On the mends.... I think

Well Luke and I have completed our rounds of antibiotics and I had a short stint of feeling better but then here came the rain! I have been breathing through my month only for about 5 days now! Ugh, Hawaii can't comesoon enough- surely they don't have allergens there. :-) Luke is better but seems to have a cold now - I am sure he picked up when he went back to day care. Speaking of day care, he has picked up on us leaving and it makes it MUCH harder to leave him. He will happily wave by by then stick his bottom lip out and start the crying... oh it kills me! Chris told me to tough it out then he had to witness it on Sunday when we dropped him at sunday school and now he knows it's not so easy! Overall though, he still enjoys the activities and is happy when we pick him up.

On a happier note, we have been busy getting ready for our vacation and a garage sale this weekend! I can't wait to de-clutter our garage and getsome extra cash for our trip! My bag is pretty much packed and we leave 1 week from tomorrow!

In more Luke news.... he copies everything we do andis very keen on pointing his finger at Fisher and telling him to get "out". He is also developing interesting eating habits.... he has decided he does not like the texture of spaghetti noodles or elbow pasta as well as the casings of green beans. He also likes to spill his food or drink on his tray then try to eat/drink it off the tray with no hands! He is obsessed with water (in the dog bowl, in the toilet on the floor, etc.) and enjoys throwing his toys and sippy cups in the waterto see if it will float. Yes, he is getting fairly familiar with time out these days! On the more obedient note :-) he is doing great with shapes and words and you can tell he is really working to pronounce new words.

He is the highlight of the day for both of us and is teaching us so much about parenting already. I have no idea how I will make 10 days without holding him!He is developing quite the funny personality as well.... I caught him naked on his rocking horse the other day while preparing his bath...
