Another 1st!

So we decided that it was time for another milestone and get Lucas his very first hair cut. We waited as long as we could to do this but the time had come to get his growing hair out of his eyes and go for a more hip big boy look.  I wasn't sure how he was going to do at the kiddie hair salon but if I had to give him a grade it would surely be an A+!  Way to go Lucas.  I will say although he never cracked a smile or let out a little laugh I think he thought this was OK!

"I hope she knows what she is doing?"

Drinking with Two Hands

So I am trying to get caught up on everything that has been going on with us so I will start with this milestone we hit late last week.  Lucas began to drink from his cup with two hands! To some that may sound like something quite simplistic but to us it was HUGE. For much of Lucas' life use or arms to lift his body or hold on to things has been a bit of a task for us and one we have spent lots of time working on.  Since Lucas is now one I wanted to begin challenging him a bit more with the whole idea of self-feeding. When the little man put both hands on his cup and angled it into his mouth I felt like screaming with excitement.  Luckily I didn't do that since it would have scared him and made him cry. (Shame on mommy for almost doing that!)  We are continuing to work on all aspects of self-feeding and moving towards our milestones...one day at a time.

Drinking all by myself!
