Baby's First Christmas...

...in South Salem with Gramma and Grandpa.  (December 2010 - 6 mths.)  Lucas wore a little tuxedo and was the hit of the party - as he had been for Joana and Patricio's wedding when he made his debut in this adorable outfit.  Lucas started eating solids with baby cereal mixed with formula, mashed bananas and apple sauce.  He also started sleeping through the night as Andres and I did five nights of "cry it out" after our sleepless nights during Thanksgiving.  The first night Lucas cried for close to an hour and a half and the second night was similar.  It was torture, but a necessary evil. By the third night, Lucas fell asleep after half an hour of crying and  the fourth and fifth night, he only cried for ten minutes.  During our stay in New York, we had to put Vaseline on Lukey's cheeks since they turned rosy red like Santa's cheeks from the dry air.  We drove to Jurzee again so that Lukey could see his cousin again and his Gramma Marta.  Andres returned to Florida after Christmas and Lucas and I extended our stay through New Years to be able to celebrate the arrival of 2011 with Gramma.  Lucas sat up for the first time under the supervision of Gramma, Auntie Gabriela and cousin Sofia and soon mastered it by the beginning of the new year.
