Lucas is an amazing little boy.
He chews on his wrists and fingers. He has since he was very little. His hands are a main source of entertainment for him, though they can also be the thing that keeps him awake at night.
He cries very little. If he cries real loud and hard, he's usually just hungry. If he cries real loud and won't stop no matter what you try, you have to take control for him. Hold him close and SHHH in his ear and he will fall off to sleep. Overtiredness is no fun for him.
He doesn't sleep much during the day. He'd rather be a part of the action, that is, unless he spends time in the car and then you never know how long he'll sleep. The boy loves a good sleep in a car ride.
He loves to be in your arms. He doesn't have to be doing, just held and with you. He's a people person.
He went a month sleeping in only his bouncy seat - day or night. He has finally given in to the swaddle blanket, and sleeps peacefully in it. He's had 2 nights of sleeping through the night, and those were a tease for me!
He kicks everything. He uses his feet to show his emotions. His feet are attached to the most precious squishy, chunky legs ever.
He has the sweetest eyes that will stare at you for hours.
He has the poutiest bottom lip and he knows how to use it to his advantage. I'm a sucker for that lip. His lips also grace us with bubbles and massive amounts of drool. Baby drool is the best. Next to his lips are a set of plump cheeks that are made for kissing and smiling!
He doesn't leave home without Seymour - his seahorse that lights up and plays music. He got him on Christmas and hasn't stopped licking him since.
He is the perfect combination of Joe and I. He is handsome, and good. He is sweet and huggable. He makes my days happy. He is the bright spot in all the hard times this year and last has brought. He is my world.
Love,
Lisa and Lucas
