Lucas' first Halloween

Colt's parents put on a Halloween party every year for the grand kids.

Yup, He's my little Monkey

Colt wanted to try and be a monkey to....but it didn't quite fit.

Lucas was sick this Halloween so we dressed him up in his costume for a few hours that day and went to Home Depot and looked around. That's the extent of his first Halloween experience besides the Halloween party he had the week before. No trick-or-treating this year, which was ok because I wasn't going to give him any candy anyways, but I sure could have used some candy for myself :) Overall it was a pretty good Halloween considering Lucas went to the night clinic at ours doctors a couple nights before because his temperature got really high but he got better fast and is pretty much all better now.

My silly little boy

He likes to climb in and up and on EVERYTHING!

Colt loves this face because he looks so goofy.

My poor sick little baby.

11 Months

1 more months and I will have a 1 year old!
Lucas is learning so much. Here's some new things about Lucas.

*He now can say Mama.
*He has been able to say Dada for a few months now.
*He can stand all by himself for a short time.
* He is VERY VERY busy.
* He pretty much hates baby food now.
* He thinks he is such a big boy and wants to do everything by himself.
* He does not like his oatmeal. I get him to still eat it by alternating every bite between apple sauce, cottage cheese, or yogurt.
* Foods he loves: apple sauce, cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, bagels and cream cheese, mac n cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, apples, bananas, peaches, pears, green beans, and anything he can pick up and eat by himself.
* Lucas has finally gone to 2 naps a day, which has worked out very well. He goes to bed and hour earlier and sleeps in a hour later and has 1, 2 and a half hour nap and 1 hour and a half nap. Can't get much better then that.
* Lucas waves bye-bye to us when we put him to bed. He loves going to bed.
*He can slide down the slide at the playground.
*He loves playing with boxes and crawling through them.

Busy at work

We just love our little Lucas! We are savoring ever minute because he is growing up way to fast. We can't get enough of him. He makes us smile and laugh every day.

Just a video of Lucas sliding down a big hill at our house. He just started immediately sliding down this hill without even thinking about it so we thought it was pretty funny.

Fun in the tub!

Lucas had lots of fun playing in the tub with lots of bubbles tonight!

Look at his crazy hair, it is finally growing.

All ready for bed. Goodnight everyone.

10 Months!

I can't believe Lucas will have his first birthday in less then 2 months! Crazy how fast time goes by. Lucas is so very WILD! Lucas is getting into EVERYTHING and walking all along the furniture and climbing in and on EVERYTHING. He can climb onto the couch by himself and get off the bed or couch by himself. He can point his finger at things and wave bye-bye. Lucas LOVES books! He likes to sit and look at books and ew and ah over each page. Lucas is still taking 3 naps a day but I can tell the time to go to 2 is coming soon. Lucas is getting his top 2 teeth. Lucas is a curious little boy. We just love our little man.

He has started liking to watch his movies in his stroller. Silly kid.

I let Lucas have a lick of my sucker

In the plane going to Colorado. Lucas' second time flying.

Colt's Dad making Lucas laugh. Of course once he saw the camera he wasn't laughing near as hard as he was before.

My twin is a married man now!

We went to Colorado a couple weeks ago for my twin brother's wedding. It was a very short trip but it was fun to get away for a while and see some family that we have not seen for a few years.

My sis-in-law Karletta and her son Kael (poor guy, he was not happy) Lucas is 3 months younger then Kael.

My sisters and I.

I'm mad I did not get one good picture of the happy couple together.

Lucas is 9 months old!

MORE ABOUT LUCAS

Lucas has become a very busy little boy. We are having so much fun with him and he makes us smile and laugh everyday. He is learning so much. He is learning how to wave bye-bye but doesn't quite have it yet. He can say dada. He doesn't necessarily associate it with Colt yet. He can walk behind his stroller. He is a speedy little crawler and walks all around the furniture. He can answer yes or no questions by shaking his head but doesn't really answer them right I think he is just learning the concept of answering questions.

Things Lucas likes: He loves getting his teeth brushed, he giggles the whole time, it is so cute. He likes being chased. He loves to sleep on his belly. He likes looking at books and likes us to read to him. He loves when I sing to him, sometimes it is the only way to calm him down. His favorite foods are cheese, yogurt, and apple juice, but he will eat anything. He is such a good eater. He loves to sleep. He sleeps 12 hours at night and is STILL taking 3 naps a day. I want him to go to 2 naps so I can leave the house for longer periods of time and so that his 2 naps will hopefully be longer then an hour and a half each. I am just very glad he is a good sleeper and easy to put to bed. He loves watching cars and especially motorcycles and the louder the better. Sometimes we will just sit on the grass and watch the cars go by. It is some good entertainment for a while. He is very interested in tools and loves watching Colt and what he is doing with his tools.

Things Lucas dislikes: He HATES getting dressed or his diaper changed. It seriously is a battle every time. He hates wearing shoes but likes to chew on them. He hates church. Well I don't think he hates it he is just not good at church because he just wants to be down crawling around, or standing on the bench and jumping up and down looking at the people behind us. But obviously I don't let him do that. I don't want to be those people with the rowdy kids during sacrament meeting. I'm afraid I am "those" people. Every other Sunday I have to go to church by myself because Colt is working. It is so hard with Lucas be myself because he is very busy and loud. Every time I end up leaving early and sometimes I just come home and cry and wonder why I even try to go by myself. It's not like I even heard a word that was said, I spend the whole time trying to make Lucas happy. So I guess this is my dislike more then Lucas'. Lucas is getting quite the little temper. If he doesn't want something he will throw it or if he gets mad he will arch his back and throw himself backwards. I hope this doesn't last long.

Lucas had another doctors appointment and did so good with the shots. He didn't he cry on one of them and just look at it like what are you doing. The worst part was the doctor had to pull back his extra foreskin on his peepee because it was growing to far down and Lucas scream with that. It hurt Lucas so bad and his little peepee was swollen and bright red for the next 2 days. Apparently I was suppose to pull it back with every bath but I didn't know that. Here is how much Lucas has grown. 21lbs. 1 oz. 50%, 28 3/4 inches 50%, head 47.6cm above 95%.

LOTS OF PICTURES

Likes to look outside.

Needed a little extra support.

Look at that evil face.

We went swimming at the Lindon pool and we loved it. Lucas made a friend while we were there. He loved crawling all around that pool and playing in the fountains. I love how the pool is so soft we we don't scrap our knees.

Wrestling with Daddy.

First bubble bath. My little stink bug. The mess I get to clean up multiple times a day.

We took a Sunday walk around Utah Lake. Lucas learned to walk behind the stroller.

Thanksgiving Point for 2$ Tuesdays!

Likes climbing on everything!

Colt won a 25$ gift card for winning the fluffy bunnies contest at our work party.

I cut 11 inches off my hair. Here is the before and after pictures. I love it so much better short. It's a lot easier getting my hair out of Lucas' hands with it this short.
