Kaleid-o-Luke

That's what you get when you take your 11-month old toddler to the Children's Museum when he loves mirrors!

We had a fantastic time! Honestly, I think we'll get oodles and oodles of enjoyment out of this place. Reminds me a bit of the Magic House in St. Louis, although more generally focused on all ages of development. You can see, we're still at the put-everything-in-the-mouth stage.


Who is this cute baby in the mirror??

It's safe to report that we have taken our first steps, although not very many yet. Mike and I have practiced with him since, but it quickly turns into a game of flopping into Mommy and Daddy versus walking. At first, though, we can get him to walk 4 or 5 steps before he figures out that it's more fun just to dive.
I've been very remiss in my blogging as my to-do list has been vast and time consuming with preparations for the birthday celebration as well as starting my diet and exercise regiment. I'm not sure how on earth I will be ready by the time I leave to pick up Thea and Mom B. from O'Hare next Wednesday, but I'm sure we'll make it! We are super excited to have visitors to help us celebrate Luke's 1st. And, everyone tells me this is all about the parents anyhow. Celebrating that we survived the first year...ha, ha!
Luke and I are also gearing up to head to Richmond on Jan 23rd. We are so excited to catch up with our friends! And, it will give us a break from the snow and cold here.

I love the Children's Museum, but its so hard for me to go there with both the kids, especially when its totally crowded! Even when I bring the older kids with me... the staff there are SO strict and won't allow the 12 and 13-year-olds to be alone with the 5-year-old, which makes it HARD to keep everyone together at all times! It sounds like you had fun though!
