Sensei

Lucas has some definite similarities Yoda (head/body ratio, little hair, height, etc)

Let me know if anyone needs lessons in the martial art of awesomeness - I'll get you on the Sensei's schedule.

Even more cuteness

He may not like to sleep a ton, but maybe thats because Lucas has a fast-charging beauty-sleep meter.

Too cool...

Ummmm, luckily Lucas has outgrown this outfit.  It has udders in an awkward place.

Hip monkey shirt and tennies, right before I lost one =(  
McCutie cutie

Hands and..

For most of his life, Lucas has been a hand-man.  Until....

He found is feet!  While he doesn't suck on those bad-boys yet, he does enjoy the happy feeling every times he remembers that those little things down there are part of him!

Dad is lucky...

To have this wife/son combo that's for sure.  

Do you see the resemblance?

Profile shot
Luckily Amy's hair has grown in better than Lucas's fringe
Hopefully he will end up this much taller than his mom.

Gang signs return

This may look like a cute little boy jumping in his jumper.  Little did you know that he can tell you are an outsider.  Be warned!

He winds up like  pro...

Aaaand BOOYAH!  Represent!

little hands

My mini man hands look huge next to Lucas's!  Score!

Bouncer

Lucas has been enjoying his bouncer recently

Well, I don't know about "enjoying" and much as "stares intently/drools at parts of it for up to 15 minutes at a time"

Pretty soon he is going to figure out that there is more to see on the other side.  His legs are juuuuust about long enough to really bounce himself, so get ready for that.

Upside down

Not sure what it indicates, but Lucas is enjoying time upside-down lately...

Perhaps a commentary on how he has turned our lives?  Or a visual representation bucking our desire for him to sleep in long stretches?  Its probably just the easiest way for him to see the TV, but you never know.

Early Mornings

Sometimes Lucas likes to wake up (again) a bit earlier than the rest of the house.  We decided to have a tired photo shoot, which results in some hot shots.
As always, Tank was not amused.

89

Great Grandpa Kenneth turns 89 only once, so Lucas wanted to make sure he was dressed for the occasion.  Luckily Aunt Sara was around to help him get dudded up.

Lucas thought that some thumb-sucking was in order for the celebration.

He got some great hugs in with his great aunt

The most fun was when his GG threw him some raspberries.  He responded with some grins.
Little did Lucas know that GG Kenneth was just practicing his candle-blowout skills.  Yay for 89!

Teo

Fetus friends unite!  Lucas and Teo met for the first time at Teo's house.  Their moms immediately sized up the competition.

Lucas was pretty excited to see the little baby (while sucking on his hands)

He was like "Hey Teo, can you do THIS?" and practically stood up.

Teo did not take too kindly to being stood up, and showed Lucas how he felt about it with a new hand sign.

Then they decided to be best friends again.  Fighting is BORING.

Hopefully just a phase

Lucas's hair has taken on an unfortunate shape.  While you may have noticed that it's looking blonder on top, there is something going on in the back.  Some call it a "fringe".  Others call it the ultimate mullet.  See for yourself.

More cuteness

Lucas hangs with his Santa Rosa homies

Lucas was very surprised that we let him hang out with his Santa Rosa homies a couple of weekends ago.  (Actually, this look was because Lance and Levi biked by our car as he was eating and he missed it!)

Once we made it in to visit with the Raymonds, Peyton demanded that we hand Lucas over so they could play.

She got her wish and deviously thought about what to do with him.  Hmmmmmm.

How about a hug!  Lady Killer Famini strikes again.

Next, we moseyed over to meet the new Evans twinsies.  Lucas was freaked out at how little Vance and Eliza were!  Probably because he couldn't see as far as the mirror when he was their age.

Lets just say that Vance wasn't all that excited to see us, though we had a lot of fun meeting him.  Yay for babies.

Another walk - Wildcat Canyon

Lucas is really becoming a walk snob - a neighborhood stroll just doesn't cut it.  So we hopped over to Wildcat Canyon Park (a couple miles form our house, along the hills, connects to Tilden Park in Berkeley if you are up for a 7 or 8 mile hike).

For a while Tank was really leading the pack. 

After a while, though, the fam needed a break.  

Lucas was especially pooped from the hike.

On the way back down to the car, we popped off the trail for a nice view of SF and the hills (this was from the in-stroller cam).  Yay for hikes!.
