is from the stairs and scoots backwards for quite a while. it cracks me up! I'll try to get it on video.

12 month check up

Lucas had his 12 month check up and shots today. I know it's a little late i usually do it right on the date but since we were in Oregon i didn't schedule the app until after we got back. It all went good, the doctor said he is doing great. He was 30 and a 1/4 inches tall, 80th percentile. 26 lbs and 11 oz. which puts him in the 92nd percentile for that. He was also in the 92nd percentile for his head size. They gave him 4 shots, it was pretty hard on him. I had to hold his hands while they did it, poor lil guy I felt so bad knowing he doesn't understand why I was letting someone hurt him. He stopped crying as soon as i picked him up, and fell asleep on the way home. I'm sure it took a lot out of him. Hopefully I can make the rest of his day a lot better.

Peekaboo!!!

Lucas got a wagon for his birthday! He loves the wagon and we go walk pretty much every night with him in it. But he also loves the box! here are a few videos of us all playing with the box.

Lucas's 2nd First Birthday!

Lucas Got two birthday parties this year since we were in Oregon close enough to celebrate. but when we got home we threw a party on his actual birthday. We have a small BBQ With our friends out here. The cake was cute as can be and so was the birthday boy! He had a lot of fun and got some great loot!

It's a bird ... it's a plane ... nope it's SUPER LUCAS

This picture deserves a spot of it's own! Thank you aunt Jane for the awesome super man cape! This picture turned out pretty cool. It's a good thing Lucas likes to be thrown up cause we did it a few times to get a good one
