Repeat

Lucian is in a stage of repeatedly doing things. Mostly swinging chunks of plastic in mommy's general direction. Just one more reason not to appreciate polymers. At least I'm not the only one, the cow takes a beating too. He also likes to be in a seated position as much as possible. When he becomes mobile - I'm in trouble. Secretly, I can't wait.

Countdown

Lucian and Mommy are making a trip to go visit Daddy! We are very excited. This will be Lucian's first long trip and on an airplane none the less. Hopefully, all will go smoothly.

On another note, Lucian is getting bigger everyday. He likes to sit and stand up (not by himself). He doesn't like to be laying down - back or stomach. It gets frustrating that he wants to do it constantly because he is kind of heavy, but at the same time it is fun to watch him do it. Plus, that means I can take a break from carrying him. I think it has been helping his arms get stronger too. I'm starting to look into walkers or doorway jumpers. I think something like that would be fun for him, and free up my arms a bit. We aren't mobile yet.

Lucian the Big Boy

We had our 4 month visit to the doctor's office. I had a different nurse practitioner this time around - She was a lot nicer. I felt kind of bad because I didn't want to go due to our past visits and I kind of came off as a snobby butt. She was a lot more informational and she didn't nag me about anything; neither did the nurse. yay.

The kiddo is now 15 lbs 12 oz and 24.5 inches long. After all that we went for a little stroll around the outlets; it was colder out than I thought but still sunny.

I also found my usb cord and uploaded pictures, so new ones will be appearing shortly.

New Pics

So I've been wanting to update the pictures so everyone can see how much he's grown. Since the move I haven't been able to locate my camera's usb cable. I'll find it! Then I will be sure to update the photos. I'm sure everyone is anxious for new pictures. Also, tomorrow is his next ped appointment. I can't believe he will be 19 weeks tomorrow; it went fast.

Back Online

Well, we are back online. We just got internet in our place so I can finally update the news and pictures. Lucian's last weight measurement was almost 16 lbs! He is getting so big so fast. Hopefully I will be able to get my new set of pictures uploaded soon so I can post some. Hope you didn't miss us too much.

Pretty Kitty

Yesterday, for the first time, Lucian pet our kitty cat. They have had a long relationship. Lizzy, the very old kitty, incubated Lucian while he was still in the oven. Laying on top of the belly shelf was her favorite past time. I can't say that I always agreed with her on the aspect because, even though she is a relatively small feline, she still added extra weight. He would typically kick or punch her - she felt it was like a massage. Either way, she enjoyed laying on him. When he finally came home; she was intrigued but feeling neglected at the same time. All of the attention was going to the new arrival. She would always jump up and smell him to try to figure out what he was doing here. Well, yesterday, she jumped up onto the couch and demanded some attention, which I gladly gave her. Lucian, feeling left out, decided he wanted to be a part of it too. So I sat him on my lap while Lizzy was laying next to us on the couch. First, he reached his foot out and placed it on her back. She didn't seemed bothered by this at all. I wasn't sure how she would respond being such an old lady and all. Lucian leaned forward like he usually does while he is sitting, and I decided to see hat would happen. So I helped him lean a bit more towards the kitty. He reached his hand right on out like he watched mommy do and brushed along her fur. Then he became excited about this new discovery; petting and grabbing her fur. She loved every second and Lucian was covered in fur. What a glorious day! Can't wait to see how Newton is going to respond.

Welcome Feb.

Lucian has been doing more and more crunches in his eager adventure to be in the sitting position. I'm waiting for him to discover that he can grab his feet, which will later lead to inserting them into his mouth. Anyways, he does like when you support him in a seated position. Whenever I sit him up against something he tries to bend forward. He seems like he wants to do a forward tumble - I believe he is trying to face-plant. Luckily, it is never over hard surfaces.

Time to count down the days until Valentine's Day!
