The speed at which Lucas is developing and learning is so fast these days, that it now seems silly to write a monthly post about what he can do. It's no longer, "he can roll over to the left but not the right yet and he's swatting at his gym toys". Now, Lucas is making up games to play with us, can drink from a cup without supervision, can climb on any and everything fairly safely, and can buckle his own carseat chest harness. He can name and recognize 3 letters from his alphabet magnets (O, A and E are the only ones he's asked us to name so he can learn them so far), his speech is getting closer to understandable, and I can't even begin to name all the words he knows. Laith and I think he's pretty amazing and we're really enjoying watching him grow.
Lucas's current favorites are:
1. Rocks (we find small collections of them everywhere... in his juice cup, in a chair, in the hamper)
2, Dinosaurs (just caught him putting one in the toaster oven the other day- oh my!)
3, Animals (particularly pigs, cats, and monkeys)
4. Anything that growls- which, according to Lucas, includes coffee, rocks, and burritos. :)
5. Playing outside with, you guessed it, rocks. And also any push or ride-on toys.
6. Singing games like "the grand old duke of york" and "eensey weensey spider".
And finally, for those who care about such things, :) he's 32 inches tall and 20.8 pounds.

Hi Jenna,
I don't have your email address or anything so I thought I'd just post a comment here. Thanks so much for having us over for dinner while we were in Austin! It was great to meet Laith and see how much Lucas has grown. He's such a big kid now! We had a great time. Anytime you're up in the OH/WV area, let us know. We'd be happy to give you the grand tour of Athens.
