Big Brother

Yes, it's true. Lucas is going to be a big brother. We used this shirt (Soon to be BIG BROTHER, ETA April 2009) to tell our families the news. I'm due April 3rd. We had an ultrasound last week, to check out how far along I am and the baby is the bump at the bottom of the black circle. We are very excited to be pregnant again, but a little scared about the idea of having kids 14 months apart. I'm glad because I think they will be very close and easily able to entertain each other, after they get a little older, but there is going to be some time of chaos as well. But life would be boring without a little chaos every once in a while :)

7 months old

Lucas turned 7 months old this weekend. I know I've said it before, but my how time flies. He is getting more and more of a personality and you can never predict what will tickle him enough to make him laugh. This week it is Mommy running in place in the kitchen :) We moved his mattress down today because he had figured out how to pull up on the rail and it was getting close to being dangerous. He loves to hold our hands and walk around and the past few days he has been doing raspberries constantly. Check out the video of him walking and doing raspberries at the same time.

Standing

Lucas loves to stand now. He's not the interested in learning to crawl. He stands at the window and bangs on it. He stands next to the couch and bangs on it. He loves to stand next to coffee tables and bang on them too. So after we noticed a trend, we bought him this little Learning table and he loves it. He is also walking all over the house holding our hands. We are in trouble :)

Las Vegas

Well, we left Lucas overnight for the first time and took off to Vegas. Actually I had a conference for work on Monday and Tuesday so we flew out on Saturday and back on Wednesday. We had a great time. Lucas stayed with both sets of Grandparents over the weekend and did great. We missed him a bunch and we are glad to be home. Here's a pic of us in front of the waterfall at the new Wynn hotel after one of our fabulous dinners. We brought Lucas back a Cookie Monster, since he loves the Seasme Street characters so much.

Jumperoo

Our neighbors let Lucas borrow their Jumperoo and he loves it. It took him a couple of days to figure out the motion and now he is jumping all the time. There are some colorful animals on the sides that he loves to look at and tries to touch too. Check out the jumping video, just ignore Mommy and Daddy's silly comments.
