Colby is on the go every minute that he is awake! It's very fun to play with him, but also very tiring sometimes! Being pregnant doesn't help that either, I suppose! LOL! He amazes us with his vocabulary... he is beginning to imitate things that we say, so we'll need to begin to be more careful with our own speech. He is saying a lot these days... I love it! It's SO cute! He is curious about everything and continually asks, "dat?" "dis?" as he wonders what everything is. He has learned a few new words recently including "cookie" and "poopy". I asked him one day if he was poopy and he looked down at his diaper and said, "poopy" right after me!!
We are really looking forward to moving some toys down into the basement this weekend, as we get carpet down there this week! We will slowly continue to finish it up with trim, baseboards, etc., but it will be great to begin using it at this new stage of development! Gerry has been working really hard and has impressed me with his carpentry skills! He has built a beam around some pipes on the roof, as well as a box surrounding the electrical box. Very nice job! Who knew he was such a carpenter!?
After a couple of weeks in transition between child care, Colby is now settling into being with Auntie Leanne and Connor! Connor and Colby were at Becky's house together and play so well together, so I'm glad things are going well already for her too! We are still having our difficulties with sleeping. For a couple of weeks now, Colby has been waking up and it has been very difficult putting him back to sleep in the very early hours of the morning. It is often around 4 or 4:30 am that he wakes up crying. We were giving him milk to put him back to sleep, but this has turned into quite a bad habit. So now we are using the "cry it out" method to put himself back to sleep. Let me say, it has not been pleasant. I'd really like to get him back on his normal schedule of sleeping until 7:00ish. That would be great, as we're all losing sleep right now!!
School is going well... I can't believe there are only 10 weeks left until summer vacation! Then it's 14 months off for me!! :) This pregnancy is perfect timing with the school year! I'm feeling pretty well, but just having a hard time keeping up with school work, housework, being a mom, wife, etc.! It's all about finding a balance, I'm learning! I sure don't know how other teachers teach full-time and have more than one child! One is hard enough for me right now!! But it's all worth it!
Take care,
Lesley

Hey Cameron's! Good to see you last night :) Colby, you are one cute little man!! You make Aunty laugh! We definately don't see each other enough. Too bad we didn't live just a little bit closer to each other. Even 20 min. would help!! I can't wait to see your new carpet downstairs. It will be great to have a huge space for Colby to run free! Have a great weekend ;)
Love Tracy
