Lucas eating big boy style.

Lucas has really thrived off of milk alone for the 1st 6 months of life.  We didn't introduce him to formula until he went to California.  Now that he doesn't mind that we are working on Rice Cereal.  We are hoping he grows to like this too before we move on to more tasteful cuisine.  

 Luke a happy camper before the meal.

 "Dad, what is this?"
"You better put a bib on me.  This could get messy."

 "No thanks.  I don't need this.  Where's the milk?"

"Maybe you didn't hear me!?  I don't like this."

Walking in San Diego.

Lucas and I went on a walk or two while we were in San Diego.  We happened to be in San Diego the ONLY week there wasn't sun in Sunny California.  We only saw the sun once while we were there.  But we made the best of it.  I took my camera with us on one of our quiet walks.

Here are just a few shots:

 I love the stucco homes you find in Cali.

 Berries up close.  Love the color.

 You don't find mailboxes like this in Texas very often.
Very old school.  Love them.

 Turquoise Mailbox.

 Very large Palm Tree on the property we stayed at.
You can really see the morning fog in this picture.

 Cobwebs on an old light.

 Succulent.

 The vegetation in Cali is so unique.

Morning Dew.

Baby Lucas: 6 months old.

Lucas turned 6 months while we were in San Diego.
Here is a shot of the "birthday" boy.

We went to the doctor for his 6 month check up when we got back.
Here are his "stats":

18.1 lbs. (60th percentile)

28 inches (90th percentile)

Trip to San Diego.

We took our first trip with Lucas to San Diego to show him off to the family.  He was such a trooper!  Here are a few shots of our trip.  Even though Lucas won't remember this trip, I know the rest of us will cherish it always.

Clemmer Family Reunion.

We had a great time with the Clemmer Clan at the Family Reunion.  Thanks to everyone for coming to Houston to make it easier on April + me now that we have the little guys.   Here are some pics from the weekend:
