First Haircut

Almost missed doing a February post, good thing it's a leap year. Today Lucas got his first haircut! For this special milestone we wanted to go to a true barber, not one of those silly salons that charge way too much to shampoo your hair and get you a latte. So we went to see Roberto the barber.

"what are we doing here?"

"what's that man doing with those scissors?!?"

Always good to know where the nearest exit is located.

He took it like a man.

Four people to give one haircut.

Luckily Roberto is a pro and brought out a lollipop.

Much better...

or maybe not!

Sad Lucas.

All better.

Handsome boy

January pics

Here are a bunch of miscellaneous pictures from this month...

Normally we are not into plastic or battery operated toys, but Lucas loves his Bounce and Spin Zebra. The sounds it makes are not too loud and the tune is kinda catchy.


Lucas, smile for the camera!


Before coffee...


After coffee...


Where's Kat?


I command you to play with me!!! (Kat likes the cage)


Yum, bacon.


We had a birthday party for Lucas and made cupcakes. Lucas enjoyed his very much.


He liked it so much he rubbed it all over his face.


Learning to use utensils.


Birthday fun with the neighbors.

Baby Legs

Nice legs...

Happy Birthday/New Year!!

Today Lucas turned one! He could hardly contain his excitement.


Ellen baked a cake and we went over to Shieh Jian's to celebrate. I am happy to report that Lucas didn't get too much spit on his cake while trying to blow out the candle!


I think he approved of the cake.



We gave him a frying pan for his birthday. He loves it.


Kat was hoping we wouldn't notice her when we went for a walk.

Happy New Year everyone! Next year should be fun.

Xmas Miracle

Lucas walks, it's a miracle! Actually, he started walking a few days ago, so its not really a xmas miracle, but still very exciting. I guess now we really need to child proof our house!



Happy holidays to all!

Snow

Lucas just keeps getting bigger (as he should). He has been filling out over the past weeks, probably getting ready to grow quite a bit. He's almost walking, easily standing on his own for short periods of time. Here he's standing outside in the snow.


He liked playing in the snow, though he hates wearing mittens.


I had to make sure there was no yellow snow before letting him loose on the sidewalk.



Here's a fall picture with his Grandpa.


Lucas loves his new bear from Uncle Peter and Aunt Donna.


Don't know how to explain this next one other than saying he had a blast playing with the bucket.


Check out his Chucks! They don't fit him anymore.


After playing in the snow we headed over to Starbucks for coffee. Lucas just wanted to eat the cup sleeve.

General Cuteness

It's almost Thanksgiving so here are some pictures of our little turkey.

"Ahhhh"

After a nice hot bath, Lucas likes to put on his bathrobe and lounge around the house.


I am sad to report Lucas may be a hockey fan. Kate, it's all your fault!
Notice what he is standing on.


At least he also likes playing the piano. Behind him you can admire our missing spindles on our staircase, the same staircase he loves to climb. Probably should fix those someday...
Notice the cool hat. Will post more pictures of the hat later.


Obviously Lucas is not tall enough to reach the piano, so he's figured out how to compensate for his shorter stature.


He is looking very cute these days...
