Just another week...


Not much new to report. We have been giving Luke a lot more tummy time lately and as a result he is starting to get up on this hands and knees for longer periods of time. I have a hunch this little guy is going to crawl and walk a lot sooner than his brother did. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. He seems to be doing pretty well with his ear tubes. He's starting to finally take to baby food too. He of course prefers all the fruits, but we are still trying to force the veggies on him!

The day Kurt and I have been dreading for the last 32 months finally arrived. We started to wean Blake from his "nukie" this weekend. Nap time didn't go over so well. We eventually gave up on the nap, but did not give into his screams for "nukie." It was really sad. There were moments when it felt like you were watching someone go through withdrawl from some nasty drug.

We also had both boys' Spring parent-teacher conferences this week. As expected, both received very high marks. Insert smile. Blake's teacher said he is smart and progressing as he should. She also said he spends most of his time with Chloe when she is there in the morning. After she leaves, then he will play with his other friends. There could be much worse problems! It's hard to believe in 6 more months he will move up to preschool.

Here are some things I have heard in the last week:
1. "Mmmma Ma" - Yay!!! Luke said Mama first! Blake actually said Dog first shortly followed by Dada so it was definitely my turn.

2. "You're Not Listening to Me" - This came from my 2 1/2 year old who decided I wasn't listening very well.

3. "Um Donuts" - When asking Blake if needed anything from the grocery store.

4. "Clean up your mess!" - Another order barked from the "boss."

Ahh, just another week!
