Scattered shots

Feeling confident in his bright red rubber boots, the young toddler surveys the pile of laundry in front of him, grins, and thinks, "Time to destroy."




Step 1 complete. "Step 2: Mowing the lawn" and "Step 3: Shoveling snow" to follow. Then daddy can relax completely.


Someone was having a tad bit too much fun eating chocolate.


Why use a storage bin to organize all his kitchen accessories (seen piled above his head in the picture) when he can instead kick back and chill in it? Living the baby dream...


Words fail me on this one. What the heck is Lucas doing? Or me, for that matter?


Speaking of words, Lucas has been talking quite a bit lately. He still can't really string together a sentence, but he knows several words. Just a couple of nights ago, we got him to say "touchdown" while also raising his hands the way refs indicate a TD. That's one of the bigger words he can handle, but don't get me started on his whiny "no." Ugh, that's annoying.

Another cute phrase he has almost went unnoticed. For a while, he would say "up" when he wanted us to pick him up--usually to grab something out of his reach. Then, he started saying "uppies," which we just assumed was a toddlerized version of "up." Eventually, we put two and two together and realized "uppies" is his way of saying "up, please." Very cute AND polite. He says "yes, please" quite a bit so hopefully we'll have a respectful kid who likes football.

Until he is a teenager, and then all bets are off.

And what exactly was that last picture about? Hilarious!
