Lucas Now

Well my baby is already 14 months and he is well into toddlerhood.  He has changed so much.  When he was born, he had such a mellow air about him.  He was so chill and always the observer.  I used to watch him and think, 'What is this boy thinking?'.  He is still the observer just now I know what he is thinking...'How did they do that?' and 'I bet I can do that'.  He talks a lot and is quite the people person. 

LL never spoke at this age, so to hear him beginning to talk now, is quite the treat.  Then again, L2 does a lot of things that LL never did at this age.  He says the following:

• Dada (Dad)
• Daka (Dakota)
• Abe-a (Abuela)
• Car
• Cai (Caillou)
• ma (mas)
• agua
• all done
• hola

There is a ton of jargon mixed in with all these actual words, and I think it is hilarious when he is obviously talking to you, but you have no idea what he is saying.  He loves to wave to people and likes to make you laugh.

He's become quite the daredevil and even climbed up the slide backwards the other day at the park...you know the tall one that spirals? Yeah, he did that.  Once he made it to the top, he then went down head first on his belly.  He loves to be outside and will spend as much time as you let him out there.

He mimics his brother's tae kwon do kicks and does knuckles like a true man's man.  He gives slobbery open mouth kisses and loves his hugs.  He is such a sweetie despite being a hand full.  His heart breaks when he gets reprimanded and makes you feel awful for having told him 'no'.  Heaven forbid I ever have to spank his bottom. 

He loves his binky and likes to walk around with one in his mouth and another in his hand so he can change them out periodically.  Sometimes, he likes to try and stick both in at the same time.

He is our bundle of joy and we love having him.
