Lucas 3 Months

These pictures put a huge smile on my face! Lucas is such a happy baby. I mean look at that face!! Time is flying by as usual. So many times I just stare at Lucas all cuddled up in my arms. I just want to freeze time with my boys, but that is a whole other blog post. I know I will be the creepy Mom in the book Love You Forever. Back to Lucas...

This big guy is weighing in at 17lbs and he is 25in!!! No Dr appointments this month. He is wearing size 6-9 or 6-12 month clothes. He is still wearing size 2 diapers but I think we are getting close to switching to size 3. He is eating 6 bottles of about 4-5oz in a day.

Best news of the third month is...HE SLEEPS through the night!!! We usually feed him before we go to bed and then he sleeps until about 7:30! It is wonderful. He still naps randomly throughout the day between most feedings. He loves his swing, activity mat, and loves to stare at his fists. He smiles all of the time and started laughing this month! I love hearing him laugh and coo.

Already a colts fan!! He loves to watch football with us.

Hates tummy time, which is hard to believe looking at this picture. He can hold his head up well on his tummy.

Love watching him sleep

Andrew can't get enough of Lucas

Andrew told me that he would hold Lucas while I got ready. I think Thomas the Train was a little more interesting.

That sleeper is a little on the small side...

The last thing about month three is that he lost almost all of his hair on the top of his head! Crazy because he was born with so much hair.

Next month we get to start rice cereal...

 

A Pink Labor Day Weekend

The reason why I called this a pink Labor Day Weekend is that Mark's mom was just diagnosed with ductal carcinoma which is breast cancer. Mark and I were so upset to hear the news!! You always hear stories about things like this but of course when it becomes your story it is never the same! I am so glad that they were able to come out over Labor Day weekend because we probably will not see them again until the holidays. Mema was scheduled to have a lumpectomy the Friday after their visit. The best part about me always being so behind on blog posts is that she has already had her surgery and they were able to get it all. She will have radiation for 6-8 weeks to be on the safe side. We were so excited to hear this and I know she is pretty happy too. God is so good!!! We are so thankful for this outcome. I will continue to keep you, as Mema would say, "abreast" on the situation. Prayers are appreciated :)

We had a great visit with them over Labor Day. Sometimes news like this really helps you appreciate the time spent with family and friends. We always enjoy our visits with them but this one seemed a little more special. On Friday we tried a restaurant in Indy that we have heard so many good things about, Bazbeaux Pizza. We really enjoyed it. They have a lot of fun pizza. The food was good and reasonably priced. Lucas didn't really love his experience. He wanted to be held the entire night. We all had to take turns keeping him happy.

The rest of the weekend we grilled out on our new grill!! We love it! We had to get rid of our grill this spring because it was getting pretty rough. We never got around to getting another one this summer until now! Andrew had a blast playing with Mema and Papa!! Lucas enjoyed his cuddles with them too. Papa and I decided we are going to have a little weight loss challenge too. I need some motivation to lose the rest of this baby weight and he said he wanted to drop a couple pounds. We will see how that goes but I will say he is off to a good start!!

Andrew loves playing on Mema's phone.

Love those blue eyes!
