Settling In

So now that Mike has started working, it's time to adjust to him being gone...and boy it's tough! He works 12-hr shifts. When he's working days, he gets home about 7:30, and is so tired he has to try not to fall asleep until his bedtime, which is now 9:30! He can barely make it! So basically, I am on my own! This is usually what Mike is doing when he's at home :-)

With Mike not eating dinner at home when he's working, I'm trying out more new recipes. This is a pad thai recipe I tried...thank you Pinterest and Karlie!

I finally broke down and bought a seat for Luke to eat in. I think he enjoys the box more! Oh, and I tried introducing chicken (in pureed form of course) to Luke, and he HATED IT! In fact, he gagged himself a little while after I forced a spoonful down his mouth until he threw it up!

Luke's happiest place in the WORLD is outside! So, when there is shade, we always end up on a blanket in the backyard. He could probably lay out there for hours and be totally content! And that is a miracle, because content is not usually a word I would use to describe my wonderful son!

We've had some pretty impressive (at least to me, I'm sure they won't seem so impressive after I make it through next tornado season) thunderstorms! Sadly, they've been at 6 am, so instead of enjoying them, I'm sitting in bed praying that they don't wake up Luke! One did, and boy I was angry! :-) Oh well!!
