My Doctor Loving boy! (Day 48)

Lucas must LOVE going to the doctor. We have hd to call them twice this week and we got to go in today. Lucas had blood in his poo this morning, so we had to get that checked out. It's either leftovers from his stomach bug last week, or it's possibly a further proteing allergy. If this continues over the weekend, then he might have to switch to a more hypoallergenic formula. Fingers crossed it's just leftovers from last week. The new formuals is a prescription, and more costly, but if it makes him happy we will do it. All I want is for his little tummy to feel good. Best part of it all is that he is happy and not seeming to be bothered by all of this. Fingers crossed he gets better soon!

Love,

Lisa and Lucas

He's looking so big!! (Day 47)

He's getting so big! I swear he is going to outgrow this carrier VERY quickly. He looks so tall and so much older! I'm happy and sad at the same time!

Lisa and Lucas

Naked Baby Time... (Day 46)

One of Lucas' favorite times of day, is "Naked Baby Time." Lucas lights up when it's time to change his clothes or diaper. He is absolutey ecstatic when he is "naked." He kicks his feet and waves his arms. He smiles the biggest happy smiles and he absolutely LOVES that time of day. I love sharing those laughs and smiles with him. It's the funniest thing, how just taking his clothes off makes him the happiest baby!!

Love,

Lisa and Lucas (aka Naked Baby)

Happy Bath Day! (Bonus Post Day 45)

My sweet little boy has the absolute BEST time in the tub!! I love watching him smile and kick and have a BLAST in the tub!!!

Happy Valentine's Day! (Day 45)

Lucas was finally able to go to school!! It was nice that he was there for Valentine's Day! He got some nice little Valentine's Day cards from his friends. He was even dressed in cute little outfit (he later pooed on it, which is pretty typical of Lucas and any holiday oriented outfit!).

He even made Me and Joe the cutest Valentine's Day presents!!

Lisa and Lucas

On the mend.. (Day 44)

Lucas was finally feeling well enough that he was playing and smiling and having fun! YAY!!

Lisa and Lucas

Comfy and Cozy with my little man. (Day 43)

I love every minute I get to spend with Lucas. Even when he's not feeling well he still loves, and craves the comfort of his Mom and Dad's arms.

Love,

Lisa and Lucas

Making Valentines!! (Day 42)

Lucas made his first Valentine's Day cards with his first at home craft project! I painted his feet and we did our best to get some good footprints to put on the front of his Valentine's Day cards for his Grandparents!

I'm pretty sure he liked it. He wasn't mad, but I also don't think he really knew what was going on.

He's a very patient little boy!

Love,

Lisa and Lucas

Look what I can do! (Day 41)

Lucas has learned that he can put things in his mouth. Right now his favorite item is his hand. He tests how many fingers and how far into his mouth he can go. Silly, sweet little boy!

Love,

Lisa and Lucas

My sick little boy. (Day 38)

Today Lucas was not feeling well, and I didn't have the heart or the time to take a picture of my guy today.

Superbowl Sunday... (Day 37)

He seemed to be feeling better at this point, and watched all of half of the first quarter of the game. He was tired. Being sick is tiring!

Lisa and Lucas

WOW! (Day 36)

It's been a long couple weeks. Lucas had a stomach bug that kept him home for a whole week, and boy were we tired!! Quick catch up on each day to follow.

Lisa and Lucas

Poor Baby.... (Day 35)

So, I wasn't still feeling well today, so Lucas went and spent the day with my Mom and Dad so that he could try his hardest not to get what I had. Poor guy though had his own issues today. He needed to poop, and badly. He was so upset that he wasn't eating a ton. He slept most of the day cause I guess it was more comfortable for him, than to be awake and have an upset tummy.

Finally at 8:00pm, he conquered this task he had been working on all day and pooped. He smiled so big when it was over. I was so happy for him. He just wasn't himself, and I felt bad that I couldn't help him..

He's my good little guy and it was hard not seeing him last night and then again today. I'm hoping for a fun day in tomorrow!!

Love,

Lisa and Lucas

UGH... Day 34

I was taken over by the stomach bug today, so there were no pictures taken. Lucas went to Daycare all day and then got some quality time with Daddy when he got off work, so that I could go crawl under a rock and die...

It's a HOT one!! (Day 33)

Today was day 2 at daycare. Lucas stayed from 9-4pm. He ate well, was sweet and slept, and was swinging when I came to pick him up. That is, until I took him out of his classroom. We literally stepped on the other side of the door to his classroom, and he started wailing. A new cry that he had to catch his breath in between sobs. It was pitiful. I tried to calm him, but was not successful, so we headed out to the van to see if we could do anything out there. Not much worked. I took his pants off in case he was hot, but that didn't do much. So I decided we were hearing home, crying...

When we got home he started to calm down when I got him into a short sleeve onesie and got him a bottle. He gets very overtired, and overstimulated very easily, and I think that's all that was. Though when it was happening I was thinking he didn' t recognize me, or that he was mad at me for taking him to daycare. Lovely thoughts that go through a new mom's head.

Since it was such a nice day, we went for a walk once he calmed down. 70 plus degrees in February! I'll take it!!

We had another napping night, and then a playful evening. Love our nights together!!

Love,

Lisa and Lucas

He's all grown up! (Day 32)

Today, my sweet boy spent the day with someone other than me. He started at Springview Academy. It's a great daycare/preschool that my friends own in Summerville. He was warmly welcomed this morning. I got him all situated in the swing and he just took it all in. He does that. He's a very curious individual. He sat and stared for quite some time before falling asleep. While he was at school, he even did an art project!! SO GROWN UP!!!

He only went for about 4 hours today. I had a vet appointment at Sangaree Animal Hospital with the awesome Dr. Chavis! Kahua needed her yearly shots and exam, and she passed with flying colors! PS: If you are looking for a Vet, I HIGHLY reccommend them! I

Then we went home, where Lucas spent most of the afternoon/evening sleeping. It was a long day after all. It was nice though when he woke up, cause we played and read and made the most of our time together. It's going to be hard going back to work, but I know he will be ok. So far, he's been sweet at school. A little serious, but sweet. I'll take that!

Love,

Lisa and Lucas

Getting ready to start Daycare (Day 31)

Lucas and I spent most of the day playing and spending some good time together before he started daycare the next day. At night, I spent most of the time packing Lucas up and getting his name on all of his things. I think he knew we were going to do something new the next day, cause he didn't sleep or eat very well for me that night.

Love,

Lisa and Lucas

Grandparents came to play (Day 30)

Joe's parents came to visit today! They brought him a musical key set!

3 Months Old!! (Day 29)

My sweet, sweet boy is now 3 whole months old!! I can't believe it! He's gotten so big. He's gaining length along with weight. He can control his big head. He talks and smiles and laughs. He's my big boy!

Love,

Lisa and Lucas
