Lucas First Christmas!

What a day! Lucas first christmas went off without a hitch. Lastnight we baked Gingerbread cookies for Santa and opened our new christmas pajamas. Lucas woke up this morning at 9am and came down to see all his gifts from Santa. After opening all his gifts he didn't know what to play with first. We have had so much fun playing and lounging around the house. Its been a great day!

Christmas Pics!

Long time no blog! We've been really

busy trying to get ready for Lucas' first Christmas. Between all the shopping, decorating, and wrapping I haven't had time to update our blog. However, I have had time to take some pictures for our Christmas card which you all should be getting in the mail soon! Here are some of the pics I took. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We went to Virginia to visit. Everyone was so excited to see Lucas and see how much he had grown. We ate lots of turkey, stuffing, and pie. I'm sure we'll pay for it in the gym this week. Lucas also ate some turkey, green beans, and sweet potatoes and LOVED it! We went out shopping for a bit on Black Friday however, we didn't find any killer deals so we still have a lot of christmas shopping left to do.

Lucas is 9 months old!

Lucas turned 9 months old today, WOW! We took him for his 9 month check up yesterday and he is a healthy little boy. He's hitting all his milestones and is growing just as he should. He weighed in at 20lbs 6oz in his birthday suit and was 30.5 inches tall. He was 50% in his weight and 95% in his height. He's gonna be tall and skinny just like his Daddy!

1st Haircut

We had a great weekend! On Saturday we went to Birkdale and walked around, hung out at the bookstore and drank some coffee (well, Reda did Lucas had water and I had hot cocoa). On Sunday we took Lucas for his first haircut. We went to Snip Its in Huntersville which is geared towards kids and he sat in the chair and got his haircut like a champ. No tears, no fussing, nothing. Which it probably helped that there were all kinds of distractions, mirrors, videos, bubbles, animal crackers............need I go on. We took LOTS of pictures and videotaped the entire thing. After the haircut we all went to Lucas' buddy, Ryan's birthday party. He had a blast crawling around meeting new friends and playing with everyone. It was so nice to see all our friends since what has felt like forever.

Trick or Treat!

Lucas had a blast on his first halloween. We went down to Davidson for the Halloween Parade and then to Uncle Mike's house and around his neighborhood. Then we visited Aunt Sandy and on to Lala's house. We finally finished our rounds at 8:30 with a very sleepy Zebra. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

Carving the Pumpkin
