Christmas Shots

Merry Christmas!!

One Month Old!!

Lucas is doing wonderfully! The first month has treated him VERY well. He has grown to 23 inches long (from 21") and 12 pounds, 2 ounces (from 8lbs 8oz). This puts him in the 90th percentile for height, and 97th for weight. We've got a big strong boy on our hands...

And he is growing stronger everyday....

Showing off his stength during tummy time!


Becoming more and more alert.

Always watching us.

and loving bath time!

THE ONE MONTH FILM

Visit from Grandpa...

Grandpa Steve came to visit all the way from New Zealand last week, making a very special introduction. I have to tell on grandpa, he had tears in his eyes when he held Lucas for the first time. Lucas seemed pretty happy to meet him. We also got to visit Lucas's great grandparents, bringing 4 generations together.

3 Weeks Old...

Lucas is 3 weeks old, and growing more adorable everyday. The eyes are growing bluer, he watches you and follows movement, and he is so alert. He weighed in this morning at 10lbs, 4 oz. What a beautiful growing boy!!

Counting Days...

Lucas is 17 days old, and it just dawned on me that the counting of days will shortly turn to weeks and months. It's amazing to watch this little boy grow before our eyes. He is much more alert when he is awake, about 2-3 hours in the morning, and a couple hours again at night. And he seems to be growing daily, we are trying our best not to miss a thing :-)

2 Weeks Old!!!

Lucas Dylan is now 2 weeks old, and his favorite past time this past couple days is sleeping, second only to eating... and definitely growing. I think I notice a double chin forming, and there is a lot more pudge on those cute little arms and legs.

Time Flies...

It's hard to believe just how quickly a day can go by, hours just melting away. We've been home for 9 days now, and Lucas is 11 days old. He has evolved daily, becoming more and more alert, and more captivating. Jimmy, Lucas, and I have been enjoying the time home getting used to the new family. Jimmy goes back to work tomorrow. Lucas and I will miss him!!
