On days when I'm off of work I stay home with Luke and we both get to sleep in. He gets his marathon sleepiness from his mama.
His routine is simple: wake up, try to use the potty, eat breakfast. While he feeds himself I usually unload the dishwasher. Then it's time for my shower so I put him in his crib with books to keep him occupied. The only problem is he sounds so cute babbling and "reading" to himself it's tempting to sit outside his room and listen instead of taking my shower. You won't mind my dirty hair, right?

So, yet again, it's been FOREVER since I updated you. I'll just jump right in.
This stage is AMAZING. He's really developing his personality and sense of humor. He's also starting to push boundaries but it's nothing we can't handle. Both Steven and I feel it's important to raise well-behaved, respectful kids so we've been working on discipline, in one way or another, since day 1. He's also really smart and observant - he doesn't miss anything.
Right now he:
- runs, climbs, jumps and loves being outside
- can read/recognize numbers and will "count" by saying the numbers in order
- loves to "read" books and call out whatever number, picture or shape he sees
- will make animal sounds when you ask him
- is learning basic sports skills like throwing and kicking
- is making progress with potty training. He is still wearing diapers, but he is pretty good about making them wet but not dirty.
- has SO MANY teeth! He has 16, which is almost a whole mouthful, so we let him eat pretty much anything
- is still sleeping well through the night (7:30 pm - 8:30 am, give or take) plus he takes a 1-3 hour nap after lunch
- just had his first buzz cut (just like Daddy)
And now, PICTURES!

So, I guess I'll see you in another 2 months... just kidding. At least I hope I'm kidding. I really need to be better about this whole blogging thing.
