21 Months!

Can you believe Mike will be two years old in just THREE months? I can't!

Well, maybe I can. The Terrible Twos are beginning!

A little Rebelution?

I love how he changes up his dance moves, depending on the style of music playing.

Resourceful?

Mike used to have some little chairs that go to that blue table you can see in the background of the first two pictures. Then he started pushing them up to the counters to stand on and reach things he couldn't previously reach, like the box we keep his binkies in, so I put the chairs away until we need them. He has since figured out another option.

Of course, I took the basket away too, so he tried a few other objects that he discovered don't work as well.

More words for Mike

Mike's talking is taking off! Yesterday he woke up putting two words together, like "Mom juice" (Mom's juice), "Bye Dad!" or "Where Dog?"

He seems to learn a new word every day! He can now say "bite" when he wants a bite of what we're eating, and he's starting to say names when he points out people he recognizes in pictures, besides just Mom and Dad. Beth sounds like "Bapf" and Jefferson sounds like "Jusus" ha ha. Leenie is "ee-ee" and Pop, he does great with that one.

Our lives have been taken over, once again.

After two and a half months of neither of us working there for the first time in two and a half years, we're both back. Everything has changed: the location, the managers, the co-workers, the layout, there are even a few new menu items. Our new (to us) location in our new (to us) city of Tooele, Utah is actually not as disappointing as I thought it would be. I still miss all my old friends in Bountiful, and knowing where everything was in my sleep, but change is good. We're making new friends, impressing new managers (ha!), and adjusting to a smaller building. I am, however, not seeing much of my husband. We work opposite shifts so that we rarely need a babysitter, and he still has his day job. That means for a few days out of the week, I see him for maybe 15 minutes, if I'm lucky, and we rarely get a full day off together. The money will be nice, and we both know this isn't going to last forever. It was nice having every night and weekend together, but we knew this was coming, and we can tolerate it for a little while longer...again.
