lucas is 4 months today!

and he's a big little boy, too! apparently he's tall and thin, just like pop (66cm, 6.5 kilos = 26in., 15lbs).. no hair yet though.. just a little peach fuzz, it looks like it will be a very light reddish blonde. but really there's just not enough of it to tell definitively. we tell him he has the same haircut as grampa.

he's discovering his hands, and gradually making progress with that. he can pick something up if he decides to, and usually it goes straight to his mouth. he also tries to put his pacifier in by himself but cant always find the nipple side. it's fun to watch and difficult to not "help" him.. i just tell myself that i already know how to pick things up, and it's his turn to learn! but i dont let him get too frustrated, or else it wouldnt be fun.

i just started going to an anglophone mommy group. it's very nice, i look forward to it really.. 2x a week, and it's only a 15 minute walk from my house. the 1st time i went, lucas was sitting in my lap while all us ladies were talking around a large table, and after a few minutes he wanted to participate. he started whoooing and haahhing like he was saying his piece too. it was too cute, and now he has a bunch of new girlfriends.

and he rolled over by himself! he didnt do it again for a few days, but then did it twice in 15 minutes.. i think he's really getting the hang of it!

ive started having dreams about taking care of him too.. as if my every waking hour isnt enough. they're very tedious dreams, that i never actually get where i'm going, but the processes involved in doing it with him are worked out in minute detail.
