Wow! I can't believe it has been 6 months since I updated this site! Things have been crazy around here so I don't doubt that it has taken this long...
Since this is a blog dedicated to our Peanut Maybean, LJ, I guess I should start with him! We have entered the pre-"Big Boy" stage. Yes, our little one has learned how to climb out of his crib. Tim and I were sitting on the couch while LJ was sleeping (or so we wished) and suddenly we heard a "Ooooweee!" Tim and I looked at each other and then since there were no cries, no large thumps we figured it was just LJ playing. A few minutes later we heard some tap, tap, tapping...after a few minutes I looked at Tim and said, "Um, honey, there are no toys in LJ's crib that will make those noises." I crept to the door, peaked in and found LJ happily drumming on his window. Nice:)
LJ's favorite words right now are "Fooball", "Ball", "More", "Puhweah" (which works for please), "Daddy" (of course), "Papa" (for grandpas), "Mama" (only when he is upset or mad), "Sit" (Thankfully it sounds less and less like a certain other 4 letter word - fabulous story about that and a burning fireplace) which leads into "Hot" (for things he can't touch)...and a number of other various words...oh, and how can I forget "Dogee" (a word for dogs, and stuffed animals that have 4 legs!:)
LJ is growing and I can't believe were going to embark on potty training by the end of the summer (or attempt it). His daycare is still doing great and we've been trying to get a little more involved in his room - attending parties when we can. We were a little nervous early in the year because there were rumors that they might close due to so many parents losing their jobs and having to pull their kids from the school. Thankfully nothing like that has happened thus far! Below is a recent pic of LJ that a friend of mine took when I brought LJ to work with me. I had a few things to finish on a very hectic day. Thankfully my friend Bill had some basketballs in his office to help keep LJ occupied:)
Tim & I are in California right now, visiting wineries and enjoying a week of vacation. We miss LJ, but are loving this time to ourselves! We'll post some pics when I get back into town.
