We went to Park City with my family over conference weekend. It was a lot of fun, even though I had to leave early for school. Lucas had a great time and it snowed the last day there and he enjoyed playing in the snow, or so I heard.
Lucas is 15-months old today! He had his doctors appointment and unfortunately he is still way below what he should be on weight. He is average for height so I guess that is good. Our doctor said to get PediaSure and give him that everyday so we will see if that helps. I didn’t get to go to the appointment because of school but Kryssi said he was very hard to handle. He freaked out and it took her and the doctor to hold him down to measure him and I think another nurse to help give him his shots. But he is doing good now.
I have created a website for school that I post all of my assignments on. It isn’t anything great but if anyone wants to take a look at it, here is the link: www.darinkotter.com.
Sorry the updates haven’t been too frequent lately. I’ve been busy and we haven’t done much worth posting. But Lucas is getting bigger by the day. He is starting to talk more now, actual words that is. He jabbers constantly but he can now say mommy, dad, tractor, baby, yummy, and bubble. Occasionally we hear other things but it is probably just us.
Here’s some more pictures of Lucas. He still doesn’t say a lot that we can understand, but he does babble constantly. Every once in awhile he will say something that we understand, we just don’t know if he really is saying it or we just are hearing what we want to hear. He does say mama and dadda, woof, lately he’s been saying cracker, and I’m not sure what else. But he does understand what we say which is nice.
He loves getting my basketball and bouncing it on the kitchen floor. When he is outside by the basketball hoop, he tries to shoot the ball. It makes me pretty happy to see, that’s for sure!
I haven’t updated in a while but that’s really because not much has been going on. Every time we do something interesting we don’t have our camera to take pictures of it. But I am back in school now and I think that is the only major thing different in our lives. I’ve posted some new pictures of Lucas below though. He is getting bigger and it is so fun seeing him start to understand more of the world around him. He is such a funny kid but he can be quite a handful at times. We love him though!
Here are some pictures from Kryssi’s 22nd birthday! I think she had a good day and she didn’t have to work, which was great.
Here’s some pictures from Lucas’ birthday party. It’s been a few weeks but I just haven’t had time to get them up.
Since we are having his party on Saturday and we’ll make cake for him then, I decided to just make him a cupcake on his birthday. I made chocolate frosting and decided to give him one of the beaters to eat. He loved it!
