Harrison Update

All the news from Lake Wobagon....ahhh...I miss NPR...Prairie Home Companion, not so much, but NPR, yes. Anywho! Anne, Vaughan's mum is in Europe with his Auntie Claire. She has been sending emails and rang this morning. She is have a great time! She said today she should have done something like this a lot soon. So good to hear she is having such a great time. She has been gone for two weeks now and has another three to go.

Julia, Vaughan's sister is due to give birth to her third child in about three weeks. Exciting stuff!

The sun is out so Vaughan is in the yard digging holes. The holes are to for the posts that will support the retaining wall for a vege garden. I am looking forward to growing our own veges and herbs. Vaughan still rides in to work about three times a week. The other days he takes Lucy to daycare and I go in early. He is running as well.

Lucy is well and is sleeping through the night...again. She was sick and teething about three weeks ago and we had a rough go of it. She now sleeps about 11.5 hours at night and takes one two hour nap mid-day. She generally goes to bed around 6:30 or 7:oopm and wakes up at about 5:30am regardless of when she goes to sleep. It is a bit early but I don't care, I get 7 hours of sleep or more in a row!

Lucy is also chatting away these days. She imitates intonations in voice and sings little songs to herself. She says momma, dadda, da for bird (duck), uff for dog, ub pe (up please), bye, hi, no....but she understands WAY more than she says. It is amazing. Momma was a little slow on the uptake. I can ask Lucy to get her bottle, she gets it. To put away her shoes, she does. I say "should we go outside for a walk?" She gathers my shoes and hers. She knows her feet, nose, head, hands, belly button. She confuses ears and eyes and she is not so sure about mouth. She of course knows cats and dogs and birds. She will stand by her highchair if she is hungry and get her formula and bottles out of the cupboard if wants a drink. She's clever. Far more clever than me.

And me, I'm good. I'm going to Australia in July for work. That will be fun. : )
