Real Food, Crawling, and Grass

The computer issues have not been fully resolved, so it is kinda touch and go when I get to load pictures. Apparently, today is the day, so here is an update.
So, Lucas has begun to eat real food. He had his first rice cereal about 3 weeks ago. He was really excited about the whole process...

But he is VERY serious about eating. Very few smiles.

Lucas is such a cuddler, he usually falls asleep in his crib cuddling the bumper pads. Much like this.

First sweet potatoes. Again, very serious.

We put on some of Jared's old outfits to take pictures in them before Lucas outgrew them.
Great big smile doing the superman pose again. He is always in this position.Doing pushups.
Sitting up alone and sporting his kneepads. He can situp alone when he's not distracted by things that knock him over backward, like anything above or behind him.This is from the Fourth of July. We don't get to see the grass much in Vegas, but Lucas is a big fan, so whenever we are near it, he has to play in it.

This is a blurry pic of Lucas' first fireworks. You can see one on the right side of the pic. They were being shot off all over the valley, so we got up nice and high to be able to see them all. Lucas really seemed to like them, but he also didn't seem so sure as to what they were.

This video is of Lucas eating for the first time. You can see what I mean about our normally smiley boy getting all serious.

This is not his best attempt, but it's the best I have on video yet. You can see clearly how he picks his target (almost always the DVDs), pulls up his knees, rocks, scoots a knee or two forward, shifts his weight and reaches for his target. He can also easily change directions, as he demonstrates by finding me video taping him.
