While snuggling the baby today during book time, I put the book down just in time to have the one cat sprint up the bed and over my face. I now have two cuts on my right eyelid and two huge scratches on my arm. I had it checked and my eyesight will not be affected.
The only thing I'm super thankful for is that she did now scratch up Luke. I can deal with the pain and blood, but I'd never forgive myself if I wasn't able to protect him.

Babies
Hubby stayed home yesterday because he was feeling ill. There's a tummy bug going around the area, so I didn't argue.
The problem with being sick is that Luke has decided he no longer likes sleeping in his crib. He'll lie there fine if we place him in while asleep, but he'll freak out and start crying when he wakes up. The same reaction does not apply when he's snuggling with me or hubby.
When I go to work, hubby and baby are left to their own devices. Luke wants to sleep in the bed, hubby wants Luke to sleep in the crib, so no one gets sleep in the end. This doesn't allow for hubby to get rest to get better.
I got called into work last night and didn't get home until 3:30am. Both of the boys were still up with hubby lamenting the situation. I don't blame him. I ended up staying up til 4:30am getting the kiddo to go to sleep and to stay asleep in the crib. He woke up at 8am.
Needless to say, I'm pretty tired. I forsee an early bedtime for all of us in the near future.

Wrapping corners
It wasn't long ago that Luke could barely pull himself up to standing in his playpen. Now he does it regularly and quickly with the added bonus of being able to wrap around corners with no issue.
Here's the problem- the kid is smart. Normally this is something to celebrate (and even in this case there should be a little celebration), but this time it's getting him into trouble. Luke has figured out that if he piles his toys in a particular fashion and climbs on top of them, he can see higher over the playpen walls. He's also figured that he can use the toys as a ladder to try and vault over the wall to get to me. We also had to rope tie the walls together because the little bugger learned how to open one of the sides once.
Needless to say his crib has been lowered further and stuffed animals have been removed to make it so he can't vault over the side. He's getting big fast and I have no idea how long that will last. He may "graduate" to a toddler bed faster than other kiddos.

Day Trip
My son left about 45 minutes ago with his Poppy, Grandma Jen, and Uncle Chad to go visit Jen's mother and father. It will be several hours before he gets back and so I'm left to my own devices.
So what am I doing? Laundry, dishes, cleaning, crafting, and such. I'd really like to take a nap, but I have no idea if I'll be able to do that and get everything else done. It's weird not having Luke around. I miss my little goofy boy. I know it's only a few hours, but I really miss him.

Crawling!
Luke actually crawled last night!! He has army crawled before, but he picked up his tushie and moved his arms and knees back and forth across the floor.
Video to come, but my computer is telling me I need to format the disk before I can use it. This would erase all the data, thus defeating the purpose of me uploading the movie.

Last Night
I should have gone to bed early. I should have. I didn't.
As I probably have mentioned before, hubby and I play Star Wars: The Old Republic. After working for 6 days in a row then visiting my family then working for 2 more days, I haven't had much time to play video games. I can't even remember the last time I logged into World of Warcraft, but that's also due to Luke stealing my authenticator.
Hubby and I hit the hay around 11:30 and his snoring kept me up til midnight. Around 1am, Luke started crying really hard. Hubby brought him to the bed, where I snuggled him back to sleep. I then had baby snores and hubby snores to contend with as I tried to sleep. I woke at 2am to find hubby had taken ALL of the blankets, my pajama pants had slid up to my knees (exposing my feet and calves), and my back was spasming. I took a smaller blanket for Luke back from hubby and tried to sleep the rest of the night.
I woke up every 45 minutes or so until hubby's alarm went off at 6am. I was able to sleep solid after he left at 6:30am, but then Luke decided it was time to get up at 8am.
I'm sitting here trying so hard to stay awake with a heat pack on my back while Luke watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I think I may scoop up the baby for a good snuggle.

Teething Pains
Luke has his first two teeth poking up from his bottom gums and has just been so hurty for the past week or so. He's got two more teeth coming in on the top gums (he'll look like a rabbit) and it's making him miserable. Thank goodness for Orajel or he'd get no relief.
