I feel bad that I haven't been able to keep up with Lukey's little life on here as much as I should. He's starting to roll over already, from front to back, and he met his Aunt Emily for the first time over the weekend! She was here a few times to visit with the boys. Preston got to spend the whole day with her on Monday, and Luke was with her for the evening. He is still having a hard time at daycare. I'm supposed to go check out some gas drops at Babies R Us (Sorry Erin, I didn't get to do it tonight :-( ). I was hoping that once he could roll and sleep on his belly that things would improve, but so far he still isn't a great napper, and cries out a lot. I hope, like most things, that I'll be able to look back at this and say, "thankfully we are done with that, I can't believe he used to be so fussy at daycare." In the meantime we will keep trying things.
On a happier note, he is also starting to giggle a lot more, loves to play "airplane" with me, and is eating prunes like a champ. He's also had bananas, and we're going to branch out into some other foods in the coming weeks. He loves to eat in general and fusses if I don't get the spoon back in his mouth fast enough. He also likes to hold the spoon and shove it in his own mouth, which makes for a HUGE mess, but what else can you really expect. He's growing up so fast - even faster than Preston, who, by the way, is not a toddler anymore by my standards. He is a BIG kid, and acts like one.
Preston is something. I'm not quite sure what to make of him. He thinks he's the boss of everyone, yet he's adorable, sweet, funny, creative, thoughtful, caring, and conniving... all at once. He is a master negotiator: I'll eat TWO more bites of my dinner and then I'll go watch TV again. His tablet is a relatively recent thing/obsession. We have come to a point where we have to set a timer (although it's usually a fake timer, and he doesn't fight us often when we tell him his tablet time is up), and he could play for hours if we let him. I need to find him some more educational games! So far he loves Dr. Panda games, but they don't have much value.
Have I written about the PNX? That's his railroad.
What about slicing the "carrots" in his play kitchen. They are supposed to be wooden slice and bake cookies, but because I don't really use them in real life he thinks he's actually slicing up carrots. Makes a mom proud to know that her son knows more about veggies than cookies!
We also went to Gigi and Grandpa's house over the weekend. John and I went to see Meet Me in St. Louis at a local community theatre, a fun little night out! Seriously, as I type this it all feels like it happened weeks ago.
