Lucas is ONE!

Lucas
12 months


written Sunday, December 28th. 
Happy Birthday, Lucas! This has been the craziest and most fun month.  Between our trip to Breckenridge for Thanksgiving, your first birthday, and a slew of Christmas celebrations, we have had LOTS of fun.

I never realize how much you have changed in one short month until reading through these posts.  Granted, it has been closer to a month and a half between this and your last post.  You are listening so carefully to every word your dad and I say.  You smack your lips when asked if you're "hungry", or want "breakfast", "lunch", or "dinner".  You wiggle around when we ask if you're "all done" and flail your arms about when we say "go crazy!". You point to everything, usually say "BAH!", but I'm starting to notice differences.  When asked to get a book you go to your book basket saying, "Buh" and will pick out one of your favorites and bring it for us to read.  You LOVE all things ball, "BAH", especially all the "bah's" on the Christmas tree! You are also getting quite good at identifying your head, ears, nose, belly and toes.  Playing peek-a-boo and clapping are also fun games, especially in the car.

Another huge milestone met this month, you're walking! December 10th you came home and were taking steps across the kitchen. You had taken steps here and there before, but on this day you were confidently WALKING.  You haven't stopped since, and are practically running across the room at this point.  

Weight: 24 lbs (67%tile)


Length: 31 inches (75%tile)
Diaper Size: 4's, but considering switching to 5's very soon.

Clothes Size: 12-18 and some 18-24 month.

Hair Color: Looking more blonde, less strawberry.

Eye color: Blue, although sometimes your eyes look very green.





Health: A little cold, but nothing terrible, thankfully! You also seem to be teething like mad, but I haven't seen any new teeth poke through in a while.  You're still rocking 4 total at this point.


Eating: This month we've transitioned to all solid food, i.e. no purees.  For the most part, you'll eat just about anything, however you definitely love sugar.  After your birthday cake you refused pretty much all dinners for a few days.  Luckily, you're past that now!  We started supplementing formula at the beginning of December-- about  6-9 ounces each day.  After your birthday, you've easily transitioned to whole milk.  We're now slowly transitioning away from the bottle completely.  It all happens so fast!! You still nurse once each day at the very first feeding of the day.
