6 Months!

Lucas is 6 months old now!
A few facts about our cute little boy:
This picture above is of his new tooth! It's pretty hard to see but it's his bottom right tooth (on the left side of the picture). Maybe clicking on it and making it bigger will help you see it.

He weighs in at an even 15lbs and a nice lean 27inches.

He loves to nurse, but he is expanding his palate to sweet potatoes and the ever important root beer and root beer floats. However, he will try anything once, including things that aren't technically food.

He can pretty much crawl now and he loves his newfound mobility.

He is really good at putting himself to sleep and he loves to roll around in his crib and talk to himself.

He LOVES to talk on the phone. If the phone rings, he always thinks it's for him and wants to talk to anyone who's on the phone. Once he gets started telling his stories, he doesn't want to stop. His Grandma Rigby and he sure know how to carry on a good conversation!

He likes it when daddy rocks him to sleep at night by holding him really tight and singing to him.

He loves to play with daddy more than anything! When the two of them get going all you can hear is giggles. His favorite is when daddy "gets him" and tickles him.

Lucas also has a newfound love of books. I think his favorite is Dr Seuss' "Hand hand fingers thumb."

He loves singing songs. His favorites are Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree, The Itsy bitsy spider, and Once there was a snowman (especially when the snowman is melting).

He also loves to cuddle and watch Disney movies.

He likes learning. When he is upset, all I have to do is count for him or practice his sign language and he gets all excited.

A continuation from the last post... Here he is with more stuff in his mouth. He does this funny thing with his tongue when he is holding a ring so that it stays in his mouth. It makes him drool more, if that's possible.

This is the only picture I got of him with this ring in his mouth, so he looks a little funny, but here it is in all its glory.

The little cutie thinks these are blankies. He cuddles them in his crib and usually has one in his mouth.
