Happy St. Nick's Day

Not that Lucas really cares why he got the present, but he was happy he got it. It didn't technically fit in his shoe, but he didn't seem to care. Lucas loves his new Mr. Potato Head (and the nifty compartment he has to store all his parts in). Megan also enjoys her new toy, but it still can't beat her thumb.

This is a slightly older video (last week) of Megan talking ...

Peeing on the Potty

Every time Lucas gets a bath, he now thinks it's cool to pee in the water when he gets in. So, Wednesday night, Mommy had him sit on his potty longer and try to pee there. And, viola! ... he peed! Lucas was very proud of himself (probably stemming from the loud cheering and clapping Mommy and Daddy were doing). That said, he still thinks it's cool to pee in the bathtub and proceeded to do it again once he hit the water. I guess we should have made him sit on his potty longer ...

Then we get to tonight ... Lucas must have been happy enough with all the cheering, that he peed on the potty again! And this time, enough that there was no need to pee in the bathtub ... Yea! Progress! And in only two days ... not bad. :)

Megan's 4-Month Stats

No wonder Megan is already heading towards the next size clothing ... she's growing like crazy! And for those who haven't seen it yet, this is the pout Megan has perfected. She's got quite the bottom lip!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We spent the weekend working on some things around the house. Lucas helped Daddy cut up leaves one more time before putting away the lawn mower for the year while Mommy and Megan supervised.

We also decorated our new tree that Barb helped us put up. Lucas loved hanging ornaments on the tree ... specifically on two or three branches (we had to convince him to spread them out a bit more).

More from Aunt Barb's Visit

Here are some more pictures from Aunt Barb's visit. We had a great time with her and are very glad she came for the week!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving and we hope that everyone else did, too! Great Aunt Barb came to town to visit for the week ... she made a great Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks Barb! Lucas tried to convince us that he could eat everything, but we persuaded him to let us join him. We also had a bunch of fun just hanging out.

Going to Their "Happy Place"

It looks like Megan is already learning from Lucas ... she has discovered his "Happy Place".

Some random cute pictures ...

Visiting Lucas at School

Today, Daddy, Mommy and Megan visited Lucas at school to see what he does during the day. Of course, he was quite the ham and didn't behave quite the same as when Mommy and Daddy aren't there, but at least we were able to get an idea of how things go.

After breakfast and some free play, they started off with 1st group and sang the Days of the Week song.

After singing the Days of the Week and determining the weather, they did some letter matching and free play, then got their coats on and headed outside.

Later in the day, Megan told me what she thought of Lucas's class (note that we did have her in a more girly outfit to visit school, but she decided to christen one of the changing tables and needed to use the spare outfit we had with us):
