Vacation

Jonny and I (Heather or Mom) are in Colorado right now visiting both sets of grandparents. We're having a great time! It's all fun and games and lots of spoiling of the grandchild. I'm getting a much needed break and Jonny is getting a lot of attention. I am almost afraid of what it's going to be like when we get home. Don't get me wrong we really miss daddy, but when we get home there's only me and I wonder if that will be enough after three and a half weeks of being spoiled?
Anyway, we love it out here and Jonny is progressing immensely. He learns a new word almost daily and I see how smart he really is. He can already say two Chinese words, dig and push (sorry I don't know how to spell them in Chinese). We only have a week and a half to go and still loving every minute of it! We'll see you soon daddy, we love you!!!! (:

What was he thinking?

So last night Jonny did the funniest thing. He was playing in the front room with his sand bucket and shovel and out of nowhere he decides to put the bucket on his head. Now just as I was thinking to myself 'don't do it', he did it. He ran full speed ahead with the bucket on his head and run straight into our bookcase. He flew backward as the bucket flew off his head and landed on the ground. Jeff had looked over just in time to see him smack into the bookcase and asked "Did he just do what I think he did?" And with both of us trying to conceal our laughter I responded yes as I scooped our sobbing little boy into my arms. Jonny of course is just fine, he only cried for a few seconds but he will never live down the time he ran with a bucket on his head. Kids really do do the darnedest things! I wonder what is going through his head at times like these? So that is the poll of the day. What was he thinking? I would love to here your comments.

No Longer a Little Boy

Jonny is growing up so fast right before my eyes. He can almost dress himself and he definatly has no problem undressing himself. He loves to imitate everything you do. I was putting lotion on on Sunday and he watched for a minute then came up and started rubbing the lotion in on my leg. It was so cute, all he wanted to do was help. Now every time he sees the lotion bottle on his dresser during diaper changes he likes to put lotion on his hand and rub them together. Jonny loves talking on the phone, it doesn't matter who you are. He runs everywhere and still climbs everything. Jonny can now go to sleep at night without Jeff or I holding or rocking him to sleep. That's a life saver. Bed time is no longer a stressful time.
Jeff and I are still doing well. I'm going home, to Colorado, for a while this month to visit and help out family. I hope I can handle Jonny by my self on the plane! He's just so full of energy. I'm sure my parents are laughing it up . I guess the saying is true: grandchildren are a parents revenge. Because I know I was a handful growing up. It doesn't matter because I wouldn't trade motherhood for anything in the world!!!
