Lucas 7 Months

My Lucas is 7 months old! I can’t believe it. He is the absolute sweetest, happiest baby. He may wake up earlier than we would like some days but seeing his bubbly face makes it all worth it. He’s starting to eat food and makes epic faces at sweet/tart items. He’s still nursing and demands … More Lucas 7 Months

Lucas Month 5

Two toes up for two teeth! It appears our boy is double jointed in his toes because he can hold them up like thumbs and it cracks people up. He also has two little (although strong) front bottom teeth. We don’t know if it’s the teething, daycare or mystery reason but he had his first … More Lucas Month 5

Lucas Month 4

Our little man is coming into his own and he has a sweet, fun personality. He continues to be inquisitive and captivated by the world around him. He loves his Piggy and lamb rattle. They are key soothing tools/chew toys. Aunt B likes to remind him they are ‘friends not food’ but he’s not convinced. His … More Lucas Month 4

Lucas Month 3

A quarter of a year has passed with our little man. I love him more and more every day. He is finally responsive and in our totally unbiased minds a baby genius. A couple weeks ago Lucas started picking up his rattle and shaking it. The first time he did it he rattled himself to … More Lucas Month 3

Lucas Month 2

Two months! Two amazing, fantastic, glorious months with my little man. I don’t want to give the false impression that everything is perfect because it’s not. Lucas can be inconsolable unless fed at times, he will refuse to sleep and scream out of exhaustion, he’s also not great at being alone but I honestly don’t … More Lucas Month 2

Lucas at 1 Month

Lucas at one month is seriously as perfect as they come – look at that forehead, my Elmer Fud and his rabbit. He’s not a crier or whiner. He likes to be cuddled but he’s as content sleep in his cradle and he’s great about being passed around to his frequent stream of visitors. His only … More Lucas at 1 Month

Meet Lucas

He finally arrived! Our little big guy Lucas Mikhail came into the world on March 2nd at an unexpected 9lbs 1oz and it’s been the most wonderful, amazing 5 days. Danny and I are completely in love and spend our time telling him that. What’s not to love? Look at that face! He’s the perfect blend … More Meet Lucas

Lucas’ Nursery

After months of careful preparation it’s finally time to reveal Lucas’ nursery! As previously noted, the inspiration was 1940s Captain America. Roosevelt era history is my passion and something I hope Lucas will also appreciate. I love MARVEL movies/Netflix and it’s a ‘boy’ thing. The Cap is my favorite so it is the perfect blend. … More Lucas’ Nursery

Month 8

The look of a sick and stuffy pregnant lady… Less than two months away from meeting Lucas. It’s exciting and nerve-wrecking simultaneously. Honestly, my nerves are being wrecked regardless. This kid’s movement is consistently inconsistent and I can never tell if he’s a narcoleptic like me, chill like Danny or distressed. The fact that recognizing … More Month 8

Lucas’ Baby Shower

This weekend we were beyond spoiled with love and presents by friends and family. Cara took the lead and planned an AMAZING party  that was more fun and perfect than I ever imagined it could be. And Danny earned all kinds of good husband points by staying the entire time to be photographer (and charming … More Lucas’ Baby Shower
