We can grab!

After much practice with our jungle gym, we are grabbing the little moving birds! He's still sort of exploring how to do this, but he is definitely understanding now that he can grab things with his hands. Next thing to tackle is rolling over!

Our new toy!

Lucas has a little bouncing toy like this at daycare and we decided it was time for him to have one at home as well! Looks like he is enjoying it so far :) He's still a little short, so needs a book to get his feet on the ground.

Solid Food Begins!

At our doctor's visit last week, Dr. Somers advised us that we should begin feeding rice cereal this month, which is great news because Lucas seems to grow hungrier by the day! So this week we started feeding him whole grain rice cereal mixed with a little breast milk. The first day he was not overly impressed, but we think he has the hang of it and daycare reports he is eating well there. Today after church he had two bowlfuls and a big smile when he was done!

4 Months

We have our 4 month check-up this morning and have lots of fun things to report:

Weight: 15.05 (60th percentile)
Height: 26.75 (96th percentile)
Head: 17 inches (75th percentile)

Grandma was right that we are not getting a tooth in yet - it is a salivary gland cyst that will go away on its own on his gum.

We got a number of shots that we weren't thrilled with. We are going to be started to eat some rice cereal!

Our visit to see Grandpa & Grandma!

Our first visit to see Grandpa and Grandma in Lake Jackson was action packed - we had our very first trip to the beach, got to visit with Kim & Dave and Uncle Justin & Kat. Uncle Justin gave us this cool LSU jersey. We also went to church where Grandma enjoyed showing Lucas off to all of her friends. It was a great visit!

School Pictures are In!

Lucas' very first school picture! Turned out pretty well if I do say so myself. Pretty serious, but he can save his smiles for his parents.

Today is our 4th month birthday, so look for a 4 month picture shortly (we are currently napping and need a bath). Tomorrow is also our 4 month check-up for more shots and a height/weight check. Mom is very excited to see how much I weigh now! Oh! And the best part - I have my first tooth!

Baylor v. Iowa State

Lucas made it to his second Baylor football game this year. Baylor has managed to win both times he was in attendance, so we're sure there is a connection. He really enjoys being outside and seemed to have a good time at the game. This time we sat further away from the loud speaker and it was an earlier game, so he took a little nap around halftime but didn't miss his bedtime by much. We got to see Aunt Shelley there and visited with Stephen and Stephanie and some loud obnoxious fans at Hooters before the game. That was also Lucas' first, and likely last, trip to Hooters.

Sic 'em Bears!

Bathtime

Bathtime! Lucas recently discovered how much fun splashing in the bathtub was. He doesn't do much with his hands, but he really enjoys stomping his feet. We are looking for some bathtime tunes if anyone has suggestions :)
