My Baby.....

Lucas, I can't believe how fast you are growing! Today you are one month old and getting bigger by the second. I can't believe what a happy and go lucky baby you are. Your daddy and I are so in love with you and are so excited to be a part of your life.

Over the past month you have had many discoveries.

You LOVE tummy time, especially when Lulu is involved. Lulu is so protective of you and loves to be with you every second of the day. If you are asleep, she is asleep....if you are doing tummy time, she is doing tummy time. If we are changing you, Lulu is sitting right next to the changing table. You two are best friends and she won't ever leave your side. Bath time is our favorite family time activity! Actually, I think Daddy likes bath time the most. Daddy won't let Mommy give you a bath without him being there. Daddy loves you so much and loves to be apart of all your new experiences.You love the binkies that your Aunt Stacie and Uncle Kyle gave you. I bought you 3 binkies, that I think are really cute. However, you don't want to have anything to do with them. You only want your green binkies. Thank you Aunt Stacie and Uncle Kyle!

You have discovered that you can suck on your thumb! Mommy wasn't getting you fed fast enough, so you found something that would keep you comforted while you had to wait. Daddy has taught you to hold your binkie in your mouth by placing your hand over your binkie. You obviously want to make sure your thumb doesn't fall out of your mouth and are holding your hand in place.You have discovered your tongue and love to always be using it. Whether you are eating, hanging out or sleeping, your tongue is always showing. You are such a fast learner and so strong. Your Daddy loves to teach you new things and is always working with you. In a month he has taught you how to hold your head up and how to move your head while on your tummy. Now, your Mommy and Daddy are working on rolling over with you. We can't believe how mobile you are already and how close you are to rolling over. Here you are on your side, which you got there with minimal help. Daddy and I think you will be walking within a couple months :)

You love going to watch Daddy play softball. You and Mommy sit by the outfield, so that we can see Daddy make all of his amazing catches and throw the ball to get an out. Daddy always tells us how much he loves looking through the fence and seeing us watching him. Softball is our Monday night family time and we all have so much fun!

You love having visitors over, especially family. Your Uncle Mark and Cousin Kaylen loved visiting you and holding you.

You loved celebrating Mommy's 27th birthday!!!! We had a great day with Daddy, building the patio and planting the beautiful flowers and shrubs in the background. Daddy, you and me worked as a family to build this area of our yard.

Lucas.....Daddy and I love you so much! You have completed our lives and have helped us to become better people. I can't believe a month has gone by so fast and I am a little sad that you are getting so big so fast. However, we look forward to all the fun times we will have in your second month!

We love you little man,

Mommy and Daddy
