Looks like Dad could use a lesson with the sippy cup as well
Yummy green food now

Waiting patiently for my food

No the spoon doesnt go all the way down your throut

So Many Firsts

(#1) Lucas' first tooth is almost through his gums, he won't let me look at it but I can feel it, sharp little thing.

Went for a walk in the bush in the back pack and (#2) actually fell asleep for a little while. Doesn't look too comfy!

(#3) Lucas played in the sand on the weekend and (#4) put his feet in the ocean. The sand was awesome, it was all I could do to keep his hands out of his mouth in the end I gave up and he ate a bit, not a whole handful so he should be ok. After being on the beach we went and cleaned off his feet in the fountain and had a few photo ops!

(#5)Went to a new church on Sunday that Lucas thought was amazing - 4 huge T.V screens for him to look at and lots of singing for him to hum along to. On the way home he fell asleep in the car (#6) without even crying!

What a great weekend!!! Summer is just around the corner - gave us a sneak preview the last couple of days - I can't wait for the beach weather to kick into high gear.

Went swimming again with Dad and this time Downey and Sarah came along - Lucas was more interested in the pictures on the wall than Sarah but we are getting there. He is getting more comfortable in the water and has started to let go of his fists and relax a bit. He even tried to roll over - doesn't work quite as well as when you are on the floor but he tried - dunked his ear in the pool.

I am going to have to find some fun activities for tomorrow - Monday's are always so boring for Lucas Dad goes back to work and Mom doesn't have anything on, poor kid.

Good Old Photos

Maybe Winter isn't all that bad, actually looks kind of pretty - we will see in December

I miss camping lots, although I don't miss the bugs

This picture reminded me a lot of lucas - especially today - he cried a lot

Wasn't Peter a cutie!! Reminds me a lot of lucas

Cory must have been pretty funny when we were young! Smile reminds me a lot of lucas

I love my Mom!

Hi Mom,

I hope that you are enjoying my singing each morning between 5:30 and 6:00 as I try to sing with the birds that are in the pheniox palm down the street. All that singing does get me hungry though so I can't wait to see you in the morning. Its also lots of fun to wake dad up in the morning espically since you taught me to splash now I can splash him on the head to get up and feed me some fruit!

Once Dad leaves I'm so excited to spend the day with that sometimes I forget to sleep but look at the fun we have:

We can take a bath or a shower! (Note those are not Mom's legs!)

You also have the chance to get a workout and carry me around the house which I always seem to enjoy. Its also fun when you carry me and we push the buggy around!

We can also go outside and play on the deck or the grass if it's a nice day out! Have to remember to wear my sun hat (Doog hat) though!

And don't forget about all the fun we ok I have eating lunch everyday mmm

We also get to visit my friends at coffeegroup, go swimming, play on the floor, read books, go to the mall, walk around the block, listen to the bass from the neighbours cars (not fun) and even manage a nap the odd time.

Thanks for all the fun times Mom!

Happy Birthday Grandma

Although Lucas had a busy day today with his mom (which means no time for sleep right Lucas!) he wanted to wish his Grandma a very special birthday. Not being sure what to get her Lucas decided to make her a cake. As seen above things have gone a bit sideways in his first attempt but don't worry although he is seeing red he is looking forward to trying some new foods to eat before having another go at it.

Anyway a big happy birthday Grandma sorry we couldn’t be there to enjoy it with you especially since you got to go out to Mandarin with Opa and Aunt Anita. Lucas man would have loved to go there as he loves to eat (must be from Opa!) eating three meals a day already and then needing water to rinse it down. He has started on the green food and is losing his orange glow. Well that’s enough for Dad's first blog!

Lucas is Dutch Orange

Lucas' favourite place to sleep






Lazy afternoon in the hammock with Dad

Nice Cuddles



Apparently too much orange food can make your skin go orange. Oops, so we are moving to another colour for now. Lets see if he can go green next.

Routine???

"Can I havr dinner with this spoon?"


"Who do you think I look like?"


Like a little bird waiting for food, mouth wide open


"Check out my new high chair"


"Need help making dinner Mom?"


So we are trying to get into some sort of a routine - first day not working so well but not as bad as I expected either, apparently the second day is always the worst when you start something new so we will see, maybe I should have started it on a Friday so Peter could be around for the second day. Oh well we do what we can
