Fun with Lucas

I know I do slides a lot, but every time I update the blog, I have tons of pictures, so its easier for me this way. These are just some of the fun and crazy things Lucas is into these days. Well, lets be honest, Lucas and Matt. Together they took out the glass in our coffee-table, and played in the hole. Lucas had so much fun, and so did Matt. :) Lucas was also sick a little while ago, he had a fever of 106.3!! I got really nervous, and got him all wet with cold water, and gave him medicine right away, luckily it went down pretty quick. But a few days later, he woke up with a roseola rash ALL over his body! It was so sad looking. It's funny how things like that affect the parents so much. You hate to see your baby hurt or sad. We love Lucas so very much, he is such a fun (wild at times) kid.

Looking for gold?

We have been teaching Lucas the names of his body parts. We used to teach him his 'belly', but that kind of backfired. Lucas would try to lift my shirt, and say belly, but it usually came out "baby." No I am not pregnant, but people were starting to ask. So, now we refer to it as "tummy." He is so cute, he always tries to lift his shirt and slap his tummy. He loves it! Lucas also knows his ears, eyes, and nose. But....again, it has backfired. Lucas walks around the house like this:

I think he's figured out where his nose is, what do you think?

Finally updated! :)

So, here is a slide show of some of the things we have been up to. Well...really, it is what Lucas has been up to. Lucas is a wild man, he definitely has a mind of his own, and sometimes it drives me nuts! If anyone has good suggestions of books about disciplining toddlers, please let me know. Right now we are doing time-out, but hes not getting it. He just gets right up and starts playing, and when I put him back down, he hits me. I don't know if he is meaning to hit; when he cries he waves his arms around, but it usually hits us. Anyway... I am up for suggestions since I have no idea what I am doing. Now for my explanations for the pictures:

Potty training. Wow. I never thought I would be trying to potty train a 15 month old. But I read this book about early potty training, it was really neat. And so I started training Lucas. He has gone in the potty about 10+ times. But now it is getting very hard. In the mornings I babysit 1-3 extra kids (depending on the day). Lucas has a hard time just sitting there while the other kids run around. So...I have decided to put off training for another 2-3 months. At that point, I won't be babysitting as much. And then maybe it will be easier for Lucas to sit still. I don't want to force him to sit on the potty, the book said that if you make them, it won't be a happy experience for them, and they won't want to do it again. So, hopefully soon we will get it going. I really want him to be potty trained.

Stickers on the face. I went to a doctors appt. (no I am not pregnant) and I left Lucas with a friend and her two kids. When I got back, this is what I found, stickers covering his face. I guess that's what happens when you leave your kid with a 3 year old and 18 month old. The funny part, the kids weren't the ones who did it, it was my friend. :)

Lucas discovered how to rip paper, what fun for Mommy. One day I was ironing and Lucas found a paper towel and ripped it into a million pieces. Next thing I know, Lucas is putting the scraps on one of the bar stools and dragging them around the house. It was like he was giving it a ride. The best part was that he was just laughing the whole time, he thought he was so funny!

The other pictures are pretty self explanatory, Lucas chillin' out watching Baby Einstein, asking for muffins, feeding Daddy, eating lunch off the floor, and playing in his baby swing that he found. This kid is so funny. Like I said totally wild, it is such a work out to keep up with him. But I love it! He is so much fun!!

I hope that everyone is happy now that I have updated the blog. Oh also, forgive me for my music choices this time. But, I am going through kind of a weird phase with music, Matt keeps teasing me about it. :)
