Growing Up

Alas, my "easy" baby days are over

Lucas had been army crawling since 6 months old; and started crawling on his hands and knees about 2 weeks ago. As of the end of last week he started to stand up with his hands resting on things i.e. toys etc.

But today I realized I'm very close to having my hands very full. I went into his room to pick him up as he had woken up from his nap and this is what I found...

I can pull myself all the way up and stand!
Next thing I know he's going to be walking and trying to crawl out of his bed. Definitely time for him to graduate to his "real" crib!

First Beach Trip

I recently went to the beach with my Mom, brother Jared and his wife Marissa, and Marissa's family who were visiting from Illinois. Marissa's family hadn't been to Oregon or even the beach before so it was neat to take them to some Oregon fave spots. Tillamook Cheese Factory, Canyon beach and Mo's seafood restaurant to name a few. This was also Lucas's first trip to the beach as well so I got some great pics of him!

Perfectly Posed

Happy boy!
