Lucas @ 18 months

• His latest thing to do at the moment is walking backwards.. Each time he does it, he makes sure we're looking at him and gives us this cheeky smile.. I've lost track of the number of times he's walked into something or fallen over from doing that! A few weeks back it was twirling or spinning around in circles..
•  In terms of his vocabulary, he can say - ma, da, ta, dog, star, mmm (moon), du (duck), mmta (water), brrrr (sound an elephant makes).. I also just taught him 'toot toot' for the sound a train makes.. haha.. way cute!
• A few weeks back, Lucas finally learnt how to nod.. OMG, it is soooooo cute!! He pretty much bops up and down and looks like he's dancing.. I must try to catch it on video before he stops doing it..
• We're not actively trying to toilet train Lucas but before his bath each night and whenever I can see that he needs to do a twosies (usually after dinner), we sit him on the toilet.. It's been half successful so far with at least 4 twosies and a few wees in the loo..
• Since the first incident at Child Care back in March, Lucas has been going great there.. He's still only going once a week and I just love discovering some of the things he's learnt from there.. He knows most of his body parts and also does the hand and body actions to a number of nursery rhymes.. It's so cute!

Boo!

Lucas @ 18 months

Did I scare you? =) I just realised that it has been over 3 months since I last updated my blog, aren't I terrible?!

So much has happened since that last post and with so many days to catch up on, I'd be even further behind if I updated from there. Nevertheless, I have not stopped taking photos each day and I have been keeping up with my Project 366 - just not on here..

So what to do? I'm thinking of just posting when I have the time, rather than once a day like I use to so many moons ago.. We'll see how that goes, hey? =)

Anyway, so a quick update on what's been going on with my life for the past 3 months in dot points, and in no particular order..

• Back in March, I had to go to Sydney for a week of training.. Brian and Lucas came along for the ride and while I was busy during the day, the two of them explored Sydney on their own.. I was kind of jealous seeing the photos each night on what they got up to, but I'm glad that they had their father and son bonding time.. Lucas' walking improved so much on that trip too - according to Brian he practically walked around the whole Opera House..
• When we returned, Brian had is graduation for his PhD, he had to sit on stage and wear a boofy hat which looked hilarious.. So now Doctor Brian is in the house! Woot!! Congratulations, honey!! 
• My little man turned 18 months just last week!! Wow, that time sure went by so quickly!! He is such a gorgeous, smiley and charming little man.. I can't imagine life without him and I've been saying for the past 4-5 months that this time has been my most favourite time with him.. It seriously just gets better and better! He's just so animated and makes us laugh every single day..
• I'm still working part time and did request to add an extra day of work per week to move me from a .5 to a .7 position.. It still hasn't happened and it's been over 2 months now.. I think it's totally crap as there is so many projects and work to do.. It kind of coincided with the next point and I'm thinking that if the circumstances were different, I would be already working more hours..
• So last but not least, I'm expecting again! Yay!! Currently just over half way and boy did the time go quickly! Signs point to it being a little girl this time round, but we're not 100% certain as this little one had it's legs closed 98% of the time we were having the scan done.. Nevertheless, we are going to prepare for one and should it be any different, we are going to be in for a huge shock as we haven't even considered any boys names..Not that we can agree on any girls names either though!!

So how is everyone else traveling along? =)
