Lucas Lu Goose Sweeney

Today he turned 18 Months. Time is flying by with #2. Bye Bye Baby hello my Sweet little Sweeney boy. With Beau I was so good about doing the Beau updates but, Lucas has me unable to get anything done! He is on the move and faster than you could even imagine. 

Those toes. Those perfectly weird Sweeney Toes:)

His Blue eyes he got from his Mama & Papa and his Curls Blonde Beautiful Curls that are just too perfect for words. He is not as verbal as Big brother and does not need to be he's got his Older brother to translate everything but, the few words that he does know are as sweet as Pie!

 He is so darn cute and so unbelievably perfect and Perfect for us all of us! 

Here are his sweet little words... Mama, Papa, Beau, Zauza (Zoey), More, Milk, No!( just learned this one!)Ball, Bubbles, Bye ( Complete with the cutest little wave and blows kisses with a noise to go with it!) Nana, Nu-Nu ( nurse. yep still doing that and not giving it up anytime soon!) Bup (up) dow (down) Go, Uh-oh (says this word a lot) All done, Na-na ( which also means Thank you!) We are working on I love you too! Gosh, I love him so. He knows everything and understands everything and Still climbs everything!!! 

His beautiful golden locks were getting a little out of control so Mama gave him his first little trim! That was a hard one. He had his first ever Lollipop to go with it and just last week got his first ever BIG BOY BED! 

Although he is only sleeping in it for Nap time!
How adorable is he trying to look relaxed?

 This boy loves his Dog.

 He really is so happy with his new Bed we just need to
get him to sleep in it at night. Soon enough. Mama still
loves the cuddles:)

the most adorable bond!

 No seriously the most...

 We celebrated my Brothers Birthday 38 always such a 

very hard day after Christmas. Miss him more and more as time passes.

 We found out 2 days after Christmas that our sweet Zoey bear will not make it to 

her 15TH Birthday in March. Such a hard thing to find out right after Christmas. 

Truly in my heart I have felt that this was her last Christmas with us but, I never

imagined finding out so soon after. She has been one of the most Beautiful souls I 

have ever come across.

I took her on a special trip just the two of us last week.

a trip that we usually take every year for her Birthday. This was

the exact spot that we first met almost 13 years ago. 

This sunset was so beautiful I had to drive to the top

of French Park to get a better view. We already know 

how this new year will start for us lets just hope we can 

breathe big deep breaths through it all.
