Updates- Jan 2013

 I thought that I'd just write down what I can remember real quick about the last month or so. December 19 Lucas got his first tooth and the second one came in the begining of Jan the twelth I believe.  I think we are working on a new one now, but haven't seen anything just quite yet. Oh, all of them are on the bottom.

At the beginning of January Lucas hadn't quite mastered crawling, but he's an old pro now. Although he would much rather hold on to your fingers and walk around. He could do that before he crawled. He can sit up by himself and pull himself up on his feet also.

He says Mamamama and what sounds like Mom. It is so cute. Gus is trying to get him to say Papa or Dada... ;-)  hehe

Oh! and he does "high five" it is so cute. He tries to do it now though when I'm trying to get him to go to sleep... Humm... haha

Lucas loves to read books. I have some pictures of him with a book my parents gave him, but i am currently not able to get them off the phone... Hopefully soon I will be able to. and he loves to eat paper, silly boy!

He favorite foods are veggie straws and what ever Mommy is eating. ;-)  He likes applesauce, pears, and plums. Peaches aren't too bad either, but he doesn't really like bananas, avocado, or green beans. Sweet potatoes and squash are OK. He likes meat too-chicken, beef, pork -it's all pretty good. He loves mango popcicles!!- yes, they are real fruit ones. :-) The first time he had one he cried when it was gone.

Lucas loves to be outside and around people- but mommy must be near. :-) He definitely is a Mommy's boy, but he loves his Daddy and Grandma and Uncle Jared too, and then Grandpa. ;-)  Well, that's all I can think of right now...

Lucas is the light of our lives and makes us all so happy! We don't know what we'd do without him!

blogging

So, I've been thinking about why I blog- I guess some could argue, why I don't blog. ;-)  I guess really it's just like an electronic journal, with pictures. I don't really have anything funny or interesting to say I just basically state what has happened in my life. and my life is pretty routine and boring. I've also been trying to write in my physical journal- trying to do both takes a lot of time and I often forget what I've said in one and not the other. Then there is Facebook- I don't post a whole lot there, but I do do it more often then I blog or get my journal written in. So, with that said, I think I need to consolidate somewhere. I do like having pictures to go with my journal entries... but, any of the good pictures I usually end up posting on Facebook anyways. Humm... well, I still need to think about what I'm going to do, but I think that I will either make my blog private or discontinue writing in it. My family in Brazil can see what's going on through Facebook and by actually talking to us. I guess I'll let you all (not that there are very many of you) know what I decide. For now, I'll leave you with pictures of my sweet little boy!
