Santa on the move

Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks since our last entry. Lucas is 8 months old! We can't believe it either. He's growing and changing so much! He's been eating baby food for quite a while now but this last week we added finger foods! We got him these banana puffs and baby rice cake things and he absolutely loves them. He's moved on to third foods so the next step is gerber graduates already!!
Last night we took Lucas to see the lighted Holiday train. He was intrigued by it. He couldn't stop staring at all the lights, but I think it was a little loud for him. We weren't able to stay very long either, it was pretty cold out. After the lighted train we took Lucas to meet Santa for the first time. He did pretty good. Sat on Santas lap for about 30 seconds before he started to get scared and a little fussy. The look on his face was priceless. He kept looking at Santa like "wow, what the heck are you!" It was very cute!
Tomorrow night he's going to spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa Krause. Riley and I are going to have a winter bonfire for our birthdays. I'm looking forward to a full night of uninterupted sleep but I have a feeling i'll wake up several times worrying about Lucas. Even though I obviously trust his grandparents completely, this will be his first overnight away from home. I haven't been away from him for more than a few hours since he was born!
Well, we'll post again after his surgery! Wish the little guy luck! :)
