Straws: He has his own bag of straws that he can play with.  He likes to chew on them, stack them in piles, put them in thinks, and, of course, drink from them.

Phineas and Ferb: Still enjoys his favorite show.  And occasionally requests to watch the movie.  He will either bring the remote or movie to us depending on which one he wants to watch. Smart cookie.

Cars:  He is starting to show an interest in matchbox style cars. A new game for him is to roll cars down the cellar door out back.

Dirt: Not only does he like to cover himself with dirt when he gets the chance, but he also likes to dig in it with the hand shovel.  Sometimes he gets the rocks or water involved too.


He's getting so big and has a wonderful personality.  I can't help but love him; even when he is beating up the cat or biting daddy. Fun times.

It's Hot and Humid

Now that the weather has been really warm (too warm really), we have been spending a lot of time outside.  We've already been at the pool and had a nice cookout. Mommy didn't go in - surprise surprise! But Grammy was able to get Lucian to go in for a nice cooling time. He seemed to enjoy it. I just bought him a sprinkler for out back.  I'm excited for it to get here Sat. He has been enjoying the hose and activity table.  I think a sprinkler will definitely set it over the top!

Lately, Lucian has been lucky enough to be able to enjoy ice cream.  We usually don't get it often, but lately we've been indulging.  Lucky for Lucian, indeed. We even ran into the ice cream truck one evening at the playground.  Nothing like some high fructose corn syrup to end the day! I guess he doesn't eat as well as I once dreamed. He's doing well so I can't complain too much.  Plus it wasn't like we had a repeat of the jellybean fiasco. I guess I'll have to tell that story sometime.

May May Go Away

Though May is usually a nice month, and it hasn't been so bad.  Right now I'm ready for it to pass.  Lucian has been sick and grumpy.  We are all lacking sleep.  I only say this because I'm lacking sleep.  I'm sure it will be better in a few days and then I can really enjoy the hot weather we've been having. We are all looking forward to some outside time at the pool (please open soon). I would love to post more but Lucian just threw a bottle at me and is now rolling around on the floor crying.  Poor Lucian.  Better days to come.
