Lucas's Debut

Okay...it's so sad that Lucas hasn't received the accolades he deserves. He is almost nine months old and I am finally posting pictures of him. Lucas has such a great disposition and is generally content just to be. Praise God! He is such a blessing and we are in love! Lucas started rolling (really rolling) at 5 months, got his two bottom teeth at 6 months, started sitting up at 8 months, said "dada" at seven months and "mama" at 8 1/2 Months. We are working on crawling but he is content to let sister fetch toys for him and roll from place to place. He is a cuddler and a kisser and we have so enjoyed loving on him.

Lucas, what joy you bring to our family!!
