If there's any one thing to know about Lucas, it's that he'll do things on HIS own time :) No matter how much you beg and ask and try to persuade him, he'll consistently give you that look which says, "Just because you want me to, doesn't mean I'm going to do it"! He's been crawling for quite some time, and walking around the edges of couches and chairs & along walls, but finally, after much convincing and cheering and reassurance, he took a few steps and hasn't looked back since! He walking everywhere! We're so proud! He's so cute too because you'll notice how he uses his t-shirt to 'balance' him while he's cruising around. He's been walking a for about a month now, so check him out:
We also took a road trip back home and Lucas did so great! He was such a trooper for the entire ride & constantly kept us entertained with his jibberish and babbling words :)
As always, he was Mema's constant companion. My mom would sit him in the sink while they'd cook together (something she used to always do with us kids) and he'd just play and talk her ear off.
He loves, and I mean LOVES, his Aunt Nicole! He was googely-eyed the entire trip, flashing his sweet dimples and batting his eyes at her anytime she'd come in to the room. It was so sweet to watch :) He had a blast with all of his cousins too!
Finally, you can't make the trip official without a trip to Mema's pool! Lucas was caked on with sunscreen & the adorable hat, and away he went! He loved sitting on the steps with me, kicking and splashing his tiny toes in the water, and would hang on to me so tight as soon as we'd go all the way in. We would take frequent snack breaks (surprise, surprise) so the little man could get re-energized, and back in to the pool we'd go! Daddy couldn't make this trip with us because he had to work, but Lucas made sure to say hello to him in the video below :)
