Movin' and Groovin'

Wow! I am really behind in my blogging! Mr. Lucas is partly to blame for that because he is soooo active now! He is crawling and pushing and standing and jumping and almost walking! He walks around his toys and around the couches holding on.

Here is a video of how much he moves around!

Since it has been such a wonderful week, we spent a lot of time outside playing around!


Last weekend, Lucas experienced his first boat ride at Lake Lanier on Grandma and Pop-Pop's boat. He loved driving the boat and honking the horn!

After the lake, we met Mimi and Pops over at Whole Foods to do a little shopping and eating.


Tuesday, Lucas had his first ever Music class at Gymboree. We went over to Sam and Miss Olivia's house to ride with them. I think Lucas might have an admirer because Olivia was cracking up at Lucas moving around and babbling. She even tried to hold his hand!

At the music class, we danced and played a bunch of instruments. Lucas was obsessed with the maracas and the drum. The class was fun, but I'm not sure if we will go back to that particular one. Lucas loves music, but I play the same instruments at home with him and he seems more involved with me than at the class. This upcoming Tuesday, we are trying out a Play and Learn class at Gymboree where Lucas will get to crawl around and play bubbles with some other children. Hopefully, he will enjoy this class a little more.









Wednesday, I took Lucas to the doctor again because he still had a really yucky nose when he woke up in the mornings. After the doctor checked him out, she said that he had a sinus infection! Poor thing. We are now going on 3 weeks dealing with a cold. Hopefully the two weeks of antibiotics will help him.

Thursday night, we met GiGi, my parents and some close family friends, Allie and Kathy, for dinner at Cazadores in Marietta. This is our all time favorite Mexican restaurant. Lucas was great for dinner and was the star of the restaurant. Then on Friday, we also met Kathy and Allie at Chick-fil-A before they left town. Lucas really enjoyed playing with Allie!









Below is a video of one of the cutest things Lucas has ever done!!!!!!! I was so proud of him. Lucas loves to push his toys around the house. So, I was playing around with him and asked him if he would like to help me with the laundry....and here is what he did...

Saturday, Lucas still wasn't feeling up to venturing out too much. Which was sad, because one of my closest friends from high school had a baby shower in Alabama that we couldn't go to. She still hasn't met Lucas so I was really looking forward to showing him off!
That night, we took him up to Dahlonega with Mimi and Pops and ate dinner and then walked around the square.

Sunday, we had a perfect family day! First we had a wonderful big breakfast and made Lucas some fresh mango and pears. Then, we went to the Chattahoochee River and had a picnic lunch and walked on the boardwalk.

Lucas discovered a whole plum at the park and was obsessed with it! He kept licking it and trying to bite it with his two bottom teeth. It kept him occupied for quite awhile!









Well, I can't believe that Lucas will be 8 MONTHS tomorrow! Check back soon for his 8 month updates on what he is eating and his favorite activities!
