Afterwards, we got him changed (well half changed as Brian forgot to put his pants on him) and then showed him his first present - a Lego Duplo Zoo set.. He loved it! He crawled right on top of the box first to check out all the animals and bang on the box, then he started getting all the pieces out - of course he had to have a taste test of everything first though!
The second big present we gave him was a wading pool/ball pit.. He loves playing with the balls and banging them together, but was bored with it quite quickly, so we sat in it with him.. haha.. I think he enjoyed that part of it!
Unfortunately, by that time, I had to leave for work so I tried to organise to meet them both for lunch.. Lucas ended up sleeping for 2 and a half hours over lunch, and I had a meeting at 2pm, so I missed them.. :( So instead, grandma came over for a visit, then when Lucas woke up, they all headed out to Toys 'r' Us to get Lucas a new activity table..
I tried to leave work a little earlier too, but got stuck in traffic.. It was crazy (for Adelaide)! They had blocked off the expressway, so I had to take the detour, along with a hundred other cars.. By the time I got home, it was only about 10 minutes short of my usual time anyway! Oh well, at least Lucas was still full of beans, so we took the ball pit outside so I could take some more happy snaps..
Oh, and I received our special promotion edition of practical parenting magazine with Lucas as the cover model yesterday too.. As soon as he saw it, he crawled towards it, smiled and then kissed himself..
Then today, I took Lucas to Baby Bounce at the library - it had been so long since I last took him there that he was just staring at everyone for ages.. Eventually he got a bit more confident and grabbed a couple of the rattle eggs to hit together.. Before I left, I also took a photo of him in front of the Christmas tree there..
