So, we woke up to a beautiful Sunday morning and with the knowledge that it'll stay lighter later into the day (more of a chance for afternoon stroller rides through Brentwood!). We made an attempt to stroll him down to the Farmer's Market this morning, and though we didn't quite make it that far, we had a nice jaunt through our neighborhood; and, more importantly, we got to stop at Starbucks (did I mention we're sleep deprived?).
Since the last post- sorry it took us so long, Jessica- Lucas has been
playing on the Boppy with his animals (see below), discovered his tongue, smiled for the first time (we're pretty sure it was real), and fell in love with the "football hold," which is second only to running water as the fail-safe way of settling him down.
The football hold, as demonstrated by "Mommy":
We've now been parents on our own for two weeks and things are going great so far. MVP goes to Karen for her brilliant work as a stay at home mom. Jay has no idea how she does that. I think Karen has no idea how she does it sometimes either. Luckily, we were already able to go out on our first date last week! "Auntie Dara" and her good friend Lindsay became Lucas' first non-Grandparent babysitters (pictures below). Jay and Karen were a little anxious to leave him, but a mid-dinner cell phone photo from Dara alleviated all fears. Jay actually completely forgot about Lucas while eating his Flintstone-sized rib eye, "the best steak I've ever had."
Two more weeks until Spring Break! Can't get here soon enough! Bye for now, but first the bonus photo of the week, "Bathtime."
