High Contrast Designs and Faces
This is Lucas right now - sitting on his daddy's lap, entranced by some simple black and white patterns.
From the beginning, Lucas has been fascinated by the ceiling in our living room, which has long dark (faux wood) beams with embedded ceiling lights in between them. When we carry him around the living room he cranes his neck back so that he can stare at the ceiling. Seeing how much he enjoys these simple high contrast patterns, J found Lucas the display patterns in the picture above and I found him the mobile below.
He also makes real eye contact now. (In the second picture below, I was standing on a chair, which is why they're both looking up.)
He's also starting to make cute coo noises, but we're still working on uploading videos so you'll have to wait to see that cuteness later.
He is an eye contact champion! When I saw him Friday he couldn't stop staring into both your eyes and J's.
It was great to see all three of you!!

He looks so much older already. He's growing so quickly . . .

Adorable! Can't believe how much progress he's already made in the short time since I've seen him. :)
