This is for Jessie:)

If any of you know my cousin Jessie then you understand this post. Jessie is famous for putting in her "teeth" on various occasions and going into all out character mode as "Tisha". The teeth are horrendous and just looking at her cracks you up, along with her attitude as feisty Tisha. It is the funniest thing ever! At my baby shower, she got baby Lucas a pacifier with teeth of his own. The last couple of weeks he loves these things. He chews on them and he looks hilarious. He has no idea how funny he looks, or maybe he does. If I need a good laugh I just give him the teeth and I always get a good chuckle. Enjoy Jess, I hope this does you proud!

My other babies:(

I feel so bad sometimes, I never talk about my dogs anymore! Before Lucas they WERE my babies and talking about them on a daily basis was the norm. They have adjusted well with the baby, Stanley more then Blue. Which was the opposite of what I expected, but the more I thought about it I see why. Blu was my baby, she slept with me every night, where as Stan liked his crate and didn't like to snuggle so much. Blu was by my side every night under the covers, head on pillow and all. About 3 months into the pregnancy I thought it was time to break the habit, which I think was harder on me then on her. I got her a nice cushy dog bed and laid it next to my bed. Every night at bedtime she would lay on the bed and look and me with those sad brown eyes. It took all I had to not have her jump up with me and get under the covers. She somehow just knew what was expected of her and she never has gotten on the bed since. When we brought Lucas home from the hospital it took a few days for them to get used to the cries and up all night noise. Blu still looks at him and is like "what are you still doing here" and Stan is his protector. He watches him and if he cries or falls over he is right there giving him kisses. It is neat to watch and Lucas is really noticing them now and loves to watch them wrestle outside and come in and out the dogie door.

Going to enjoy the nice weather today! Lucas has a check up today and shots so I hope he is not to crabby! Got a lot done last night staying up late, so we are going to have fun day!

catch up=no sleep

I have finally come to terms with the fact that if I want to have any time to myself and also get all my chores and errands done, I will have to function on less sleep. This means that no going to bed early, staying up late and doing laundry and cleaning when Lucas is asleep. This will also give me time to catch up on my Tivo and check emails, do blog and read and comment on all the other blogs. I am OK with this, I can really get more done and when I am home with him and he is up and ready to go, I will enjoy my time with him so much more and not be worrying about all the things I have to get done. I will let you know how this works out for me , say your prayers for Billy, no sleep for me also means the claws come out and patience is VERY thin. They say you take it out on the ones you love the most. Poor Billy....I love you babe!

We're Back

We made it back safe and sound from Ocean City! Lucas did awesome on the plane, slept thru both flights. He loved the ocean and all his great aunties. He got lots of kisses and attention, he loved it. He really is a laid back baby and goes with the flow so well. He loved the ocean and the putting his feet in the sand. We took a walk on the beach with him every morning and fed the seagulls, he thought that was hilarious. We really had a nice relaxing time visiting with family and eating some great seafood! Crab cakes everyday! Walked the boardwalk and just took in the great ocean air. It is nice to be home! I paid for internet in the condo so I could post, but the signal would never keep a connection. So lots to catch up on!

Enjoy the few pics of our vacation! I love going away, but it is always nice to come home!

Yummy toes

Lucas is obsessed with his feet and toes! This pic is of him in his car seat sucking on his big toe! He is really taking an interest in everything. He is saying da da and scooting around. No crawling yet, but I personally think he will be pulling himself up and walking and skipping the whole crawling thing. We shall see!

It is a short week for me, Monday only. We are flying out to Ocean City, MD Tuesday! The rain and hurricane Hanna are gone and the weather has cleared up. Looking forward to meeting some of Billy's family and spending time at the ocean and eating some great seafood.

Grandma's Boy

I think Lucas gave grandma a run for her money while she was here! He was crabby and Billy was working from home a lot a he is a daddies boy! He would cry and fuss everytime he would hear Billy in the office. I think she was exhausted, but she got some good snuggles the morning she left. He woke up at six(usual time)and seemed fussy, I gave him a bottle and put him in bed with mom. They sleep until 8 and he was a much happier boy. I took advantage of a few hours, believe me I could have went right back to sleep. It was a rainy and nasty day yesterday. I was motivated so I paid bills, did laundry and cleaned.

We had Parents as Teachers come yesterday. It was right at his nap, so he was crabby. We talked about his developmental milestones and what track he was on. He seems to be right on schedule with everything. I took him to the doctor and no ear infection...yeah! Makes me feel better about flying. I hope these hurricanes stay away from Ocean City! I think that we will miss Hannah, but Ike is the big worry. We shall see, we will be bummed if we have bad weather. We have had this vacation planned since he was born.

Money Bags!

Sorry it has been a few days, busy few days with my momma in town. Just visiting and hanging out. We took her out to Pasta House for dinner tonight and met up with my friend Carrie and her fiance' PJ. We had a good time, Billy was feeding Lucas all kinds of stuff. Noodles, rolls, soda and he was loving it. He has been a little fussy for grandma the past few days, I am calling the doc tomorrow, he has been rubbing his ears. I am hoping he does not have an ear infection. We are leaving for vacation next Tuesday and I don't want him flying with an ear infection.

This pic is so funny, Billy let him get a hold on all this cash. He of course wanted to put it in his mouth(yuk) and we were able to get this quick shot of him with the money in hand. It is so funny to think that he has no idea what money is. His innocence is priceless:)
