PERSONALITY - Guest Column, by Dad

Hello. Sorry to interrupt Lucas' blog.

Personality.

Funny how sometimes you hear people talking about their kid, and they kind of tend to annoy you with it, don't they? They want to remind you of how cool their kid is...and, they get a blog and they text you and they believe that EVERYTHING is funny, or cute, or really subtantial?

But THEIR kid is kinda weird and YOUR kid isn't?

You know THOSE people, don't you? Annoying, huh?

Anyway, March was a fairly substantial month. To note, Lucas used his new teeth to bite at school. He's bitten twice.

In addition, he's being tortured by us into learning to sleep at night without his pacifier.

Allow me to also say that, indeed, the crawling and climbing up are just as stressful as all of you have described.

As of late, however, is his personality. He's getting reeeeeal good at "cute." (wonder where that comes from?). And, his comedic timing is getting good too.

One thing that I recently noticed is a strange "scrunchy face" that Lucas has been making. For the past two days, it's been funny. So funny that I've tried to get it on camera. And, while we're laughing, he's figuring it all out isn't he?

While it uncomfortably strikes me as something folks might find potentially annoying, I think it's cute. But, at eight months, my real worries are that he's also been wanting to play XBOX and Dungeons and Dragons.

Strange, huh?

I'm worried to death. He may end up "well-rounded."

"Well-rounded" and "Left-wing?"

Impossible!
