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. :)
