sorry it has been so long

So it has been a while. We have experienced a lot in the past couple of months. Abraham finished his school (we are so proud of him). But it took him away from Lucas and I a lot in the past couple of months, so things were a little more difficult. It was also very busy for both of us at work getting the kids ready for the holiday season. We both felt horrible like we were neglecting Lucas because we had so much going on. I hope that things calm down and we can work on settling into our normal family routine now.

My little man is now a very big 7 months old!!! He is moving around so much and just developing his own little personality. It is so cute! He is a very laid back baby for the most part, like his daddy, but he has little mood swings every once in a while (I have no idea where that comes from =P). I still find myself having a hard time leaving him when I have to go to work, some days are much more difficult than others, I am dreading going back to work after this long break. It is even harder now because he is much more cuddly, so I miss his hugs all day long.

Lucas finds his way around very quickly now, he does not crawl he scoots his body. He does a very fast backwards crawl and has learned to sit up from laying on his belly. His new feat is he has learned to pull himself up on his little walker toy and move his hands from the toy to the room door. I am starting to think that he may not crawl and might just walk, but we will see what happens.

He is also really funny when he eats now. Lucas loves his meal times and he has learned to open his mouth really wide for each bite like a little bird. He really focuses on his food and is not easily distracted unless Gordy is around. We have given him Cheerios and he loves them but does not pick them up and put them in his mouth he has figured out that it is easier to grab my hand and put it to his mouth with the Cheerio on it. He has two little teeth that he eats with.

We had a lot of fun at Christmas. Lucas like opening his gifts and eating the wrapping paper. He got a toy that uses air to pop balls up and he is really intrigued by that toy. He also received a big Leap Frog riding fire truck with a lot of sound and lights that he really likes. He really just enjoys being the center of attention and rolling around with everyone at all of our family gatherings. We have been truly blessed with a very mellow little guy who brings joy not only in our home, but to all of our family. His little smile and laugh brightens our life each and every day!!!
