November 20th Update

Hi! It's me JoAnna. I just wanted to record an update on what the rugrats are up to now. Starting with my baby, Carman. She is currently 7 months old. Carman loves to drink her milk and enjoys her jar food.(mainly fruits) We enjoy hearing her say "ba ba ba ba" while she blows raspberries. Luke likes to imitate her only words... ba ba ba. I can already tell that she is going to be a talker. Carman is sitting on her own and is very anxious to become mobile. She watches everything going on around her and makes it apparent that she wants to get involved in it all. The other night while she was playing on the floor with Christian she made attempts at crawling but didn't quite do it. I would have called what she was doing "scooting". She also has started a new nap schedule. She likes to take a morning nap and then an afternoon nap. I kinda enjoyed the sleeping all the time thing. I do not get many breaks now. I cannot complain though, because she still sleeps through the night (knock on wood). Carman is truly a blessing to have around. She is so happy, beautiful and sweet. I love her to pieces.
Now, on to Luke. Luke is 2 years old (turning 3 in March). He is trying master the potty. Or should I say we are trying to motivate him to master the potty by any means possible. He is thrilled to pee in the potty and seldom has accidents, but the pooing is another story. He has a little more work to do in that area but I think it will happen soon. He is sleeping with his big boy underwear on at night and doesn't wet the bed (knock on wood). I must say.... I LOVE not buying diapers for 2. Luke's vocabulary and behavior have seemed to improve since his tubes and adenoid surgery a few months ago. We definitely have to watch what we say around him because it will get repeated, no doubt. He also amazes us with his knowledge of songs, books and whatever bit of information he gets his hands on because he soaks it up like a sponge. We frequently hearing him singing songs that we have no idea how, who, when, where he discovered it. Luke is still obsessed with trains preferrably Thomas. He also knows that Christmas is coming and keeps looking out the window to see if Christmas was at our house yet. I also love my Lukey Moe to pieces.
Both the kids favor their daddy. Thank goodness. I guess the Robinson genes are pretty strong.
Enough for now, I will update some more after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Love you!!!
