I'm A Big Kid Now!

Now that Lucas has pretty much mastered walking and is on to running (like this)...


...he has decided that he is a pretty big kid. He wants to sit at the table instead of in his high chair, sit up on the sofa, etc, etc. Since he isn't ACTUALLY big enough to do any of that without major bumps and bruises just yet, we got some Lucas-sized furniture for him to use in the meantime. First we got him his own chair for the den:


He loves to sit in it with his "Scout" and drink his milk. The first thing he did when he got home was crawl up in it with his remote and try to turn on the TV...so cute. Lately, he has decided it is also useful for pushing up against the fireplace to use as a step stool. Sigh...too clever for his (or mom's) own good!

We also got him a little table set from Ikea. (Love that place!)


Here he is playing with all of his food on the first night we set it up. Since then, we have turned it into his coloring table. He had been showing LOTS of interest in trying to "write" with my pens and pencils, so I headed over the dollar store for some crayons and a coloring book. Right now, he mostly makes dots by smashing the crayons into the paper over and over, but he loves it! I hope he likes to draw and color when he gets older because I STILL love to sit and color in a coloring book...very soothing :)

I am sure there will be more little furniture in the future, but for now that is all the redecorating we have done to make our little man feel like a BIG KID!!!
