Sweet 14

He has changed--a lot!  Now, at 14 months, he is drinking milk again but he's becoming really picky with food.  Since he started eating solids at 6 months old until a month ago, he would just eat pretty much anything we give him.  Well, not anymore!  Even his favorite yogurt is no longer a hot commodity.

He's gotten taller but still skinny.  I find it just ok.  I like that he's not too big because I can easily dress him up.  He looks good in cute little jeans and T-shirts and even looks cute on shorts despite his skinny legs.  My cousin J joked that I should get him skinny jeans!  That I would not dare go for, or his dad would probably think I'm crazy!  Also, I don't want to give Lucas any reason to hate me when he gets older.

He's walking faster and faster everyday and he loves to walk.  He loves being outside.  It makes him happy!  He loves having other kids around--I think because he doesn't always see them.  He's with adults almost all the time.  When Nathan is around, Lucas is like a little dog chasing his master.  Nathan would sometimes get annoyed.  When Benjamin came to visit last weekend, Lucas kept kissing him!

There's one thing that hasn't changed much though.  He still remains a jolly little man who smiles big and giggles a lot!  You make a funny face and he will turn red laughing!  And this, this alone continues to melt my heart.
