Green posion

I think that Mommy and Daddy are trying to poison me. Normally they give me yummy food like homemade sweet potatoes, though they did try to give me green beans for a while until I got it through their heads that I wasn't a fan. Tonight I was all excited to eat, sitting up in my high chair, until Daddy tried to pull a fast one. He gave me something green that was not green beans or sweet potatoes. It was so gross I refused to dignify that with even closing my mouth to swallow. Mommy called it peas. I don't care if Mommy and Daddy took the time to cook it fresh for me, it's gross! Here watch the video and see. I hope they don't try that again anytime soon.

Happy Easter Lucas

I have spent a wonderful weekend with Nana, Aunt Jamie, Aunt Jordie and Uncle Mike. I got to spend the night at Aunt Jordie and Uncle Mike's place. They have a little cat named Cooper and a big dog named Moby. Moby liked me alot and couldn't help but to give me big wet dog kisses. Aunt Jordie took everyone to first watch for brunch so she could show me off to the people that she works with. I was fascinated with this one lady who had a beautiful foreign accent. I think she liked me too. =) Then we went to Nana's house and hung out with Aunt Jamie while Aunt Jordie and Uncle Mike went to a wedding. On Sunday the Easter bunny brought me a basket with lots of cool stuff in it. It had a baby food mill and a book called Feed Me I'm Yours so Mommy can start making me baby food to eat. I'm so excited! I also got a piano that plays music and lights up along with some silly penguin that I can bat around as he tried to fall down. Aunt Jordie got me a cute outfit that says pinch me I'm cute with a crab on it. I'm sure the beach babes are going to love it. Daddy got an air horn in his Easter basket and he keeps trying to scare the dog and cats with it. I think Mommy is going to take it away if he doesn't stop soon.

Lucas goes camping

Mommy and Daddy took me camping for the first time last weekend. We went to Alexander Springs in Ocala. It was pretty fun. On Friday Daddy packed the car full of camping and baby gear which was high that you couldn't see out the back. On the way to the campground the jug of water almost fell on Melanie when Daddy had to put on the brakes. She was so scared she jumped into Mommy's lap in the front seat. Daddy fixed it so it wouldn't fall on her again, but she kept one eye on it the whole trip there. When we got to the campsite our friends had already started to set up camp. Uncle Chad, Aunt Tara, Cooper, Derek, Dan, and Brigid were all there waiting for us (since we had to stove needed to make dinner). We got our tent all set up and Mommy gave me dinner while everyone cooked. I passed out early, but Mommy said everyone ate dinner and hung out around the campfire. It was cold Friday night. Mommy had me all bundled up so I wasn't very chilly, but her and Daddy sure snuggled close (even after I squeezed in between them). They realized the error of their ways (too many layers of clothes worn to bed and nothing between the air mattress and the ground) and figured out a better way to sleep sat night that was much warmer. On Sat we went for a walk on a typical Florida trail. Mommy showed off her mad skills because she could feed me and walk at the same time. Go Mommy! Mommy and Daddy had to take turns carrying me because I'm starting to get heavy and they forgot the snugglie at home. The next time we went for a walk Mommy and Daddy used their bed sheet to make a snugglie/wrap to help hold me close in order to save their arms. Sat afternoon Daddy and the boys went for a swim in the chilly spring. I wanted to go too, but Mommy said it would be too cold for me so I stayed behind with Cooper and Uncle Chad and decided to take a nap in the hammock with Mommy. I think I like camping except for some little bug called a tick that got on me and Daddy from our earlier walk. I thought Mommy was going to freak out. Daddy said it was little and we found it right away and told Mommy not to worry. She called the pediatrician who said it was fine unless I started not feeling well or acting funny. Even with that, overall it was a very relaxing weekend. On Sunday after breakfast it started to rain for a few minutes. No one seemed too happy about collapsing camping gear while it sprinkled. At least they got it all down before it started to pour.

Daddy is so silly it makes me laugh

In a rare moment of silliness, Daddy shows me the finer points of "Baby Eating".  Silly Daddy, you don't eat babies!  I gave him a few courtesy laughs so that he would leave me alone.  Daddy is pretty embarrassing, but I guess I will let him hang around for a few years...just for the laughs.

Daddy teaches me to High 5...sorta :)

Happy Valentines Day

We had a great Valentines Day weekend. Nana and Aunt Jamie came in and surprised Mommy with a visit. We had lots of fun. Daddy and Mommy made each other cards this year since Daddy doesn't like to spend money on a "fake" holiday (even though he bought Mommy flowers a few days later to show her that he really does love her). Mommy and Daddy said that I was the best Valentine ever. Nana and Aunt Jamie agreed.

mmm what's this?

Merry Christmas and Happy New year

I love holiday time. I get to spend time with my family, watch everyone eat lots of food, and see so many pretty decorations. Nana, Aunt Jamie, and Aunt Jordanne came and stayed with us for almost the whole week. Grandma and Grandpa came over for Christmas day and spent the night too. I got to see lots of people over the holidays and they all wanted to play with me. I love getting all the attention even though sometimes they wear me out and Mommy has to put me to sleep when I can't stand it any longer. I got these things called presents all wrapped up in paper that you have to tear open. I even got a few from that guy Santa that I met last month when I sat on his lap. I slept through Christmas morning, but I woke up with enough time to open all my presents. I got more presents than both Mommy and Daddy; that's because I'm so cute. Then Aunt Tara, Uncle Chad, and Cooper came over for New Years. Danae and Morghan also came over too. I had fun playing with Cooper until it was time for us to go to bed. I fell asleep on Morghan while everyone was looking pretty silly playing wii. I missed the ball dropping for new years, but I woke up to everyone playing with long sparkling sticks. I can't wait for the next holiday time so I can have more fun with my friends and family. Right now I'm working on entertaining Mommy and Daddy. They like to look at me and stick out their tongue. I think its funny so I stick mine out too. I also love talking to them. They don't seem to understand what I am saying, but hopefully they will catch on soon. Speaking of which I better get going, my fishies are swimming around on my swing without me.
