Lots going on

8 Months
Sorry long post and lots of pictures and videos.
I know I say this every month but I really can't believe Lucas is 8 months old already. This month has been crazy because he has learned so much and it has kept me very busy. He has learned to sit up all on his own which has made sleeping not so easy anymore. Before I would just be able to put him down and he would fall right to sleep. Now if we put him in the crib he will play stand up sit down. So now we get to rock him, which I love because he has never let us rock him before. He used to just like going straight to bed with none of the wind down stuff before. He loves when we read to him and he loves being sang to. Colt will even sing to him. Lucas still loves to sleep. He is still taking 3 naps a day. I tried going down to 2 naps because that's what I thought he wanted but 2 naps just wasn't enough. He just got way off schedule from going to St. George. That is why I really like staying to his schedule because it make my life and his so much easier to handle. Lucas is very busy and crawling all over the place now and getting into EVERYTHING. Lucas loves everything he can't have like cell phone, power cords, and remotes. Lucas loves to eat, he is such a good little eater and will eat anything. He loves playing outside and going on walks. He loves his baths and going swimming. He is starting to snuggle a little more with us which I love when it happens.

As for Colt and I, we both are keeping very busy with work. Colt is working full time at the hospital and part time for home care and going to school full time. I am working part time for home care. I have starting scrapbooking a lot. I love it, it now takes up all my free time. It is the biggest stress reliever for me. Colt is almost done with his first semester of the RN program. He will be done in May! Yeah! There is finally light at the end of the tunnel. We can see it.

Lucas always makes this scrunchy face. He will sit and do that at random people. I think its pretty funny.

Lucas is all over his crib now when he sleeps. Ever since he learned to sit up all by himself, putting him to sleep has not been so easy for us anymore. Now he just wants to play the stand up sit down game in his crib.

Lucas playing in his basket of toys and bouncing in his new jumper.

Playing in the water at Grandma's house. He is a wild boy. Can you tell?

We got him a little swimming pool so we can go swimming out on our deck. It's is nice to have. It's gives us something to do in this hot weather and it wears him out enough that he will take a good nap.

St. George

This is us at St. George. Colt finally got to go with us this time. We had fun swimming in the pool. Lucas loved to play in the fountain they had there. While on this trip Lucas learned to sit himself up. He even sat himself up and feel asleep that way. It was pretty funny. I wish I had a picture of it.
Oquirrh Mountain Temple


We went to the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house with my mom, Tony, little sis Carley and my niece Madison.

Steel Days



We went to Steel Days. Lucas got to ride the train. Colt won a few prizes for him. Then all he wanted to do was walk around holding his slinky.

Lucas is crawling. He does this weird thing with his leg and kinda always keeps it under him. I think so it's easier for him to sit back down.

We finally got Lucas a jumper. I have wanted to get him one for a long time now. I did a lot a research and found that this one was the best for us and got the best reviews even over the Baby Einstein one. He loves it.
