Musings of a Creative Mommy: Fall Update of Lucas!

Lucas is getting SO big!! He is going to be TWO in February, and he is ready to grow up lol. Although he still has his baby moments, (which I love) he is so smart and helpful. He loves his "shoos" and "socks" and he loves Batman. He will find his hat or anything with Batman on it and put it on and say "I Batman" in a growl. It is the cutest thing ever. He loves snow globes and always wants me to make our snow globes snow and play music. He loves giving our statue of Jesus hugs (haha I didn't teach him that) and he is such a funny character. Sometimes when he is being silly he will put his arms out and run around laughing. He will say "peek a boo" and "Memo" (for Finding Nemo) as he asks to watch his favorite movie.

I can't believe how fast he has grown! He weighs 25.8 pounds, and I need to measure how tall he is :) But he is pretty tall for his age! He loves hats and putting his socks on his hands for gloves. He wouldn't leave the real gloves I have for him on, but he thinks its funny to wear the socks on his hands. He will go down for a nap and I will come in after he makes noise and he will have reached into his top drawer and gotten out a pair of shoes and put them on haha SO CUTE.

He loves to use his little seat that fits on top of the toilet, and he pooped in the toilet once. I try to have him "try" when I notice that he is noticing that he has peed or noticing his diaper. I think it would be more successful if I had a way to keep him on the toilet longer. He tries for a good ten minutes then tries to get off because he is bored. I give him magazines like the friend or family fun. He even likes looking at daddy's video game magazines. I have tried singing with him, making up potty songs and even giving him toys to distract him. I'm not sure what to do, I don't think he is ready for underwear yet, so I still have him in diapers, but I want to get to a point where he wants to only go in the toilet. If anyone has any advice for me, I would LOVE it!

Here are some photos of him that were taken recently. Enjoy!
