How time speeds by... I had a taste of being a stay at home mom again last week, and it was soooo nice! I could spend so much more time just playing with Luke, keeping me young! I did feel guilty about not being there to help out my coworkers, but I really did love having a more open schedule and being able to be with Luke all the time. I also found that it gave me a lot more time with Greg too, something I didn't really think about before hand, but it makes sense.
This week I am working hard to make up for last week, and then Thursday my sister gets here and on Saturday I am going to Colorado with my Mom's side of the family! Greg has to stay home, unfortunately, because he went fishing earlier. I can hardly wait to get to spend so much quality time with my sister. I hope sleeping in a room with Luke and I doesn't bother her sleep habits too much! I wish Greg could come too, he has never spent much time in the mountains and I know he would really enjoy this, plus I think Luke would really love to have him there with us too. When we got to Indiana and he saw Greg he stuck to him like glue for a couple of days, which was really neat to see, especially for Greg who often feels like Luke loves me best and Grandpa next.
Luke has continued to learn lots of signs lately. I need to get out our baby signs book and learn some more myself so I can teach him new ones. Several of his signs look similar to each other, kind of like how baby words can be difficult to understand, you gotta know the context! Please and bath look the same, thank you and bye-bye are identical, nursing, bird and lights all look the same too, and more and shoes look alike as well. He has others, I won't try to list them all now.
He also has some new teeth. He finally got the fourth bottom front tooth in last week and this morning he was grinding his teeth and I stuck my finger in his mouth to make sure he wasn't chewing on something he shouldn't have and felt a molar on his top right for the first time ever! I hate the sound of teeth grinding, but I was pretty excited about the new tooth!
Our church had a swimming party at the local pool and Luke went with his grandpa and then I met them there half way through. It always amazes me home well he does and how much he enjoys it. I always wish I could capture his face while we swim, maybe I should get a disposable underwater camera just for on this trip... Anyway, he likes to float on his tummy and kick with his head held high and a big grin on his face! It is a blast. He also still really enjoys kissing the other younger babies he sees and there were several both at church and at the pool! I think little Janessa will be his sweetheart!
Luke has started to ask us to watch his veggie tales videos lately! He brings them to us and holds them with one hand and points to it with his other as if just bringing it to us wouldn't be enough to get his point across! He loves to dance to the songs and wants to stand VERY close to the tv, but I always make him stand further back. He got upset when I wouldn't let him stand close this morning, I had to bring him back away from the screen several times, but each time I would let him make his choice again and ask him firmly to stand back from the tv. After three times of picking him up and moving him away from the tv he curled up on the ground and cried for a little while, and then slowly picked his head up to watch and then decided to get into a better position... I thought he was going to go close to the tv again but instead he just repositioned himself so that he was sitting up and started watching the video. He got up to dance and stuff several times after that but each time when I would remind him to stay back from the tv he listened and didn't go to close again! I was so proud of him for listening to me I almost cried!
Well, this isn't much of a post, but I thought I should get something on here. Hopefully I'll have pictures next time from Colorado!
