Our Amazing Lucas

For those of you who came here after reading my update on Facebook, sorry it took so long to update the blog. Some other things happened that got in the way of writing this entry.

Counting-this weekend Lucas was watching Sesame Street and the Count came on. He was counting to the number of the day. I wasn't really paying that much attention until I heard Lucas' sweet little voice counting along! He was about 2 seconds a head of the Count and made it all the way to 13. He loves to count the stairs as well.

The Alphabet-Marc was writing the letters of the alphabet on Lucas' new Aquadoodle. We haven't really practiced the letters yet but Lucas knew about 60% of them as Marc was writing them! Ya gotta love Sesame Street and all the reading we do.

Mr. Improv-Last night Lucas came into the family room carrying his Fisher Price popper sideways. He was mumbling something but as he got closer to me, I realized he was saying "Guitar" He was pretending the popper was a guitar and he was holding it pretty close to how you would hold a real guitar. Marc was watching the US Open yesterday when Lucas got up from his nap. when we came into the room, he immediately said "tennis". Then he picked up his frying pan and started to pretend to hit a tennis ball:) And finally, when Marc was playing on the Wii, Lucas picked up the second remote and put it on his wrist like a pro.

Internal GPS-one of the joys of living in Pittsburgh is being able to travel through tunnels. This past weekend we went to see friends south of the city so we went through not one but two tunnels. As we approached the first one, Lucas started calling out for "tunnel! tunnel!" He knows the road we take to get there before we can even see the tunnel. And when we drive by the street that our nephews live on, he immediately starts yelling for "my seany, my seany." Hopefully he will have a better internal sense of direction than Marc does:)

We are off to his 2 year well child visit tomorrow. I can't wait to get all his stats.
