Well baby Luke’s milestones just keep piling up. Within about a week’s time he began crawling, pushing himself up into a sitting position, pulling himself up into the standing position, crawling up stairs, and eating solid foods.
Oh and just for the record…It is true what they (Albert & Jenny) say about parents taking progressively less pictures as they have more children. Poor baby Luke…we need to take some more pictures of you to to catch you up with your siblings! Until then…here is A picture of 1 of your 5 milestones. His motivation to stand up was to get that wipie container on top of that basket.
Okay, okay I did at least get a little bit of video…we have surprisingly kept up well with the video camera…mostly because our kids LOVE watching themselves.
Since this video he can now quickly and easily climb up this stair PLUS now he can climb up multiple stairs easily and while laughing. I’ll have to get a video of that soon.
The video below is when we caught him standing in his bed when he was supposed to be sleeping…we have since lowered his crib ALL the way to the bottom!!!
It means that until he can tell the difference from a hair clip and a cheerio I have to start keeping the floors of my house a lot cleaner. Oh joy. AND most importantly we have to put up the multiple baby gates (insert annoyed look from Luke). Which may actually be at a good time for all of my children because just this week Alyssa fell down the stairs as she was trying to carry 4 baby dolls and a dangling blanket AND Evan can now turn on the water in the upstairs bathroom. Yesterday after I finished cleaning up lunch I walked upstairs to find the water in the bathroom sink on full blast and a large trail of water from the bathroom to the playroom. Where apparently Evan was serving “coffee” to his dolls.
Alyssa and Evan have really been into pretend play lately. They often have tea and coffee parties with their dolls and role-play our family…which is quite hilarious.
I overheard this role-play today:
Alyssa: Evan you’re the daddy and I’m not going to take a nap.
Evan: Okay (which he said in a very serious tone) Take a nap Alyssa.
Alyssa: I don’t want to take a nap I want to play (insert fake crying here)
To say the least ALL of our kids are growing up faster than we expected and constantly changing. Luke and I recently decided the kids needed their own rooms. And it has been a wonderful change especially for Evan. We didn’t realize it before, but having them share a room was greatly impacting Evan’s demeanor….and not in a good way. He is a super light sleeper so when Alyssa would wake up he would wake up…weather he was ready to be awake or not…which made him in a constant state of tiredness. And in turn this constantly tired 2 year old was greatly impacting his parents…and not in a good way. Now that he has his own room and his own earlier bedtime life is much happier here in the Foust house. Naps are AMAZINGLY easier and most of the time I can easily get all 3 of them down for naps at the same time. (Insert Hallelujah chorus here…if you don’t know it ask Heather...she’ll sing it or sign it for you. hehe)

Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
