The Thomas Times: Labor Day Weekend

We had a wonderful long Labor Day Weekend together; it was a great mix of relaxing and getting out of the house. Lucas had fallen asleep on my lap one night and he stayed sleeping long enough to find his old spot on Daddy's chest. It's hard to believe he's already "growing out" of things. This picture brings tears of joy and sorrow as I know how much Nathan enjoyed the hours they spent together like this and that he misses it; SO glad I could capture this moment.

Lucas has done several new things in the past week or so. He has a great surprised face...look at how big those eyes are. :) But I took the picture to capture the fact that he grabs his toes...he'd been working on it for a bit and finally got it. He also grabs and holds on to the birds on his play gym.

Nathan put together his jumperoo seat on Friday night. Lucas' feet barely touch the ground but he likes to move around and bounce in it.

On Saturday the rain was really coming down so Lucas and I watched it for a while...he really likes to check things out. The day cleared up in time for us to celebrate Lauren O's 30th birthday over dinner. Here are a couple pictures of Lucas "dressed up" and "playing" with Harper; it's funny, every picture I have of them together Lucas is just staring at Harper.
