Spaghetti Play

Homeboy is notorious for making a royal mess (basically wherever he goes!). The first time around, Mommy was still a newb and didn't cover him enough. This time, thanks to Ikea's 2 for $5 smocks (well worth the money), it was much easier to clean this little rascal up.

Lucas' Little ...

Sister! Notice the family is decked out in pink for this momentous occasion. This pink might also work well for a future family photo shoot too! hmmm...

Anyway, we're excited to know that Mommy was wrong with her "I have no real explanation" feeling - baby #2 is NOT a boy but a girl. Now Daddy will soon have a Daddy's girl!

Preschool: Day/Week 3

3 days/weeks done... 5 more to go! Did I mention that Mondays are super draining for this preggos mother?

 It's so cool that Luke can stand (and walk) now, I can finally dress him up in big boy shoes!

 

 Everyone was supposed to sit on their mama's lap... 

PB&J... can't go wrong with that.

 Still loving the sandbox and that weird feeling of sand running through the fingers.

 Going to school is hard work... play, circle time, eat, play, circle time.

Big boys carry their own lunchbox home!

Preschool: Day/Week 2

Another tiring Monday... did I mention that I have a greater respect for preschool teachers now? 

This week, Mommy decided that Lukey would be decked out in Star Wars gear (along with a matching lunch bag!).

He's over the stacking blocks this week (perhaps the boy caught on and realized that if he pretended to be less smart, his parents wouldn't push him to learn more).

 Instead, homeboy discovered the sandbox and that sand is awesome! Trucks that carry sand are awesome as well! What's not awesome is taking off his shoes and having sand all over the floor.

The Working Hipster

Ever since Mommy & Daddy found out that Luke had potential and could become an engineer in the future (high school internship at Apple?), they've been putting him to work! Here he is catching bugs (not the insect ones) with Daddy. Daddy must've put him hard at work because Luke completely zonked out on the car ride home.

Since Luke is a partial working man now, he now has more money to buy awesome hipster outfits (with the help of Mommy). Who else is digging the argyle socks and plaid shorts?

First Day of Preschool

I never thought this day would come so quickly! My boy's only a little over 14 months old and he's already going to school. He's all grown up now... Fortunately (sorta), this is Mommy + Me preschool so I'm with him the whole time while he gets used to a school-like environment for the future.

Here he is with his nearly lifetime buddy, Chloe.

He's obsessed with stacking cups! The teacher said that he is advanced in stacking; stacking equates to early math skills. Our boy might be an engineer like his father...

Stacking to his heart's desire!

 Examining his stick of cheese during snack/lunch time.

Zonked out after school. 

Summer's Over

... and Lucas is 14 months old (whatta man, whatta mighty good man). 

Little homeboy seems to be happier since we moved to a bigger place. He gets to run around more, he gets his own play room (before it's converted into his toddler room), and he has an outdoor area to splash around without getting in trouble (instead of splashing around in the toilet). 

 

 

This month, Lucas finally learned that he can stand on his own without the help of anyone AND he has taken a few mini steps here and there. We're on our way to walking soon... He's also outgrown his Robeez and I've converted him to Crocs. Oh boy, my boy sure is growing up fast!

He also went to his first Giant's game (Star Wars day) on Labor Day as well. We posed with some characters, however, Darth Vader seemed to scare him a bit. I hope he likes the Vader twin sheets I picked out for him for his future toddler bed...
