Christmas in San Diego

It's December 24th and apparently we are celebrating something called Christmas. Yay! It sounds fun. First my parents put me in this stylin' outfit . . .




. . . and then we went to church. It's actually a nice place to take a nap!

There were people singing and everything. Lullabies just for me.

Eventually all that singing woke me up . . .

. . . and I listened quietly to the priest.

Then it was over and we got to the good stuff. The PARTY! This year it was held in San Diego at Tita Lichelle and Tito Darielle's house.

Here I am with Lola. THERE IS NO SPOON . . .

High-five Daddy! Merry Christmas!

Since I was wearing such a stylin' outfit, I had to pose for plenty of pictures.

Me and the family. I think I have the nicest outfit on :)

This picture was taken with a strange lens that makes me look bigger than Uncle Carl!

Mommy and Daddy. Presents taste good!

At midnight, mommy came to my bedside and brought me downstairs to exchange presents. Yay! Here I am handing my present to Uncle Carl . . .

. . . and Uncle Carlo.

I got plenty of presents too.

This is fun!

I like presents!

The next morning, I was ready to play with my new toys. Wake up Uncle Carlo! Let's play!

Playing with Auntie Archelle

Thank you to everyone for all the great new toys! Hope your Christmas was fun like mine :)

Later that day, Uncle Carl and Auntie Young made a Christmas dinner for the whole family. They served yummy Korean food. Too bad we didn't take many pictures! Here are a few of the family making cool snowflakes . . .

Merry Christmas everyone!!

December

Winter in California! Here is a view of some snow from our backyard . . .


I spent December playing the piano . . .


. . . and eating my feet, among other things :)

The Fight

Did you guys see that fight?





It was AWESOME.

My man Manny Pacquiao fought Oscar de la Hoya . . .

Pacquiao DOMINATED.

Seriously! No contest!

Pacquiao really gave it to him!

It was quite an exciting evening! MAN-NY! MAN-NY! MAN-NY!

Editor's Note: In case anyone is concerned about our parenting, little Lucas is not allowed to watch TV, let alone boxing. He actually slept quite soundly through the whole fight. Quite remarkable considering all our yelling and screaming in the other room!

Playdate at my house

Today I hosted my very first playdate at my house with some of my friends. Hello everyone! Welcome to my home. I hope you enjoy all of my toys!

Hello Lily! It's nice to see you again :)

Wow! She likes to chew my blocks just like me!

I like throwing parties!

My First Job

Yes, it's true. I got my first job at 6 months of age! I was hired as a baby model for the new Target Baby catalog. I got placed as the "Hispanic" baby. I don't know what Hispanic means but now sometimes my parents laugh and call me Lucas Miguel instead of Lucas Michael. In exchange for my time and smiles they gave me something called money. I got 250 pieces of money for every hour and I worked for a little over an hour. My Dad didn't think that was fair because I guess he only got a few pieces of money per hour working really hard mowing lawns and stuff when he was a kid. I haven't actually seen this money yet so I don't know how fun it is or how good it tastes. Anyway, I modeled a Winnie-The-Pooh onesie with a matching hat. Here I am right before I went to the set.



Here I am on the set as the lady checks the lighting and poses me. Mommy is looking on.

They had this fancy monitor to look at all the pictures they took. I think that guy was in charge of checking the lighting. Sometimes he said "yer runnin' hot". What does that MEAN? That lady was in charge of my wardrobe.

Look at all those people surrounding me! There's the photographer, a lady in charge of wiping my drool and making sure the hat is on right, the other lady who tries to make me smile, and the other people that apparently hold up pieces of colored cardboard for a living.

Hard at work! Please don't drop the cardboard on my head sir.

Yer runnin' hot!

That's a little close to my head sir...

I really liked this lady. Her whole job was to play with me and make me smile for the camera. Sometimes she would move the toy to a different place just so I would turn my head!

They moved me on my back for awhile . . .

There were 15 people on the set! Fifteen! Just to take pictures of little me!

I took a break and got to stretch my legs.

We took some more pictures and then it was over! I thought it was really fun :)

I will post the real pictures as soon as they become available, and I'll let you know as soon as the Target catalog comes out.
