Will Work For Food

We are really anxious for Lucas to start to crawl and day by day we have seen signs that he is progressing in that direction (or so I make myself think). He is a reacher like no other, his teachers comment about it all of the time. For a long time he would just sit in one spot and reach as far as he could to get something he had his eyes on. Well, the last couple of weeks that reaching has extended even more and he turns his body up on top of his little legs. Kind of a quaz-I pre-crawl I guess. Sometimes he will balance just right in that position and grab whatever he is trying to get. Other times he will lean even more until he does a belly flop on the ground in angst. This progress has been so much fun to watch....
Well last night was cheap pizza night at our house due to lack of dinner planning and who can resist a good mom&pop pizza place large pizza for $5.99!!! :) Lucas had already eaten BUT as usual what goes in our mouths must also go in his. So, I shared my pizza with him. First he started out with the meatballs which he absolutely loved and grinned about with each bite..
Background story- I tend to eat dinner sitting on the family room floor most nights so i can interact with Lucas at the same time, he is usually playing. We do plan on getting a kitchen table soon I think?!? ;)
Then when I sat my plate down to eat he decided that the whole slice looked pretty good! So he started reaching and "talking" to try and get some. I thought, hhmmm...he wants the pizza, what a great opportunity to practice the crawling position again!
Here is a video of the antics that followed....


Then...
Well needless to say my pizza was a little hairy after all was said and done, but well worth the laughs!!!

Here are some more pictures from last night's dinner escapade. The "sharks" AKA Hunter and Bailey started circling once he got the pizza crust. He even leaned towards Bailey once and touched her nose with it . She was such a good girl and didn't even attempt to snatch it from him! I can't say the same for Hunter, he has done it in the past and is waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike again! Not last night though since Todd was right there. He did leave drool on Todd's shoulder though!

This is Lucas trying to share his crust with daddy and then giving him a big kiss! It is so amazing how the simpilest evening can be so much fun in our house! Feel free to come by and join in the antics , we would love to have you ! ;)
