Da Da da da da

Lucas has been toying around with the "d" sound for some time now (mostly in his cries), but this morning he started saying da da da...!!!!! He is so funny... he will start out whispering d, d, d and then he will let out a (short) string of da da da da. So cute!!!!

It's getting better!

Well, we stuck with the big boy baths in the tub without giving in and going back to the sink... and it is getting better! We just had to figure out what works for us.... Lucas likes to sit in the blue seat (with a towel around the front piece to provide comfort when he "scoots") with the water up high for optimal splashing and playing with toys. Then, we let all the water out except for a couple of inches and he sits on a big sponge while I bathe him... much easier to get to all of him, and it is much easier to lean him back so the shampoo and water don't get in his eyes. It is killing my back, but we have a squeaky clean (and happy) boy!

Not as easy as I thought it would be...

I tried giving Lucas his bath in the big tub last night (his sink baths have become more difficult... I am the one who generally ends up soaked head to toe these days.. lol). It did not go over so well. I thought the transition would be so smooth; I never expected it to be harder! First of all, Lucas wasn't fond of the seat... he kept wiggling and I was afraid he was going to hurt himself... hard plastic doesn't show mercy the way that the soft things he is accustomed to do. Then, he couldn't reach the rubber ducks floating in the water.. and I couldn't get underneath him to bathe all his "2000 parts"..... oh my .... it was a disaster! I am most certain we will be back in the sink tonight.... I am open for any suggestions.....

Two Handsome Guys!

I had high hopes for a Father's Day "photo shoot," but it didn't pan out.... I did capture this goodie though!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, David! Lucas and I adore you! Lucas is so lucky to have to have you as his daddy!!!

Happy Father's Day to the other dads in our lives, too.... Big Daddy (my daddy), PawPaw (David's dad), and PaPa (my granddaddy)! I hope it is a great day for all of you!... we are coming for visits.. soon!

Pictures to come...

Yum Yum!

Lucas loved his first teething biscuit. It made me a little nervous giving him something so "solid," but he knew just what to do and he chowed down on it! :o)
