Big sitter

Lucas is a real big sitter now.  He like to sit in different ways...

There is the "What up? My hat's got a tilt" sit

The "I am concentrating on this ball" sit

The "I am sooo cute in my hoodsie" sit

and the "big boy pajamas!" sit

bathtime

Lucas had some dude bathtime for once.  He felt "eh" about it.

"This is so booooring"
"Ooh!  A ducky!" 

Mothers Day

The Richmond Faminis headed up to Sonoma for Mothers Day brunch.  Right away Lucas made the rounds, talking with Sparrow and his big (male!) cousin Will

The Sanchini girls had some fun on the lawn.  Well, they sat there at least.

Sparrow was much happier in her walker/lunch chair.

Sequoia was much happier rolling around

Lucas was happy enough hangin with some older Famini men

He was even happier wishing his Grandma a Happy Mothers day

And his Great Grandma too.

Altogether a great day.  Hoo-rah!

Morning Monkey

These days, I get to hang out with the little dude before work.  He is usually a little groggy when he first gets up 

Then we spend some time in Lucas's room reading, playing and looking out the window (or posing for the camera, obviously)

Sometimes we make it outside for a stroll in the yard.   A great way to start the day. 

Change of heart

I am so happy in my cool vest!

Wait, what am I wearing?  Does this hat match?

Oh yeah it does.  BOO-yah!

6 months!

Whats up people?  I am 6 months old already!

My mom got me some sweet balloons to play with
You wanna know why I am smiling?  Only 6 more months until I get cake!

Feet

Here a Lucas shows off one of his favorite pastimes -playing with his feet.   Just don't hang around when he loses them.

Fooooooooood

Oh, hello there.  You caught me eating rice cereal!  Mmmmm.

I really have to attack the spoon

Oooooooh.  The spoon is getting close again.
I got it!  Yay for "solid" food.

Mini vacation - the end

Last stop on the mini-vacation was a mini beach visit.  It was already  75 degrees at 11 AM in Carmel!

Lucas was not too impressed

We accidentally stumbled onto a ladybug colony!

And took advantage of the view for one more photo op.  Mini-vacation over =(

Aquarium

Like good tourists on the Monterey peninsula, we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Lucas enjoyed staring at all the exhibits
Like otters (a favorite of many)
Mini seahorses
Fat-bellied seahorses
Frogs (not as cute as our neighbor's frogs)
and Jellyfish
Oooooooooooh
We even got to see some Penguins

After a while, we had enough of the place.  YAAAAAAAAAAAY.
