My boy is getting so big!

He's been keeping me real busy so I've had no time to update this blog! He is now 13 months, he talks all day long, has the funniest personality, and cute as a button!


So lets rewind a bit- Brians brother and Sue got married. Lucas was their unofficial ring bearer (he didnt do anything bc he couldn't walk but he got all dressed up and took tons of pictures)







He had his first birthday! We took him to a professional photographer because I wanted amazing pictures. He was soo funny during the photoshoot. He really is such a ham. I swear he was flirting with the photographer and doing things to make her laugh, so in turn we got some really cute pictures!

The cake smash








How cute is this hat?!? I saw it online and I knew I needed to get it for Lucas (im even tempted to order it for myself without the tassle things on the top)


My little monkey



Some more formal type pictures






Ok- his actual birthday we had cake to celebrate (I wanted to have a big party but since he wouldn't remember it anyways and doesn't even realize its his birthday we decided to save the money) So we decided to just order a really cute cake and sing happy birthday.

Mommy and the birthday boy

yummmmm cake...

Cooolest cake ever

Balloons are the best thing in the world!



So that same night Lucas was entered into the NY Islanders Baby Crawl contest. We got free tickets (great seats too!) and after the first period we went out onto the ice with 4 others babies and they "raced" by crawling to the end of the lanes they set up. It was an amazing experience! We figured either Lucas would take off and crawl to the other end in 5 seconds or he would look around and not go anywhere. We came prepared with his blankie and some snacks to try to get him to crawl. Brian had him at the starting line and I was at the finish line (he LOVES his mommy ♥ so we figured he would crawl to me at the finish line). Well the race started and he crawled right away but then halfway down he just stopped and in the meantime one baby started to crawl (none of the others even moved haha) so we got worried for a minute but I put out some snacks and he finally finished! It was soo much fun and everyone was cheering him on in the stands. So yeahhhhhh for Lucas!!!! He won 6 months free diapers which made mommy and daddy VERY happy!






His first time playing in the snow

Lucas was too little last year to go out in the snow so the first storm we had we took him out. He loved it!






and a few random pictures


I love Mickey! awwwwww

Lets Go Jets!!!


I love Mookie and mookie wants nothing to do with me haha


He still does things to make us laugh like crazy. Like yesterday we were letting him drink from a water bottle and everytime we let him have a sip and took it away from him he would laugh (a totally fake laugh but it was the cutest thing)

His favorite word is "no" but now he also will say no and hit us so hes been getting some little time outs for that which he doesn't like so hopefully he will grow out of that quickly.

He says momma, dada, no, wonka, night night, uh oh, gabba gabba, hi, bye bye, yeah, clock, baba, yummm, up, probably some others that I can't think of at the moment.

He now gives hugs (sometimes even after he hits he'll give a hug and its really hard to be mad- smart kid haha)

He's very close to walking but just isn't quite ready to let himself go.

He understands everything! He knows how to use the remote and loves to take it and press the buttons to make the tv change haha. If we mention something he likes like a banana or a bath he goes nuts so we need to spell so he doesn't get excited for something not happening yet. He points to everything we ask him to (wheres mickey, wheres dada, ect..) He knows his nose, mouth, eyes, and ears.

He eats everything except for vegetables. God forbid a carrot is mixed with his food he will actually swallow everything but the carrot and will spit that out haha. Though there are a few foods he will eat that has veggies in it but more hidden and he will eat those haha.

Overall hes an awesome kid and I love him to death! :-)
