Tera & Shom Visit

A couple of Nathan's former hall directors, now friends, Tera and Show came over for dinner last night. It was great to see them and catch up. (Congrats again to Tera on her new job.) Nathan grilled salmon and we enjoyed a beautiful evening on the deck. Lucas also enjoyed the evening has he didn't go long without being in someone's arms. Here's Lucas sleeping in Tera's arms.

Shom gave Lucas a bottle...or two...boy that kid can eat; Shom was a natural and had a good time.

Thanks for joining us for dinner...and making Nathan sweat a bit!

Bath Time

We were worried after giving Lucas his first bath that bath time would be challenging as he cried the entire time. In hindsight, I either had the water too warm or he was unsure of what was going on because he hasn't really cried during a bath since. Now we really enjoy giving him a bath.

Lucas enjoys the bath so much that he takes a nap during them. Okay, he's not sleeping here or ever during a bath but you can see how relaxed...and cute...he is here.

Our friend Amy O. made Lucas this hooded bath towel and matching wash clothes. The towel keeps him warm and makes Erin happy with how adorable he looks in it. Thanks Amy!

Time with Daddy

Every day when Nathan gets home from work he heads straight to Lucas to give him a kiss and say hi...and more often than not he picks him up and talks about their days. I know Lucas enjoys the attention and feels so loved, and I have to say I love watching them together too.

Some of the other activities Nathan enjoys including Lucas on are walking up the driveway to get the mail, helping him get ready in the morning, and falling asleep in the chair while watching TV. I want to take a picture of them every night because it's so cute but I try to contain myself. This one was worthy of sharing though because Lucas was giving Nathan a hug.

I also enjoyed this moment...Nathan is willing to do anything for his son. We spent last Sunday evening at the Obalil's house (they had a Memorial Day weekend gathering) and Nathan hung a blanket over him to keep the sun off Lucas. Such a good daddy.

This picture doesn't involve Nathan but Lucas is giving us a serious Nathan face while wearing little bunnies on his feet. (Thanks Auntie Kristi for the cute sleeper...love the bunny feet!)

Cutie

Our little cutie isn't looking so little any more. Here are some of our recent favorite moments/photos.

Stacy and Steve Visit

Last weekend Auntie Stacy and Uncle Steve flew down to meet Lucas. I think they had a good time holding and hanging with Lucas...and he enjoyed all the love and attention. We went to a baseball game, grilled out, the boys went golfed, played games, and had ice cream at the Spotted Cow. All in all, we kept busy and had a great time.

 Stacy and Lucas hanging...Lucas in his 'chill' position.

Stacy and Steve took Lucas' last feeding one night and got to hold him until he woke up for his midnight feeding. (Thanks again for letting us go to bed early!)

I had to get a picture of the family redheads together. Lucas has joined a group of good looking guys.

Stacy and Steve needed to document their trip to the Spotted Cow by taking a picture with the cow in his sunglasses.

Time with Mommy

Lucas and I had some alone time this week while Nathan was at work. There is nothing better than when he falls asleep on my chest...it's great bonding time.

Lucas is a good sleeper and strikes different poses throughout his naps...this is his cool guy pose.

The weather was wonderful this week...perfect for going out for walks. After getting some training from my sister (Elicia) on using the Moby Wrap I attempted to get Lucas wrapped up and ready for a walk. I got him wrapped up but it didn't feel very secure...but we made it work and enjoyed the morning walk. The down side is my hip hasn't felt right since...hanging up the Moby for awhile.

Photo Shoot with Auntie Elicia

Before Auntie Elicia left town she captured some great pictures of Lucas...thanks Elicia! I just love all the fun and cute faces he makes, even when he's sleeping. He can smile while sleeping...and it melts our hearts. :)
