Just a Little Note.

I took Lucas in last week for his 15mth check up. (WOW, 15 months!) The doctor was again pleased with his development. Lucas has finally leveled out on the growth charts. He weighs 33lbs 7oz. Only 2lb 2oz gain from his 12 month check up. Usually the charts show where the average child is and Lucas is WAY above. Not this time. He's only slightly higher. His height is 34.5". SERIOUSLY!!!! My child is just under 3ft tall. YIKES!

He is really starting to grow into his own little person. I spend 90% of my day laughing at him or playing with him or just getting him to smile, which isn't that hard. He is walking/running everywhere, grabbing EVERYTHING and wants to do everything himself. You can't hold him (unless he's tired) or feed him. You can't show him how anything works. Lucas loves building with his blocks and then knocking them over. His vocabulary is incredible. Lucas can clearly say the following and he knows who or what they are:

*Mama, Mommy, Mom
*Dada, Dad
*PaPa (Grandpa)
*Auntie Ash
*Nik
*Bottle
*Puppy
*Happy
*Zeus (Our puppy's name)
*Yes
*No (his favorite lately)
*Why (another favorite)
*Mine
*Ball
*Kitty Kitty

I'm sure there are even more but those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. It is so amazing to watch him grow up. Even if it does make me sad at times.

We bring home our puppy on June 12th. Prior to that Ashley, my Mom and I are preparing for Nikki's baby shower on June 6th. I can't believe how fast it is approaching. I'll be rocking a new born baby girl in my arms before I know it. Can't wait for my little niece to be born!

Ralph's new job is awesome. He loves being out on a golf course taking care of the greens. He's up and out of the house by 5:45am and home by 2pm. Mom is still babysitting for us and I swear she enjoys this more than her full time job. But then again, who wouldn't?

Here are a few new pictures.




I swear the car was in park...We were waiting for the rain to let up!
