Lucas's First Hair Cut

A couple of weeks ago we finally took Lucas to get his haircut. I was really nervous that we would end up with someone that didn't listen to what we wanted and would just chop his hair into a boys cut. The salon was definitely targeted to little kids it had little cars to sit in and he picked the yellow, but was pretty upset when another kid came in and sat in his red car. I think he was planning on trying all three. They also had tv's set up so he would watch sesame street and hopefully sit still. Things went great and we love his new haircut it really makes a big difference.

18 month pictures

We got Lucas's pictures taken last month. A friend of mine, Danielle, took the pictures and really did such a great job. Especially since Lucas is not very cooperative and he fell and hit his face on a rock in the middle of the session. After we cleaned up the blood she was able to really capture Lucas's personality. Notice his clown like hair, I was worried that his hair would not be curly for pictures so I did a little hair spray maybe a little overboard. Thanks so much Danielle!

First Day at Nursery

On November 2, 2008 Lucas when to church nursery for the first time. We dropped him off and he just stood there a little overwhelmed, but once one of the helpers came and took his hand he walked right in. I was hoping to stay that day to see what he did and just have one last Sunday together, but when I asked if they needed help they told me no. So, I cried a little and then went on to the rest of the Sunday. I have to admit I forgot how to pay attention to Sunday School and I really missed Lucas. Afterwards I rushed to pick him up and they said he loved music time and the slide. Pretty much what I would have expected.

My little monkey

One day a few months ago I came in and found Lucas this way. I thought it was so funny that he had used his short leg's foot to feed himself. I imagined that is what happened since there was food on his foot. Ever since this happened he continues to act like a monkey: hanging on my back, flying through the air, loud noises...You get what I am saying. So I knew there was only one Halloween costume for him, a monkey.
To celebrate Halloween we went to the church "trunk or treat". It was so fun to have Lucas really enjoy the holiday he loved dressing up, and loved wondering around to get his next piece of candy to eat. After that we headed inside for some food and dancing. I don't think the activities committee planned to have dancing, but when Lucas hears music he feels it through his body and he can't help himself. He danced and played the night away surviving on sugar alone.
