Mario With Daddy
The overwhelming joy of sitting next to Daddy and watching him play Super Mario Brothers...Lucas can't wait to play some Wii for himself :)

Pool Shark
So, one of Phil's big wishes when we bought a house was to have room for a pool table. And we did...we have a great upstairs game room/ playroom/ crafting room that houses our blue table. Lucas has recently decided that this is by far the coolest thing in the playroom, so we are teaching him to play. Every time he runs upstairs, he goes and points to the cues, asking "stick"?!? Then, he stands up on the ottoman and "plays pool." It's pretty adorable.
Lucas is a little annoyed with me (ok...a lot annoyed) because I have taken over his table with a crafting project. BUT...he is going to love his quiet book for the plane, so it is totally worth it :)

Each Peach Pear Plum...and some ducks.
One of my favorite books when I was a child was "Each Peach Pear Plum". I think my mom can still recite most of it from memory thanks to the millions of times she read it to me.
It has been one of my favorite "mom things" to read Lucas some of my favorite books and experience his love for them, too. And, boy, does he LOVE this book. We read it over and over, and he is just getting big old enough to start looking for all the hidden things in the pictures.
His current favorite thing to do, however, is to flip through ALL the pages until he comes to this one with the duck:
Yes...that LITTLE duck up there in the corner! (Sorry, I don't know how to rotate the picture properly. It's the right way in my file). He flips through every page until he finds this one, proundly points to that little bird, and yells DUCK! Then we start the book over again.
You see, Lucas has a current OBSESSION with ducks. He loves to go down to our pond and visit them every day. He points them out in EVERY book (even the ones where his "ducks" are some other kind of bird...or something that vaguely resembles a bird...), and he carries one around the house. I'm not sure what it is about those little birds, but they sure make my little guy happy. QUACK!

| With his ducky bowling ball pin last week. |

| Was this bathtime visit at 3 months of age the beginning of the obsession?!? |
 |
| Or perhaps this gift from Aunt Ann? (That he still sleeps with and carries around the house!) |

| Mmmmmm....DUCK! |

Words Lucas Knows
Lucas has really started talking a lot more lately, and I wanted to be sure to document his new words as they come along. So...at just shy of 15 months, the words he uses regularly are:
Mama
Dada
Gulk (Milk)
Uh Oh
Stuck
Duck
Beh (Bear...his lovey)
Dat (That...whatever he is pointing to)
WoofWoof or Pup (for dogs)
Bah (Ball)
Nack (Snack)
Dunk (when playing basketball)
Duke (any time he sees basketball on tv...hehe)
Burp
Boo (Book)
Stick (he likes playing with the pool sticks)
He also has a very specific word for crayons/coloring that I can't figure out how to write :)
Although he doesn't say them, he also knows and can point to most of his major body parts, which is a fun game. I am amazed every day at how much he understands of what I say to him. There's a lot of complex understanding going on in that little brain of his!
Such a big boy! He'll be using sentences before I know it!

STUCK!
One of the words Lucas knows and uses very well is "stuck." In combination with "Uh-Oh," this is how he lets us know when he can't get something he needs, when he has dropped something, when he can't get up and is "stuck" on the floor, or any number of other things. The other day while I was cooking dinner, he wandered into the pantry, and I heard "Mama...Gulk...Stuck...Uh Oh!" This was the longest string of words I have ever heard him put together...turns out he had spotted the empty jug of milk in the recycle bin. He was apparently worried that it was not in the fridge :)
I was cleaning his room a couple of weeks ago and started hearing "Stuck!" "Stuck!" over and over again. When I came into the den, here is what I found:
I guess that's a pretty useful phrase to know when you are one :)
