Christmas 2011!

Id say Lucas' first christmas was a success :)He woke up cranky as usual, but after breakfast his mood turned right around and we turned on a pandora christmas station and got down to it. He seemed a little intrested in the unwrapping of the gifts which was cool! We didnt get him much but I think he loves it all. We spent hours afterward playing with everything.

Flashback Friday

35 weeks Pregnant

This picture was taken one year ago today. It doesnt even feel like it was that long ago! I just finished wrapping that little nugget inside my bellys first christmas gifts. Time sure does fly by even though we all wish it wouldnt. Cant wait to see what he does christmas morning :)

Coming home

Lucas is becoming a BIG mommas boy, naturally, since im home all day with him. He used to go to anyone and not have a problem, but now thats getting harder and harder. Alot of times he will be really angry if I even leave him with Tim. But on ocassion hes fine, that is, until I come home. I started standing at the door and listening to see if hes crying, and he wouldnt be. But the second I open the door, he starts walking up to me sobbing. Tim said that he will be perfectly fine until he hears me open the door and that his face is so funny when he hears it. So, the last 2 times I went out we decided I would text Tim and let him know I was back and he would videotape him so I could see how funny he reacts. This is what we got... P.S make sure your sound is up all the way, the audio is kinda low. We get a kick out of these. Enjoy!

10 Months!

Well we all know how fast this is going, so lets just get right into it :) In his 10th month he has started clapping! He absolutely looves to clap! When were watching Ellen and the audience claps, he claps with them. Its really cute! We have been working on getting him to wave. He kinda has it. But, its still a work in progress! Lately when he gets mad, he starts to growl. I have no idea where that came from, but its kind of funny. Hes also starting to throw fits. Thats really fun...not! Were pretty sure he knows NO, but he just thinks its a game. Hes getting a personality which can be challenging at times, but its still lots of fun :)

October footage

The clip in the middle is of the latest launch here. It was the first one since weve been living on base. We were just standing in our backyard at 240 am! Enjoy :)

9 Months

How crazy, that he has almost been in this world, as long as he was in my belly! Its insane how fast the last 9 months have gone by. Today was his 9 mo checkup. He weighs 18.6 and is 29.1 in. At his last checkup, which was 6 mo, he was in the 65th percentile for weight. Today, hes in the 24th! He hasn't gained very much weight at all in the last 3 months. She wasnt worried though since hes walking and is so active. She said that we can start feeding him some real food. Stuff like macaroni, potatos, bread and butter, among many other things. I gave him some bread and butter after his lunch today and he loved it! Milestones from the past month: - He now has 6 teeth - He can high five :) - He says dada! - Hes officially walking - Hes out of his infant carrier and into a big boy carseat

31m31d week 3

This week...not so great. After my run monday my neck started hurting. The following 3 days was HORRIBLE. I must have pulled a muscle or something. I could barely turn it without excruciating pain. Luckily its starting to feel a little better now and I was able to go out for a 2 miler yesterday. I guess its a good thing I got a bunch of miles out of the way early! This weeks total was 7.81, which brings me up to 27.92. Im pretty happy about that. Im really thinking im not gonna make my personal goal though. Im finding it hard to get past the 3 miles. It may just be a mind thing though. The girls ive been running with can run ALOT more than me too. So, thats kind of intimidating!

August Video

Its not much but I finally got August video clips together. All september really is, is video from yosemite, mostly of scenery and such. I will try to video more this month! :)

On the Move

It didnt take long for him to catch on to the whole walking thing. Sometimes, if he goes slow enough, he can walk clear across the room! Most of the time he trys to run and can only get a few steps in before he face plants. Sorry for the lack of pictures and videos lately. Im going to try to get back on top of that! Hes got his 9 month check up on Nov 3rd too, so soon we'll have some updates on his stats!

31m31d Week 2

Week 2 was better. I ran 11.75 miles this week bringing my total up to 20.11! My feet are starting to hurt though because my running shoes are past thier prime. I actually found out that theres a mini running club on base so thursday and friday night I ran with another girl. It was nice having someone to run with again (besides Lucas ;) haha). At the beginning of the week I was doubting my self about my personal goal of wanting to run 5 miles without stopping, but im starting to feel more optimistic again. All I can do is try my best!

31 miles in 31 days

Blogger Sarah is doing an october running challenge which I am participating in! The challenge is to run 31 miles in 31 days. I think this is awsome. Its such great motivation for me to run more than I already do. Since Oct 1st ive run 8.36 miles. I would have liked it to be more but thats okay theres still plenty of time left. My personal goal by the end of the month is to run 5 miles in one session( without stopping). The most ive ever done at once was 3.5m. Im using a cool website called map my run to map out jogging routes and keeping track of my progress. I will post a weekly update letting you all know how im doing :) Ill also post a screen shot of my progress!
