Grandparents

We had back-to-back weeks of visits from grandparents which was so fun. Lucas met Grandma Veeta and Grandpa Chuck for the first time. We did lots of fun things like visit the botanical gardens, eat out (in a restaurant!), and cook. We also went to a baseball game. Fun times!

Lucas loved Grandpa Chuck's mustache.

Lucas loves to walk...with help.

Grandma Veeta was so good at feeding Lucas. She kept him really clean!

Love this picture. So funny!

Some Firsts!

We had a busy weekend last weekend with lots of firsts. Aunt Stephanie was here for a visit. We had so much fun with her and she was a big help. Lucas had rice cereal for the first time on Saturday. We also FINALLY bought him a crib. He has been too big for his bassinet for quite some time but in our hopes to sell our condo and avoid squeezing another piece of furniture in our small space, we postponed the inevitable. Finally we couldn't take any longer and did some shopping. We had to strap the crib box to the top of the car to get it home from the store. I'm sure we looked ridiculous!
Lucas rolled onto his tummy for the first time last night. Chad and I were eating dinner at the table watching him play on his mat. He rolled over all by himself twice giving us a great show. How fun!! He is getting so fun and cuter every day!!! We just love him to pieces.

Lucas is now four months old! We can't believe it. We just had a doctors appointment. He weighs 15 pounds and 4 ounces. He is 26 1/4" long. We are excited to start feeding him rice cereal, fruits, and veggies now that we got the okay from his pediatrician. Good times!!!

Heather's Wedding

We were in North Carolina last weekend for our friend Heather Hoge's wedding. The wedding was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, and the weather was beautiful. It was great to see and catch up with friends, some of whom we haven't seen in years like Leslie Croshaw and her husband Alex who we met for the first time. We were so sad that Kristi, Robert, and little Max McBride weren't able to make it. It was just not the same without them. There was definitely a piece missing.
Lucas did great. Here are some pictures.

Maddy was a beautiful flower girl!
