Lucas - 8 Months Old

I am 2 weeks behind on this post. Man, I am a slacker!







Lucas @ 8 Months:
-Takes his last bottle around 8pm and sleeps from 8:30pm to about around 7 am.
-Is picking up puffs and feeding himself
-Loves eating yogurt!
-Has gained 2 more teeth in the past 3 weeks for a total of 4 teeth. He has had lots of low-grade fevers from these two teeth. YUCK!
-Is starting to feed himself his bottle
-Still shows no interest in crawling but likes to stand while holding on to something
-Took his first plane ride (more on that in a separate post)

Memorial Day Weekend 2012

We had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday we went over to my mom's for their annual memorial day BBQ for Rolling Thunder. They ride in the Rolling Thunder motorcycle ride every year. They always have the bbq on Saturday and ride in the parade on Sunday. Besse, Nate, Billy and Besse's parents were able to come this year and we were so glad to have them!

Here is a photo of Besse's mom (Jill) with the boys:

Daddy & a very happy Lucas



On Sunday, we headed over to The Dailer's community pool. It was Lucas' 1st time in a real pool. He did really well and we all had a great time!

Mothers Day 2012

I am a month behind on this post. Josh, Lucas and Cody gave me an amazing first mother's day. Well Cody says that it wasn't my first mother's day.

Lucas gave me my card the Thursday before Mother's Day



Once I opened the card, I found out I was going to the spa the next day! So exciting! Josh made this adorable little card with the spa package he picked and put Lucas' photo on it.



I love going to the Sugar House in Old Town, Alexandria. I got a few prenatal massages there when I was pregnant and really enjoyed them. This time I got a deep tissue massage, an amazing European facial and a manicure and pedicure. It was so relaxing!

On Sunday, we went to church and then the boys took me out to one of my favorite restaurants, Sweetwater Tavern. The photo we took at Sweetwater is not very good so I am not going to post it but here is Lucas enjoying himself in his high chair.



And last but not least, here are the beautiful flowers Josh got me.



My boys spoiled me rotten. Love them! I had a wonderful 1st Mother's Day!
