November

As I mentioned in my last post, I took very few photos of Lucas during November. So few, in fact, that I'll get through November in one post. How's that for catching up?

Back on November 1, we had some friends visit with their baby daughter. Some of the pictures Lucas took with her were nice...


Others? Not so much. We'll really need to have a word with him about the birds and bees soon.


Bad dad that I am, I'm trying to get Lucas into comic books at a real early age. What can I say? I still read them regularly.


Hmm, I just realized the only other pictures I took of him in November are already posted here. So that's all for November, folks. However, I do have a video from that set that I never posted that is nice and humiliating so consider this bonus footage.





Here's another cute video of Bat-Lucas running around the kitchen island. Well, cute until the kind of sad ending. He turned out okay, though.





The only other November photos I have are from my 20th high school reunion, but I doubt this is the forum for seeing a bunch of drunk 38-year-olds.

In the next post, I'll probably jump back to the present for a before-and-after of his haircut from this past weekend. BIG difference.

Silly kid

From moments ago...Lucas all dressed up and ready for school. Who needs pants?

One More Year

In my last post, I finally got through October. The good news about November (for me, anyway) is that we took very few pictures so it won't take very long to get through it. How few? I only took pictures of Lucas on 3 separate days in November. So 2 posts tops will get me into December, when I remembered to start using the camera more frequently again.

November will have to wait though since I want to post a couple of recent items. As many of you know, last Thursday was my (ugh) 39th birthday. To help celebrate it, Marilu made my favorite cake, a Coca-Cola cake, and Lucas actually posed for the camera. Below, you'll see a great picture of the event as well as a short video of Lucas helping me blow out the candles. Enjoy!






In case you can't tell, Lucas isn't waving at the camera throughout the video. He's trying to clear the smoke from the candles.

Enough with October, already!

The problem with posting pictures from eons ago--October, in this case--is that I've posted some of them already, back when October was classified as current. So I have to switch back and forth from the entry creation page that I'm on now and the blog itself, reviewing just what the heck I posted back in October and early November. Heavens forbid I post the same picture twice, what with this being a professional publication and all. So with that said, let's hope none of these are do-overs.

This is pretty much just a "Lucas Eating" photo, with the extra addition of a jungle hat I bought on a cruise I took back in 2001.


Coloring time! On a related note, his daycare provider praised his coloring ability yesterday. I guess he does a really good job at staying in the lines. I can't say I'm up-to-date with what the 2-and-a-half-year-old standards are for crayon usage nowadays, but it still sounds like quite an accomplishment. Next step: not peeing all over the couch.


This next picture is from when we were testing out his Tigger costume about a week before Halloween, to make sure he would wear it. You've already seen plenty of pictures of the costume from Halloween night itself, but what I love about this picture is his face. There is definitely something devilish going on there. Kind of makes me think I should lock my bedroom door at night...once he figures out how to open his own door (he's not mentally challenged, he just has one of those safety things over the knob). Click the picture for a larger view if you can't see the expression.


Heh, while uploading, I noticed that last picture was #6606. How appropriate. In this next picture, he was playing dress-up. Apparently, dressing up as one thing at a time isn't good enough for our son. Ladies and gentlemen, Spider Soldier.


I thought I'd already posted this next one, but then I realized I got confused since it was my computer wallpaper for a couple of months. Just Lucas posing with a Halloween decoration, but I thought it was cute.


Finally, we wrap up October with this cute one of Lucas and Marilu napping on the couch.


If you are wondering where the Halloween ones, I would advise you to visit this entry from November 3: Halloween 2009.

Next time, onward to November. At this rate, I should be through it by summer!
