Lucas Camilo

Although he missed his daddy, Lucas had a great extended weekend with his Gramma Susan.  Lucas seemed excited to have a new audience (of one) who appreciated all his developments: his singing, his increasing precision of head and arm movements, and his late-night goofiness.  In fact, we had thought that he was starting to develop a slightly earlier-to-bed routine, but while his Gramma was here he pulled out all the stops to stay up late playing and giggling.  Lucas still doesn’t make any sound when he laughs, but that somehow makes his super-wide-mouth full body laugh all the more irresistible.

Lucas’s great passion these days is reading.  Or more specifically, page turning.  While most toys seem to bore him after a short while, he lights up every time he sees a book coming his way.  It doesn’t seem to matter to him whether it’s a book he’s read a thousand times or for the first time, whether it’s a cardboard page book, a cloth book, or a paper book.  His Gramma obliged him over and over and over again, holding books at just the right angle so he could grab and turn the pages.  In the video below he’s so happy turning pages that his feet are wiggling in delight.
