Happy Halloween

I can't even begin to describe what a wonderful Halloween we had. There is something about seeing you child enjoy something so much that makes you feel so fulfilled. Mike kept telling me, "This is the best Halloween ever." Lucas was the cutest Yoda ever and he had the best time trick or treating, looking at all the decorations, and seeing all the costumes. Our row of homes really decorates and I wondered if he might be frightened with all the fog machines, scary music, lights, graveyards, monsters, etc. but oh no, he was fearless. What a great Halloween! Can't wait for next year :)

18 Month Check-up

Lucas had his 18 month check-up today.

Weight: 26 lbs. 15 ounces (70th percentile)

Height: 34 1/4 " (93rd percentile)

Dr. Ball said "he's a big boy."

Irvine Park

We went to Irvine Park a couple weeks ago. Lucas had such a great time and Mike and I had so much fun watching him run around. We got there at 10:00 hoping to miss the crowd which we did :) We jumped right on the train and about two minutes into the train ride it started to rain. Not just drizzle but rain. Of course it did not slow down Lucas, its even more fun when there is rain and mud to play in. After the train ride we went and picked out the perfect pumpkin and ran around the pumpkin patch. We then walked to the petting zoo. There was only one other family in the petting zoo, so it felt like we had it all to ourselves. Lucas fed and brushed the animasl which was so exciting for him since he is such an animal lover. Like always, he was fearless and just loved having a good time. We went home a little wet, dirty, and tired. It was a great day!!!

18 Months Old

Lucas is changing so much everyday.

He know longer walks but runs everywhere.

He loves to eat everything.

He gives the sweetest hugs and kisses.

His hair is really getting long and thick.

He has such a throwing arm, he says catch and will throw anything that is in his hand.

He loves sitting in his Potterybarn chair to watch Wiggles.

His favorite thing to eat out is petite vanilla scones at Starbucks.

He knows where to find our car keys and loves to carry them around the house.

He is such a lover and makes everyday the best day ever.

Our Little Daredevil

We can't take our eyes off of Lucas for one second. He is our fearless daredevil.

Car Obsessed

In the last week Lucas has become car obsessed. He is constantly getting ahold of our keys and has figured out that the red button will make the alarm go off, which he really enjoys. Everytime we go outback Lucas takes off and runs to one of our cars. He knows exactly which one is mine and which one is Mike's. I have a feeling we have a car lover on our hands.

October Already!!!

I think I am in a little bit of shock that it is October and September 2010 is over. I think that part of the reason it has flown by is I started teaching part-time. Its been great to be back at my old school and I have the best babysitters in the world, my parents.

We had a great September....here are a few things that we have been up to the last month.

Running through the fountain at the Irvine Spectrum.

We finally got some hot days, so we played in our blow-up pool and water table and of course finished off with Lucas' favorite, drumsticks.

We can't get enough of this adorable face.

Pretend City, a children's museum in Irvine. Lucas could not get enough of all the cars.

Poor Lucas was sick for over a week with a cold and ear infection. Its only the second time he's been sick since he was born. He feel asleep in the car on the way to the doctors so I carried him in asleep.
