2 months

I took Lucas to the doctor today and he was 50% in height, weight, and head circumference. The nurse told me that she has never had that happen before. He weighed 12 lbs., was 22 3/4 inches long, and his head was 40.1 cm. He is getting so big and everyday he is more and more alert.


Here is a video of him talking.

Sunshine





I don't know if it was just me but it seemed like today was a lot warmer than the past few days. The sun was out and it felt so nice for the kids to be able to play outside and not have to wear a coat and a hat the whole time.

I talked Danielle into taking the kids to HealthSport to swim. They had so much fun going back and forth from the hot tub to the pool. Then we went back to her house and she made dinner while the kids played outside.

Lucas is doing really well. He is 9 weeks old now. I wish that I was better at taking more pictures of him. It seems like I took a lot more of Connor and I am kind of feeling bad. I will definitley try to be a little better at that.

He is a very mello baby and I love that he is smiling more and and starting to find his voice. He is sleeping from 8pm to 7am and I am finally feeling like I am caught up on my sleep. I will post more pictures of him later this week.

Dreamy Banana Cream Pie



I have always been a fan of Banana Cream Pie but I always forget about it. I made this yesterday. I sort of made it up, and it turned out pretty good.

Crust:
1 Package Cinnamon Graham Crackers
1/2 cup butter
3 teaspoons sugar

Filling:
2 bananas
1/2 cup caramel topping
1 4 0z package vanilla pudding (prepared)
1 Package of Cool Whip
1/4 Cup Pecans (Toasted w/brown sugar and butter)

Combined all ingredients for the crust and line bottom of a pie pan.
Slice Bananas and place on top of crust.
Drizzle 1/4 cup of caramel topping over bananas.
Pour vanilla pudding on top of caramel.
Slice the second banana and place a layer on top of pudding.
Spread Cool Whip on top of bananas.
Drizzle the last 1/4 caramel topping over the Cool Whip.
Last but not least sprinkle toasted pecans on the top of the pie.
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours.
Enjoy
