WHOA
Want to feel excited and overwhelmed all at the same time?? Sell one of your cars....then go look at new ones! We sold Erik's civic. It wasn't too much of a "family car" anyway. I am soooo excited about getting a new car, but soooo overwhelmed about taking on a car payment again. gulp. eek. yay!

Our Lately
Lucas will be 12 weeks tomorrow. He is growing and able to do so many new things every day! It is fun to watch him play. He will lay on his stomach for longer periods of time now and shows lots of interest in his toys. He is able to reach for them and can pull the toys near him, it is so impressive. I noticed that he "found his hands" this past week. He makes a point to touch and hold all things in his reach, I love it!
Lucas completely focuses on us and it is fun to talk with him. He stays awake for longer periods of time during the day and his naps are more predictable. Although we are not on a "schedule", we are getting there. Lucas' bedtime is 8pm and we do our best to have him bathed, fed, and changed for bed by then. He sleeps for longer and longer periods of time at night. At first, it was for 3 hour increments; then it was until about 2am. For the past two nights he has slept from 8pm until 4:30am,then eats and goes back to bed until 6:30 or 7:00am. I am SO pleased with this!
We are all feeling more confident in our roles and I am so grateful for this! I am enjoying motherhood so very much, every day brings something new! I am taking time to stare at Lucas when he is cuddled in my arms and trying to soak in all of his sweet baby coos and smiles and smells while he is this small! I think I could stare at him all day long...
Here are some pictures of this week.
Here he is with his monkey.
I showed Lucas this book today It was so much fun *reading* it with him, he loved it!.

Happy Father's Day
Today is Father's Day! I am excited to make Erik's first one a special one. Lucas and I got him an iphone to start his day off with and a fishing lure that will surely catch lots of big fish! Lucas is wearing a shirt that says "Daddy's Homerun Hero" so that should definitely make his day! ;)
Look how sweet Erik is with his son, I love watching and hearing them together!
My parents are coming to our house for a Father's Day dinner, as are Erik's Dad and his girlfriend. I am glad to spend the day with my dad and have Erik spend the day with his dad and his son.

Lake Trip
My parents came up to the lake on June 11. The three of us joined them that afternoon. Erik left on Sunday evening, but Lucas and I stayed until Thursday. It was awesome to be there with *Nonnie* and *Granddaddy*... very relaxing. I did manage to get some sun on my face, which I have not done in too long!! It was awesome to see my dad work his Granddaddy magic on Lucas... so sweet. I love the early mornings with my mom and Lucas, I wish we were able to start each day with her!
Nonnie and Granddaddy gave Lucas a sunhat and shades, he was definitely cooler because of them! Here he is sporting them on a boatride!

Fun times
Lucas and I have had quite the fun week. Tuesday we got to spend a little time with Jeanine and Kate at the Mall of Georgia, that was nice. We met Alyson and Claire for Tutti Frutti on Wednesday, that was lots of fun! We had a playdate at Duncan Creek Park with Dallas, Morgan, Charlotte, DJ, and Andrew (and their moms, too!)- great time, but hot! We ended that park date with a trip to Chickfila and Lucas did wonderfully! Then, on Friday, Katie came up to visit. We had lunch at Atlanta Bread Company, ran some errands, and went to the park. Lucas hung out in the Beco carrier while Katie and I hoofed it around the lake. It was perfect timing, because the sky opened up about an hour after we finished!
Today, we are going to veg. Jessica is coming to pick up some diapers for her sweet little girl. We were so lucky in that department and were given so many that we did not use them all! (Thanks, Mindy!) I can not believe he is ALREADY IN SIZE 2s... when does this happen??

8 weeks
Lucas was 8 weeks old on May 30th! He is getting quite the personality and is definitely king of the facial expressions. I love how much he is already interacting with us! I love that I get to be his mom!
