Eight Months Old!

Lucas is growing up so fast! Today he is officially 8 months old and I'm finding out that I love this age! He is a very lovable little boy. He gives us the best open-mouth, slobbery kisses in the whole world! He's usually always talking; saying ma-ma and da-da, and has the cutest little laugh when we tickle him or tell him he has stinky feet. (Very funny!) He's such a silly little guy! Besides crawling all over the place, (it didn't take him very long to figure it out), he now pulls himself up to stand on anything he has access to. Once he's up he just looks around and smiles because he knows he's such a big boy! He's at such a fun age but I can't help but wonder where the time has gone. I know it will go by faster the older he gets so I'm really trying to enjoy everything about him before it's too late!
We love you Lucas!

Crawling, A Haircut & Our New Puppy!

I should have posted this a month ago, since he started crawling before Christmas. That's right, my baby is crawling...

This video is one of the first times he actually put it all together and, as you can see, was successful in reaching his destination. He was fascinated with the Christmas tree and if you'll notice in the video, one of the branches was already missing it's lights. I usually keep the tree up until New Years, but can you blame me for taking it down early this year?And after the tree came down it seemed only obvious that Lucas had to find something else to get into. Guess what he went straight for?

He hasn't actually tried the dog food yet but we've caught him, more then once, with a handful or two. I didn't know by having a baby I would also be getting a new puppy. Isn't he cute? And finally... after weeks of convincing, we decided to give Lucas his first haircut. He truly was in desperate need of a new do; I seemed to be one of the few who actually thought his comb-over was cute! Cute, but CRAZY!! This was before...

And this is after...

It was seriously like 3 1/2 inches long! And so dark!! We held it up to his head after it was off and it was like night and day. Poor kid- someday he'll be mad at me for making him have it for so long. Not only that, but now my baby's hair is all gone! He's growing up way too fast!He's as handsome as ever and now that it's gone, I can say that I wish we would have cut it sooner! What was I thinking?!?!

Merry Christmas!

Here is Lucas in the middle of all of his toys that he got for Christmas this year. Talk about spoiled! We went from having very little toys to more then we know what to do with in one day! Between all of this and everything else he got (clothes, pj's, bath stuff) we have seriously outgrown our little apartment! :) Here are a few pics of him playing with his new toys...

As you can see, we had an awesome Christmas this year! THANK YOU to everyone for the presents and for making this such a special time of year! We love you!
