We all have been doing very well and are very busy. By the time we get home, eat dinner, clean up, play, get ready for bed, ready books, and turn in, there is little time left for anything else.
Mom is currently working on my yellow dinosaur halloween costume, but it's slow going with all of the other things happening in our lives. Luckily for mom, Luke will definitely fit into my old gladiator costume, so she doesn't need to make him anything new. The poor guy has a life of hand me downs ahead of him, but maybe by the time him is 3 and a half... and insistent... she'll have to make him something new that he'll love.
Mom and I also went on an adventure to Kohl's last week to search for black and orange and black and light-up SHARK shoes. They didn't have them in the store, but we ordered them - because I have the coolest mom.
From Luke:
I have completely turned around my game at daycare. Long gone are the days of constant crying; instead I am happy and playful and a little lovey. I am starting to hold my own bottle! Can you believe it? And I tried cheerios the other day. They were yummy, but I'm not really ready to make them a regular part of my day. I swallow them whole and make a wierd face while doing it.
Yesterday Mom and Dad didn't feel like cooking, so we went to Red Robin for a dinner. Mom gave me a cardboard coaster to play with, and when she turned around a minute or 2 later to check on me there was a perfect baby sized bite missing from the coaster. She paniced a little bit, thinking that I had either swallowed it or was about to choke on it. She dug around in my mouth a little bit (totally not fun and such a violation of my personal space, Mom), but didn't find anything. As she was trying to decide whether there was anything terribly toxic in the coaster that would require an immediate trip to the ER to have my stomache pumped (do they even do that), she noticed me swishing something around in my mouth. There it was! Right on my tongue. It tasted kind of gross. She fished it out and that was the end of that crisis, but I was kind of mad that she wouldn't let me have the coaster again.
Anyway, here are the promised videos. Enjoy them!
