Luke Being Funny

Lucas has learned how to make noise with his lips and then run his fingers over them (I’m not sure what it’s called) so we tried to get it on camera. He wasn’t cooperating but this was pretty cute anyways.

Later I actually got him doing it so I’ll post that video next.

Lucas Really Crawling

Lucas has finally learned how to crawl for real. He still does his army crawl but he usually crawls with his stomach up off the floor for a little bit at least! He doesn’t like performing on camera though so this was the best we could catch. He is trying to get the camera, and eventually he does.

9-Months Old!

Lucas turned 9-months old today! It is amazing how time flies by so fast. It just seems like yesterday he was a little guy (which I guess he still is!). We had his doctors appointment today, and it was his first since his 6-month appointment so we were excited to see how he was doing.

He had no shots so it wasn’t as traumatic as usual. He weighs 16 pounds 8 ounces, which was the 4th percentile, and was 28 1/4″ long, which was the 50th percentile. So he is still a really small guy, but the doctor said he is completely healthy and that’s all that matters!

Getting ready to go to the doctor!

9-Months old! He loves standing up and he tries to do it all the time! We’re pretty sure he will be walking before he learns to crawl real good, though he is getting better at getting his stomach off the ground when he crawls.

He is such a cute boy! We just can’t get over how lucky we are to have him in our lives.

Happy Easter!

Getting ready for the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Kotter’s! Sitting on the front steps with the cousins.

Lucas got himself one egg! It was a little big for him to hold but he managed to do it. He doesn’t like touching grass so I had to hold him up the whole time!

Sitting with his cousins after the little kids Egg Hunt. Lucas is trying to grab an egg away from Alexis! We weren’t quick enough to get a picture of it but after we set him down, Lucas just turned to Alexis and gave her a kiss on the cheek! It was pretty cute.

Getting a ride in a wheelbarrow!

Kryssi out hunting for eggs. She found the Golden Egg, which means she got $5!

Riding on Grandpa’s shoulders.

Easter morning before heading to church.

New pictures!

Lucas playing with his new toy he got from Aunt Amy! He loves it!! He stares in the mirror and he likes to lean in and put his face against it. It looks like he is giving himself a kiss!

Lucas has discovered out how to sit up on his own and now he tries to pull himself up to a standing position with everything in reach!

Standing up on his own! He is getting to big.

It looks like he is walking but he was really falling. Mom caught him though so no worries!

He crawled over to his high chair and is trying to use it to stand up. He can’t quite get it yet but he is getting closer each day!

Lucas and mom made quite the mess. Kryssi would tear the paper a little and Lucas would rip off a strip. He had quite a fun time doing it and playing in the scraps afterwards.

Some New Pictures!

Playing in his crib. He has learned how to hold on to the side and he tries to pull himself up. We are going to have to lower the mattress down lower soon!

He loves chewing on anything but especially if it tastes good! He doesn’t have any real teeth in it but he still loves chewing on licorice.

It got pretty messy though so I don’t think we’ll be letting him chew on any licorice for awhile!

Lucas "Crawling"

Lucas hasn’t quite gotten the hang of crawling but he does do a army crawl. It basically gets him around wherever he wants to go, but I’m sure soon he will learn how to do it right!

Making a Mess!

Well even though he can’t crawl yet he still has learned how to make a lot of mess. He found out we have movies that are within his reach and so we rolls over to them and starts grabbing each one and throwing it to the side. We think his goal is to touch each movie. So now we put pillows in front of them to thwart his attempts and even still he sometimes pulls those out of the way so he can resume his work!

Luke Saying Momma

8-Months Old!

Lucas is officially 8-months old today! It is amazing how fast time flies, especially when you are having fun! He is getting bigger and bigger everyday and he is starting to learn how to crawl. He does more of a army crawl right now, using his forearms instead of his hands, but it gets him around.

He also has his first tooth coming in, finally! We didn’t know when it would happen but it is finally starting to poke through the gums. It is pretty exciting.
