Lucas is 6 Months

Lucas is half a year already! This past month has really been fun with Lucas. He is a smiley, charming little guy. Several people have commented on how "easy" and relaxed he seems, and another friend said she would have more children if she knew they would be like Lucas. I would have to agree- he is a pleasant boy. This month LJ has discovered his hands! It's funny how entralled he is with just looking at them. He is also really wanting to reach for and touch/grab everything! This age is also fun as he begins to investigate and play more with his toys. Lucas continues to be a good eater. So far he has had: bananas, rice cereal, oatmeal, pears, applesauce, yellow squash, pumpkin, and peaches. I still think bananas are probably his favorite, but he has taken to everything (let's hope he continues to be a good eater!)

At Lucas' 6 month well-baby checkup, he weighed 15 lbs. 7 ounces, putting him in the 15th percentile (crazy!) and was 26.5 inches long, putting him in the 52nd percentile for children his age. He is now wearing size 3 diapers and is in 6-12 and 9 month clothing.

Father's Day Weekend 2012

We had a nice, quiet weekend together celebrating Daddy. Steve is an awesome dad! It has been such a blessing these past (almost 3) years watching the relationship between Christian (and now Lucas) and Daddy grow. There is truly nothing better than seeing the sheer joy and delight from a little boy who loves his daddy. Currently Christian and daddy's favorite activities include wrestling/playing on the bed, yard work, and playing ball. Basically, Christian wants to do everything that Daddy does, and he loves to help. Steve with his boys this weekend:

A Week of Photos

Steve was TDY in Tampa this week again (although this time I knew a little more of what to expect with two.) The week was pretty smooth overall, and we kept busy with lots of play dates and activities. Thank goodness for all of our sweet friends!
 Lucas is becoming quite the good little eater. Already eating better (and sometimes more) than Big Brother.

 Christian playing with his water table from Nana and Papa from his 2nd Birthday.
