Sinuses

Hubby and I have terrible sinuses. We both have perpetual sinus infections, snore terribly, and are often clogged up on clear days. I had hoped that Luke would avoid such issues until I found a healthy amount of green boogies in his nose.

Ugh.

I have a doctor's appointment for myself next week and I intend to bring him with me. Maybe our awesome doc can nip this thing in the bud before it gets out of hand.

More Crayons

Last night, I bought Luke his first official box of crayons. We haven't played with them yet, but I'm curious as to see how he reacts. His first instinct with the other crayons was to put them in his mouth, which is most baby's first instinct, but I want to see if he'll color a picture. We'll see.

Leap Day

I won't be writing in depth today on two accounts: 1) It's my birthday and 2) Luke won't stop crying because I'm trying to eat breakfast without him (he's already eaten).

Happy Birthday to me! Life's so glamorous!

Daddy Centric

Ever since Luke said "Da Da" for the first time (which he has not said since), his attention has been focused on Daddy. Hubby will be sitting at his computer desk and Luke will yell or talk to him to get his attention. He constantly wants Daddy to hold him, snuggle him, etc.

When he was Mommy focused, if Daddy tried to snuggle him, Luke would push Daddy away. Luke doesn't do that with me except on occasion when Dad's home, so I still get my snuggly love bug during the day. If he could stay this way, for a bit, I'd be ever so thankful. Hubby needs to feel appreciated.

Crayons

Luke has discovered crayons. He's discovered that they are fun to shake, taste funny, and can make pictures look even more cool. I got him an orange and a red giant crayon and the red is already destroyed. It's chewed to death, broken, and the orange is on its way.

I think I'm going to buy him a box of crayons and see how well he does.

Tummy Sick

Last night, I got a phone call from hubby while I was at work. Little guy was running a fever and feeling awful. Lucky for me I work for a great company that let me out early so I could rush home to take care of him. While I was on my way, he started throwing up.

He continued to throw up this morning, but his fever broke. Still, he got some pedialite and infant tylenol to make him feel a little better. The sickies didn't seem to last long, but I now have a ton of laundry that needs doing.

Luke is also a sharing type. I started throwing up this morning. It starts!

Elmo

We've been watching a lot of Sesame Street lately (which is AWESOME) and Luke seems to absolutely LOVE Elmo. He loves Elmo almost as much as he loves Cliff Lee.

Right now we're watching a documentary on the fella who created Elmo and it's amazing to me that a young man from Baltimore set his mind to being a puppeteer and achieved great things. The characters he created as he grew up and as an adult were so vibrant and lovable! It takes a great person to bring his love to children just because he could.

This guy, Kevin, is brilliant. Just brilliant.
