five months old

this month, lucas has begun to learn how to sit up by himself. his first attempt lasted long enough for me to run and get the camera. he's not a pro yet (he's still doing faceplants), but he's getting there! lucas is also showing more interest in his toys, talking (babbling) and laughing a LOT, and we can see two little white spots on his lower gums. it looks like his first two teeth are soon to arrive. stay tuned!

mommy's little firecracker, daddy's little bottle-rocket

we took lucas on his first vacation this weekend to celebrate the grand ole' fourth of july. we went down to cannon beach on the oregon coast with some friends to have some fun and enjoy some fireworks. we had a great time! lucas did really well on the drive down, and he did great throughout the weekend. we were worried that he would be afraid of the loud noise from the fireworks, but he did just fine laying against his daddy's chest all night long.
