Lucas' First Bath

Monday night Lucas' umbilical cord fell off - FINALLY. So Tuesday evening, Garen and I gave him his first real bath. Oh boy, did he hate it! I understand that a lot of babies scream through their first several baths, as the new feeling is strange and scary, but after a few baths, they love them. I hope that is the case. He screamed through the entire thing, and occasionally he would get so worked up he would forget to breath! Garen whipped out the video camera, so below is a video of the event! It needs parental consent to view, as Garen's camera skills accidentally made the video X rated towards the end. I'm sure Lucas will hate us later in life when we show this video to his girlfriend!


We experienced our first earthquake Sunday night. Clarksville is located on a fault line, so the earthquake in Illinois shook our entire house. I woke up to the bed shaking and I could feel the entire house swaying. My first thought was that it was a tornado, but it wasn't storming. I didn't figure it out til morning. Lucas and Garen didn't budge...men!

This week we will make out appointment with Vanderbilt. The appointment will be sometime next week. We will keep ya'll updated.



Lucas has started focusing on objects around the house. He has discovered his mobile above the swing and loves to stare at it, and he enjoys watching Law and Order with me in the afternoons!
