December 2008

This month came with a lot of changes and a lot of fun! Lucas changed drastically, Brian and I went on our first date, and of course there was Christmas and our Anniversary.

Lucas started to scoot around backwards whenever he was left to roam on the floor and he also started reaching for people. Now when I go to pick him up, I reach out my arms first and then he reaches out his as well (most of the time anyway - occasionally I am rejected).

All three of us got colds around the middle of the month, and it is horrible having a sick child. I don't know how mom's do it when they have a bunch of kids. To top things off Lucas also got his first tooth on the 17th! Luckily he didn't take it too bad, and with the assistance of a little orajel we got through it just fine.

Christmas was so much fun this year (aside from the lack of money)! Lucas actually got into opening presents pretty well. He loves paper so we just had to pull up a corner and he would pull the paper to his mouth and then we would give him another piece to rip. Brian got some hunting snow boots that he had been wanting and I got a web cam and tripod.

Brian and I got to go on two dates this month! We saw two movies - in the theaters - and we also got to go out to dinner for our anniversary. Life is so different with Lucas that it was a bit of a circus trying to get away but it was nice to have some time for ourselves after six months of parenthood. Thankfully we have wonderful family here who is more than happy to help out :)

We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and we hope to hear from you soon!
