Proof


... of a recent gang meeting between Risky and Lucas across the fence. His clenched left fist? I think it means "Stop talking while the camera is out"

Drool much?


If you have met Lucas in person, you may have noticed some drool action in the mouth/chin area.   Well, here is some proof that his drool can travel well beyond his face.

It starts slooooowly drooping down off the chin.

The drool eventually makes it way to the ground

DETOUR - drool made it to Lucas's right foot

And finally, the trail makes it way across his chest to the left arm

Stop the drool!!!!!!

Head!


We know that Lucas's head is large, but did you know it can grow within seconds???

Yikes!

A couple of milestones


Lucas continues to hit milestones.  While he isn't crawling yet, he is definitely rolling - this was his first adventure to the bathroom.  The bathroom doorway  at least.

Who is this hungry guy?  That would be Lucas's first hard food - some Baby Mum Mum.  Mmmmmmm.

What up?

Shoes!


He he.  My shoes have hippos on them...


Hippos are soooo relaxing

Ahhhhhhhh.  


Ack!  I'm just a little baby on a bench!

Rumble goes down at Galvin Park


The two champs are brought in to the rumble on separate Grandparents

Grandpa Jim says.. GO!

"Hey Sparrow, there is something awesome over your shoulder"

"Oh, you don't see it?"

"Take that!  Now your dress will be wrinkled.  BOO YAH."

Another morning with Lucas


Yup, its another morning with Lucas.  Looks like he got up a little earlier than he should have.

A little surprised by the camera, huh dude?  Tank was up playing with us too.

Lucas looks more relaxed with his favorite book

Ooooor, with his hand to chew on.

Is it nap-time yet?

Sparrow is 1!


Cousin Sparrow is already 1!!!   
While she is about 80% older than Lucas right now, his giant head makes them look similar in age.


Of course everyone that turns 1 wants one thing - cake!

Aaaaand here it is...

Mmmmmmm

Big sister Sequoia was not to be outdone in the messy eating contest
Meanwhile, we had to employ a Gathman to restrain Lucas from leaping at the cake (well, he can roll).  Thanks, Gianna.

A quick family pic of the Richmond Faminis.  Only 5 more months before Lucas gets a cake of his own!

Doctor Gorchoff


Congrats to Auntie Sara.  Thats Doctor Auntie Sara to you!

Backpack!


Time for another hike.  Hey, whats that on my ear?
Its a sleeping Lucas!  He is finally ready for the backpack (though I wasnt quite ready for the 25lb-ish total load)
We found out that a sleeping baby's floppy head flops a lot on declines.  Luckily Lucas inherited his dad's hard noggin. 

Awake!   Yay for hikes!.

Lucas the teacher


Now that Lucas is already the wise old age of 6 months, he is finding time to tutor some youngun's.  The other day he taught his friend Teo about the Amazing Jumper.

First he showed him the fun parts...

Then he moved back to see if Teo knew what was up.


Theo is not quite ready for the advanced moves, so Lucas consoled him.  Overall grade?  B+

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!"
