With a new year coming merely hours away, I wanted to take this time to reflect on the wonderful gift I was given this year. My son Lucas.
Joe and I found out we were expetcing in early March, and from there this year took on a whole new life. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a Mom. I have been a go to babysitter. I have always enjoyed spending time with my friends' children, and then to find out that in 9 months I would be a Mom, well that was an incredible feeling.
The months came fast at first, and then as the weight came on and the hormones surged, time seemed to slow. He wasn't a small baby by any means. He was born just shy of 9lbs and was 20 1/2 inches. He never fit in Newborn clothes or diapers. He really was born looking older than he was. My little man!
He has been a pure joy to watch grow up. He was easily accepted into the house by the dogs and cat. They always want to know where he is, but don't do so to bother him, just to know. The cat doesn't like his crying, but she doesn't really like loud noises in general. She actually walks up to him and "yells" at him to quiet him down.
For the most part, Lucas is a mellow kid. He has his moments, but he usually only fusses when he's hungry. You don't get to be 12 lbs 7 oz at 2 months by not eating! He loves to be held. He loves to bounce in his bouncy seat, in fact right now that's where he sleeps at night since he's boycotting his crib!
2010 wasn't easy. It wasn't always fun, but it was a year I wouldn't trade for the world. I know 2011 is going to start off rocky. Apparently, having a kid costs a good bit of money. Something we lack much of right now, but we are making it work. I have high hopes for 2011. It can be tough at times, which is why I plan to find the good in every day through the eyes of Lucas.
I'll take a picture each day and do my best to explain it's significance as I believe Lucas would see it. I hope you enjoy the pictures, and the stories Lucas and I create!
Lots of Love and happiness for 2011,
Lisa and Lucas
