Family Day

All of Lucas's family went to his grandparents today.  It was chaotic but fun.

Great Grandparents

Today we trekked up to Frankenmuth and brought lunch from Zender's back to Lucas's grandparents.  It was delicious.  It was great to catch up with them and to introduce them to David. 

The Art Institute of Chicago

Willis, Bean, and the Zoo

Busy tourist day in Chicago.  Went up the Willis Tower.  It was very cloudy but thankfully we were patient enough to wait out the clouds, it cleared up and we were able to have some great views.  Afterwards we headed to the Bean and took the obligatory reflection photos.  Had a late lunch with Kelly.  It was great to see her and catch up.  Went to Lincoln Park Zoo to finish up the day.  It was raining but we still had a great time.  A lion came right up to David and stared at him.  It was pretty neat.

 

Plane Ride and Wisconsin

The start of our Wisconsin/Michigan trip.

David did good on his first plane trip.  Probably slept a total of 40mins out of 2hrs but he was pretty happy and just wanted to be held and played with.  We landed, picked up the rental, and drove the 2hrs to see Lucas's best friend Dave and his family.  The car ride was worse than the plane but we all survived.  

We had a good weekend with the Lindesmith's.  Did some hiking, football watching, and lots of eating.  

Dress Rehearsel

We are going to Lucas's cousin's wedding next week and of course David got an adorable outfit for the event.  I put him in it today to make sure it all fit.  It turned out to be the most adorable thing I have ever seen.  My adorable baby in a bow tie, try and beat that!

Peach Juice

David's been a little backed up lately so we tried giving him some peach juice (water with pureed peach in it) to try to help him out.  His reaction is pretty funny and I think he kinda liked it.

6 Months!

Happy 6 months David!  I can't believe it's already been half a year. 

Exciting things that have happened:  smiles that light up his whole face, sitting attempts, long stretches of sleeping, lots of laughing, talking, and food to name a few.

It's so exciting to see him become a person and get a personality. He is definitely a social baby who adores attention and will give big smiles to anyone who gives him some.  David is starting to sit!  He's been really trying to do it by himself and it will be nice soon to not have to prop him anymore.  Food = meh according to David.  We have tried giving him avocado and he acted very offended.  He reaches for our food but then we try to give him some and no absolutely not.  It's something that we will have to work on more soon.

Happy Birthday London

We went and celebrated London's 3rd birthday today.  Laurel did a great job at the party.  The highlight was definitely watching the Olaf pinata catch on fire about a group of kids fighting over candy.  Ah memories.

Yay fror Grandparents

Lucas went to Buenos Aries for the week and my parents were nice enough to drive back and spend the week with David and I.  It was a big week.  We even drove up to Ft Worth for a night.  David got in lots of flying and sitting practice with Poppa.
