12 Months

Happy 12 months Lucas! So amazing how much those little chubbers & marshmallows melt my heart! I can't believe he is 1 year & Keldan is 2.5 yrs. Just a quick update on Lucas...

*25lbs; 31in long

*Completely off bottles :) In a way I'm so excited and then in another I'm not because its just another reminder he is no longer a baby.

*Eats everything & anything! Loves food.

*Walking everywhere, getting better at the running thing. Loves to be chased. Stands up really good without holding on to anything, can squat and stand back up. 

*Tackling more of the climbing. Can climb on kid chairs, has learned to push toys close to couch or table and climb on that to get up (he's no dumby thats for sure!)

*Only have to show him things once and he knows what to do.

*I saying quite a few words now. He often will repeat something Keldan says, but then he won't say it again so I'm not sure if I can say those words are in his vocabulary yet. Definitely says dada, mama, baba (bottle- if he sees a pic of one he will say it), puppy, bubye (and waves), al do (all done), uhoh, papa, ball, aha. He has learned to smack his lips if he wants more, point and say ehh if he wants something, makes car noise, and says huh if you ask him something. 

*Gets very proud of himself if he does something. Loves to show you what hes playing with.

*Extremely ornery. Listens fairly well now, but when that silly streak hits him, he will stare at me, while slowly doing something he knows he shouldn't (sometimes hard not to laugh at that).

*Torments Keldan! They get along so well, love to play with each other. Sometimes he likes to take Keldan's car or something that he is playing with and will laugh (so ornery!)

*His absolute favorite thing is dancing & music. Loves to play the guitar & hit things like drums. 

Family Christmas Picture

Every year since we have been married we take a picture in front of our tree. I was going to share them but I seem to have misplace our 06 and 07. So here are the ones I could find. 
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

2010 Christmas Pics

Beginning of December I took Christmas pictures of the boys. The ones of them together were the best I could get. They just do not cooperate right now..just want to play.

They wanted to play with the fake snow.

Keldan in the "hoho" hat.

Have to get one of Lucas in it too..although it was very big. I even clipped it in the back.

Play-doh

So I've been slacking on my posts..will make up for it in the next couple weeks. Uncle Zach & Aunt Michelle gave Keldan play-doh sets for his birthday. We were so busy during the summer playing outside that I kept them until it was too yucky to go out. He loved it! We have to play on a high table though because a little one thinks its food. (I can't believe how little Keldan is in the first few pics, thats just from May!)

The one is Mr & Mrs potato head. He would give me a color, tell me what piece he needed, so I would mold it, then he would stick it on. Now he thinks any potato head is called playdoh. 

The second one is Star Wars R2D2. It came with some cool tools.
