January 7-13

Lucas is 3 months old this week!  He is growing and changing so fast.  He is crying more, especially if Mommy isn't there!  He is still a very happy baby, content to just look around and check things out.  He has been grabbing more.  I remember now why I always cut my hair after I have babies!  He grabs it and pulls all the time, plus I just hit the stage where I am losing tons of it anyway.  He has discovered he can play with the binky in his mouth.  He smiles and is so proud to grab it and play with it, then he inevitably pulls it out of his mouth and he gets mad.  It's pretty cute, because we know what's coming when he gets a hold of it.  He gets frustrated with toys.  He wants to put them in his mouth but isn't sure how yet.  He tries to do a sit up to get to it instead of pulling his hand to his mouth.  He loves to flap his arms and kick his legs.  He laughs and giggles so much now.  He thinks getting dressed and undressed is hilarious.  He especially thinks having shirts pulled over his head is so funny!  Not a typical baby that way.  He drools so much that we go through multiple bibs a day and he still soaks his outfit and onsie underneath.  According to Matt's mom that is how he was as a baby even though he didn't get teeth until much older.  Between the drool and spit up, he is a hard baby to keep dry!  He loves to vocalize and talk, and is so happy when you talk back to him.  We are all enjoying him so much.

 3 Months Old, Handsome and Smiley!

 Emilyn was supposed to be cleaning the playroom, and we found her asleep on the stairs!

 We were having family movie night, Scooby Doo the movie, and Lucas was working so hard to see the T.V.  He loves it already.  I better be careful or I'll have three little television addicts!

 My friend Suzanne has been cutting my hair since I was in college.  I got a referral to her from a friend when I was ready to start having my hair done in Utah instead of when I went home on vacation.  Over the past 14 years or so I have spent lots of time with her, and I'm going to miss her so much!  She is leaving the country for love and to be with her husband, and I wish her the best of luck.  She has been cutting the girls hair since they were babies.  I'm not sure they'll let anyone else cut it!


Emilyn Quotes:

She has so many girls for friends in the neighborhood that she plays mostly with girls.  Because of this she has developed the idea that she doesn't like boys.  She does not understand why I do!
E:  Why are you so in love with Daddy?  Why do you kiss on the lips?  I am never ever going to marry a boy again!

"I love Yoda because he is so green."

"Anytime baby cries just give him some milk Mom."

Matisyn Quotes:

"Mom, would your milk freeze if you go outside in the cold?  I don't think we should let you go out there, baby doesn't like his milk freezed."

Matisyn is a little learning sponge, especially when it comes to science.  The other day she told us after watching a Bill Nye that we could no longer mow our lawn because it causes noise pollution.  She also taught Grandma about comets.  She also thinks we should drive around the world to some where that is having summer since it's so cold here.  It has been a FREEZING winter!

This is along with Matisyn's love for science and knowledge.  My friend Emily texted me the other morning after taking Matisyn to the bus saying I have the most dramatic daughter ever!  I definitely know that!  When she got in her car she said, "Oh, that was so hard, I had to hold my breath because the air quality is so bad today.  I can't believe I had to go out there."
