Posting on the run from my hometown today, small town Stony Plain, Alberta. We are heading to a wedding today and will be without Lucas for most of the day. My sister will be watching Lucas, and this will be the longest I have ever been away from him since he has been born. I am a little nervous, but am sure it will be fine. I hope!
Happy Saturday! It is definitely feeling a little fall-ish today, so off to our wedding with a pumpkin spice latte in hand!

Happy Belated 9 month Post!
We went to the doctor last week for Lucas's nine month old check up and we have a chunky monkey on our hands...
Mr. Man is 20.5 pounds and 76cm long
He has just starting wiggling, there really is no other words to describe how he crawls, just sort of army crawl wiggles to get where he wants to go... although the only motivation we can use to get him to move is our cell phones and the remote controls! He is truely his father's son!
A pro at eating dry products on his own- cheerios and toast are his favorites... Lucas only loses one in ten now as opposed to when he first started which was only getting one in ten to his mouth!
Loves to drink water out of the cup like a big boy, and thinks its absolutely hilarious.
Still likes to fake laugh, which in turn makes him laugh for real... so funny!
Has really started to interact with Bella, although she has learned to sit just outside his reach!
Is getting his two top teeth, which will bring us up to four. The past week has been rough on Lucas and I, as they were really bothering him, and Joon was under some tight deadlines at work so it was just L and I struggling though! Poor guy would wake up crying and go to sleep crying! I think he has cried more this week than he has since he was born!
Loves to "walk" on our fingers everywhere, and has mastered going up the stairs if we are holding his hands...
Has learned to pull all his toys out of the toy basket, play with each one for a bit before checking out the next one. In turn, he is also pulling himself up on said toy basket... I am waiting for the day when he face plants into the edge!
Lucas also has learned how to pull out his little blocks out of the block containers one by one, and its so great to see him figure out how to pull them out, pass them from hand to hand, put the block down and then on to the next one...
Very inconsistent with waving bye bye and clap clap... totally random at this point but so cute when he does
Has started to show how attached to mommy he is; if I leave a room or he can't see me, he cries and cries until I come back... I am not thrilled with this, but we are working through it!
Learning to drink from a sippy cup... still not quite sure on the concept of sucking from the sippy, and instead is content to chew on the end!
That's all I can think of, but he is certainly changing each and every day! Every day is an adventure!

Trouble with a capital T!!!
I think we have a mischevious little charmer on our hands! Lucas always looks like he is trying to figure things out- how they work, what it is, where it comes from... doesn't matter what we are doing, he is thinking! This is pre-bath time and he was desperate to see what was going happening on the other side of the tub!
Fun on the swings!!
Here are a few pictures of Lucas when we went to the park the first time... He LOVED the swings, as you can see by the cute creeper expressions he has on his face! These are from a while ago... Father's Day to be exact!
We had a low key day of breakfast at home, walk through the park with Bella and the fam, and ended up at the park for a swing! Although we got rained out and high tailed it to starbucks for an afternoon coffee-cap! All around great day, and a belated Father's Day to the new dad! Happy father's day babe!
The L-Man is crawling in a weird tadpole kind of way!
So Lucas is finally starting to be mobile, but not in the traditional sense! He does this weird army crawl/ tadpole swim where he uses a lot of energy but doesn't get particularily far fast. However, he gets an A+++ for effort and cuteness, because it is definitely hilarious!!
Here are a few videos of him in the last few!

Fabulous Friday!
Yup it's finally the weekend again! And we had some big news this week... We bought a new house!! We are building a new place that should be ready in May-ish of next year... Only downside is that our deposit with the builder left things a bit tight! So we are looking for fun free ways to enjoy the weekend! A few brunch dates ( at home to save $$) and a few walks with the fan to enjoy what little we have left of summer!
Joon is off next week, and we are having a wonderful little staycation!!
Happy Friday!!

Marvelous Monday!!
Today was definitely far from a marvelous day, as Lucas had a very rough day. We are in the midst of teething, getting his top two teeth, and has been pretty inconsolable. Little man didn't want to be out of my arms for very long, and when he was, he was crying like the world had just ended.
Let's hope tomorrow is a better day!!

Happy 39 weeks!!
It's official! Lucas is officially 39 weeks old, which means he has been "out" for as long as he was "in"! Everyone always says you don't remember what life was like before your little one was born, and it's totally true!!
I can't imagine not having Lucas in our lives, and it has been so much fun since he was born! Happy 39 weeks buddy!
We've gone from a little newbie baby...
To our big guy at 9 months!
I can't believe how fast this is going! Stay little and cute and innocent and my wee baby for ever!!!
Xoxo

First time out post baby...
And it was a success!! We went to the Soundgarden concert last night and it was great! A good show, but also nice to get out just the two of us! I have realized we need to do this more often. A friend of ours watched Lucas, but I will be on the hunt for a more permanent babysitter so this can be a weekly, or at least bi weekly occurrence.
And talk about a blast from the past seeing Soundgarden! I felt like I was sixteen again falling in love with the music and Chris Cornell all over again! Talk about reminiscent of my youth!!
Happy Thursday!!

Howdy partner!
We just wrapped up stampede here in Cow-town, and though we didn't make it to the grounds, Lucas was definitely in the spirit with his kicks!!

Things have been interesting around here...
So where do I begin? Oh ya, Joon and I had a baby. In November. It's been eight months. 36 weeks. Not including the you know, nine months I spent pregnant! Crazy right? We are finally feeling like we have a handle on the kiddo- no actually I think we've had a handle for a while, but I have just been a little guilty of neglecting the blog, and then didn't know if I should start it up again. Well, c'est la vie, right? No time like the present!
Our little guy is Lucas, and he is wonderful. I am terrible at documenting things- I still have an empty baby book that has yet to be filled in-worst parent of the year award to me! so I thought I would maybe keep it up on here... That way it is documented, the fam and grandparents can get their L-man fix, and all will be right with the world.
So at eight months, we still don't have a crawler.
Still HATES being on his tummy, so tummy time is definitely screamie time. Loudly.
Likes to walk with assistance holding onto mommy or daddy's hands, and just this week has started putting his arms up when we walk by to walk and be picked up.
Sits like a champ, and has since six months.
Has his bottom two teeth, that he got between six and seven months, but I think more are coming because he is super duper drooly!
Loves to eat food, and eats 3-4 cubes 3 times a day. We are starting to introduce real food,no purees so toast, cheerios, bananas, carrots, cheese, yogurt.
Not a fan of salmon, apricots, plums or peaches and makes the funniest faces when I try to feed it to him. I can usually get one or two spoons in, and then L clamps his lips together and looks at me like, "No way woman is another bite getting down this hatch!" really funny!
Has really started to get upset if he can't have something, or we take something away from him, like a toy or his sippy cup.
Likes to fake laugh, and then laughs for real because he cracks himself up.
Has two to three one hour naps a day, depending on when we get up in the morning. Usually an hour and a half to two hours after we first get up in the morning.
Goes to bed between 7 and 8pm, and sleeps until about 4am for a snack and then back to bed until 8am. Now if I could just get to bed at a decent hour, I'm sure I would feel rested for 6am bootcamp.
Does the cutest little shiver like he's cold, even on the hottest day...
Has a little pant laugh he does that sounds like he's a little puppy...
Graduated out of the bucket, and now sits in a rear facing Britax in the car... Likes to look at himself in the mirror.
Weighs 20 pounds, and is wearing 9month clothes, the 12 months are a little big, but doable.
Is learning to "clap clap" but is still very inconsistent when we try to get him to do it.
That's all I can think of right now...
Pictures to come. I will probably include a few preggo pics also. You know. To catch up on the past year and a half. :)
