Pediatric Appointment

We had our two month appointment today. He grew quite a bit from last time and I updated his height and weight on the other page. Basically, he grew twice his size in two months. I'm very happy that he is a good eater.

On another note, thank you to everyone for the holiday wishes and the holiday gifts. Lucian is constantly growing everyday; physically and mentally. It is amazing and I'm thankful toward everyone who has been a part of it. I will upload pictures from the holiday when I get the chance.

Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

From Lucian, Holly, Joe

Christmas Eve

Well, the holidays are finally here. Lucian has been gassy and pretty much attached to his mommy (not that I mind). Though I did manage to bake cookies yesterday. I hope he will feel better today and this evening. I wouldn't want the little guy to spend his first Christmas in misery. Not to mention I can't wait to dress him up a bit and try on the hat I made him. You'll have to wait for the pictures...

Even though he isn't old enough to really understand that it is a holiday and what the point of everything is - he still got a few presents. Lucky him!

Daddy is Here

Daddy is officially here. Lucian and him are trying to get used to each other again. So far it is going alright. Joe has already been puked on. Got to love it :)

Daddy is coming

Daddy is coming in two days and Lucian is very excited. They have been talking on the phone. Lucian gets excited when he hears daddy's voice on the phone - it's really cute. I can't wait to see how they react to each other. Lucian is a lot bigger than the last time Joe saw him. And I want to see if Lucian will recognize Joe's face or his voice when he gets here. We will see.

Lucian had some belly time today to work on those neck muscles and prepare him for the world of mobility. He liked it for a little bit. His legs were going like crazy, and he was working really hard to push up with his arms. It's a lot of fun watching him - even if he eventually gets frustrated.

Getting Bigger

Lucian has officially gown out of his smaller clothes. He has been growing quickly and is now in the 3-6 month clothes section. Its hard to believe. I can't wait to find out how much he has grown at his next ped appointment. Two months is coming up real soon! Just in time for Christmas.

New:

He has been getting better at holding his head up. He will be flipping himself over and crawling in no time.

We have toys hanging on his carseat. They are colorful bugs - a butterfly and a dragonfly. He has recently discovered that he can hit the bugs and they swing around. It keeps him entertained to say the least.

Pictures

I've added some pictures to the pictures page. I will do what I can to update more frequent pics. The way the page is set up makes it difficult to add pictures in large quantities and the way that I'd like so hang in there for me please.

Updates about Lucian:

He has been steadily working on holding his head up, making lots of noise, and discovering new things. He was sleeping on his stomach for awhile (the only way he would sleep), but lately has been okay on his back.

Current Likes: Christmas tree and lantern lights, music, being held while walking or rocking, sitting up (with help), baths, stretching out his legs, and eating.

Current Dislikes: Being left alone, wearing hats, people moving his legs/arms for him, and not having access to his hands.

Welcome

This page is meant to give updated information to family and friends. I hope it does the trick. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the page work for me - so it might not be the easiest.

Right now we are in Pennsylvania. Daddy will be joining us on December 17th. We will all be returning to Indiana after the holidays.
