Luke is crawling up a storm, there is no stopping him now, and I have to remember to always keep my eyes on him! When he sees something he wants, he goes for it! And he has gotten good at pulling himself up on his knees and trying to reach for even more things! I lowered the mattress in the crib yesterday so now it is all the way at the bottom level. The mattress went from the second notch, skipped the third notch, and now it is at the fourth notch... he is just growing so fast and changing that I thought I would save myself 45 minutes (yes, that is really how long it took me to lower the dang thing!) and just put it on the lowest setting now! Luke's latest new thing if tossing his pacifier out of the crib. It doesn't matter if we have one or two in there, he tosses them both, and then he is upset! I guess he will learn that it he really wants them, he won't toss them. Luke will be 8 months old on the 24th! How time flies! He quit wanting to nurse a few weeks ago and has basically weened himself. He went form nursing 5 times to 4...3...really fast and for the last week he was only nursing at breakfast, and now it looks like he won't be nursing at all. So now it looks like we will have to start supplementing with formula. Not something we really wanted to do, but hopefully we will only have to supplement. Oh well, you do what you have to do, learn from it, move on and do better the next time. (no that is not an announcement!)
Michael had his second softball game last Monday. They did better in this game, scoring 5 runs, but because of the mercy rule, the game was still called early since the other team had much more runs scored. If you want more detail on the mercy rule or anything else, maybe Michael will amaze us with a post!
Last Saturday we met up with a coworker (and his wife) that Michael worked with in CA. Michael's sister was kind enough to babysit for us (thank you Angela!) in the evening. We had them meet us before we went out so they could meet Luke, and we visited for a while. Then we went to The Keg restaurant for some yummy steaks! I can't remember the last time I had such yummy restaurant steaks, probably before Luke was born! We had been to The Keg once before in WA, and liked it there, so we tried the one here. We had forgotten that it was on the pricey side...but it was worth it. Come to think of it, I think this may have been the first time that Michael had been out together in the evening alone since before Luke was born! Since it was a little bit more than we usually would spend when we do (use to) go out we decided to celebrate our anniversary a month or so early! It worked out fine doing that because now it looks like Michael will be out of town for training for two week in July, so he will miss our anniversary anyhow. But on the plus side, he will now get his travel expenses paid, and he will get perdiem! Oh, it looks like he will be in Atlanta, he's less excited about that!
Well, or fridge is now finally fixed. Since we have a Samsung, we had to find an authorized people to come and fix it, but it is now fixed, and out of all the things that have gone wrong and needed fixing around here, it was the cheapest...so that was good!
It's getting hot here now. Last summer wasn't as hot, so I think it lured us into a false sense of security and left us thinking maybe summers in Texas won't be that bad. HA. I was even preggo at the time...I want last summer back...without being preggo of course, we enjoy having Luke here with us! We try and walk in the morning, if we wait to late (like 10am) it is to hot for us to go, so we just stay inside the rest of the day! I am thankful that most days there is a breeze out, making it feel a little cooler than it actually is!
I think that this is a lengthy enough post, I have some pictures and video clips that I wil try and post in a few days!

Fun update, Jeannie! It sounds like Luke has a mind of his own about his food and is going to be stubborn about some things. Eight months seems young to wean himself, but perhaps he's "mature" for his age.
He'll probably learn how to get out of his crib in a few months, but lowering the mattress all the way should delay that development at least a few weeks!
I'm glad you got to go out for a great meal, and that Aunt A. was able to babysit.
It was good to hear that your fridge is fixed. Let's hope that ends your string of household breakdowns, right?
Yes it's definitely hot here! We went to The Keg last week? something like that with Jimmy's partner (company paid for it, lol). They DO have yummy steak!
I couldn't even walk to my mail box without cursing the dang heat out there!
