I'm trying my hand at this blog thing again. I think that it is a great way to share stories about our life with our family. While we are not that far away from everyone, we don't see many of our family members often enough. This is a way for them to see our little boy grow and for us to share the joy of being parents.
It's so hard to believe that Lucas will be one year old in 2 days. This past year has flown by and has been the best year of our lives. Lucas is precious and has added so much enjoyment to our lives. He's growing and doing new things every day. Yesterday, he began saying "thank you" every time you hand something to him. This is his first 2-word sentence. He also has learned to do the twist every time music starts to play on one of his toys. We don't know where he learned that. We all know that Brad and I don't have a lick of rhythm. Lucas is so sweet. He gives us lots of kisses now. Everytime he kisses me, he says "oomwaa". He especially loves to give kisses to his grandaddy!
We have a big birthday planned for him this Friday. He is having a birthday party with his friends at Judy's house. He's having a cupcake cake and fruit punch. He's giving all of his friends treat bags so that they can share in the fun!!! He has a really good time with the other children there. He has learned to share toys and play well with all of the others. One little boy in particular, Quentin, and him have become big buddies. Lucas and him just giggle at each other and toss toys back and forth every morning when they see each other. They are 7 months apart in age, but they're not a lot different in size. I think that Lucas is actually talking more than he is. They are really cute to watch.
I've included a few pictures from his big birthday party this past Sunday. Lucas was exhausted, but enjoyed all of the attention!!! He loved all of his gifts and has a hard time choosing which one to play with. He has been pushing one toy with one hand and pulling another one with the other hand. It's so funny. He never has taken an interest in his cake. I don't think he's going to be a big sweets eater. He shakes every time that I give him something that is really sweet, but he loved the taste of pickles!!! Go figure.
