Mango Season!

Lucien is now 6 and a half months old.   And Baby it is Mango Season!  We haven't had time to make any updates as we run around the neighborhood collecting mangos.  Spend our days cutting up mangos.  And get fat eating mangos.  

We're having a great time with him laughing and learning and playing every day.  He is just starting to sit up but still tumbles over every now and then.  He loves to stand up with assistance and jump around - a ball full of energy.  He's always determined to be in arm's reach of his toys and grasp them so he is starting to propel himself forward and crawl.  He's tried a lot of vegetables and fruits and loves them all.  He will never turn down a bite of slop or a spot of milk.  He's still waking Mom up in the m

iddle of the night but I'm used to it and have decid

ed to love the middle of the night attention from Lucien.  No teeth yet but one is bound to pop through soon to crunch down on the delicious mango.

Happy Mother's Day!

It is my first Mother's Day and I love it!  Thanks Lucien for the wonderful day at the spa.  We had a great weekend going on new adventures with Lucien.  We threw on the swim trunks and went over to check out Henry's new pool.  Lucien took a dip and splashed around before his little lips started quivering.  

The next day we took him out to the beach!  He's a beach bum in the making.  He loved to just sit back and watch the waves, Daddy fishing, and all the people playing around him.  

Lucien is almost 6 months old.  He's tried bananas, applesauce, and pears so far.  The pears are the favorite although they upset his tummy a little.  He's still drinking a lot of milk and Mommy is still producing.  We're going to start to give him pure formula to slowly wean him away from the breast milk.  

Lucien got a new toy last week - a walker.  He shuffles around the house in it, we're just thinking of ways to add a mop to the back of him so we can put him to work.  He already helps out in the mornings by pushing the button and opening the garage door.
