Lucas at 9 Months

Lucas is a very busy nine month old! He is now pulling himself up on just about everything in our house:) We finally purchased a baby gate for the bottom of the stairs when we found that he could climb up very quickly! He is also practicing standing by himself and his record is 5 seconds. At his doctor's appointment this past week he weighed 18 lbs and 10 oz. Still a very slim baby! His height was 29 1/2 inches, which puts him in the 80%. So, he is evening out. He eats 3 meals a day and has begun taking some interest in finger foods. He especially likes grains such as toast, cheerios, waffles and pancakes. We are still working on that sippy cup! As of now he still prefers to use it as a toy :)

Let me help you with that daddy

Family Visit

This past Sunday we drove to Frederick, MD to visit with family at my Aunt Carol and Uncle John Snyder's house. We saw my Aunt Renie and cousins Michael and Bethany. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

A Visit From Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa Parlato came to visit this weekend for Easter. We made a trip to the park on Saturday, and then had some Easter fun on Sunday.
