Swimming Lessons

Lucas takes swimming lessons every Saturday at 9:30am. He loves his baths so I thought hey lets check out some "mommy and me" swimming classes. It is a six week session and he loves it! He was a little unsure at first due to it being much different than a small bath tub, but he got used to it quickly and really enjoys it. He even goes under water! He is learning how to float, go underwater, kick his feet, and just get comfortable being in the water. Most of all it is a nice 1/2 hour of bonding time for us which I really enjoy.

4 Months Old

Lucas is now 4 months old and is more enjoyable than ever! I swear he is doing something new every day now. He giggles, coos and babbles, holds his toys, knows his name,pushes up on his arms, etc. He is really interactive now and loves to talk and talk. He went to his check-up and is definitely healthy weighing in at 19lbs. 3 oz and is 27 1/4 inches long. He is HUGE!!! He is off the charts and basically the size of an average 8 month old, however, wearing 9 - 12 month clothes! What a daddy's boy!! At age 13 he will be able to pick me up! He has started on solid foods now and we are up to peaches, prunes, peas, and cereal.




He is loving it and is sleeping thru the night again...thankfully! We have gotten to the point where he falls asleep on his own in his crib. No more rocking for 30 minutes while crying and fighting sleep. It is sooooo wonderful!

My First Trip to PA

Last week I got to go on my first big travel adventure! I was so excited to go to Butler, PA and see my family, but was also sad because my great-grandma passed away and I never got to meet her. My mommy and daddy waited until my bedtime to leave for the big car ride so I would sleep. I did really good except for about half way in when I woke up because I was uncomfortable in my car seat. I cried for a little bit but mommy was able to get my calmed down and I slept the rest of the way. We stayed at my Great Aunt Judy and Uncle Smiley's house. They have a crib for me and everything. I got to see all my extended family and meet all kinds of new people. It was great! I got so much attention and love especially from Mee Maw and Grandpa!









I got to go to the funeral home once but I was too little to go to the funeral so I got to stay with my cousins and play. I can't wait until I grow up big like them. They have so many fun toys.




I heard so many stories about my great-grandma. She sounded like a really funny, caring and loving lady. She did all kinds of fun things up until she got sick like bowling and playing cards. She was even buried with her bowling ball and a deck of UNO cards. I hope she was able to see me from heaven. We would have had fun together. I think she might have even fed me chocolate pudding! One of the stories I heard was that she fed my cousin chocolate pudding when he was a baby because she insisted he was hungry and that is why he wasn't sleeping and was crying. Yum Yum, sounds good, all I get is this yucky formula!

After a really busy few days it was time to come back home. I got to ride in a big airplane. Mommy was so worried that I would cry the whole time, but I slept the whole way through it. It was nice to get back home to all of my toys that I missed.

I look forward to my next big trip to Butler this summer!!
