What has been going on...

My plan was to post some pictures of the fam, however, Matt has the laptop at work and I am having to use our OLD computer. I can't even figure out how to get the pictures from our camera to the computer. I haven't used it in so long and I am so use to just slipping the card into the laptop, that seriously don't know how to do it. There is no place in the front to plug it in and I don't see a place on the back. I am sure there is, but that would take time and I would rather be blogging than looking for the stupid spot to plug the cord into. Okay...enough about that.

So things are going well around the Turnbough house. Mr. T. and I went on a date on Monday night while Sarah and Andrew babysat. It was wonderful. We went to see Gran Tarino. It was really good. I will warn you that there is some really bad language and quite the racist talk, but we laughed a lot more than we thought we would. Clint Eastwood did a great job. I was teasing Matt that he was going to be the grouchy old man that sat on his porch and would say, "Get off my lawn" and then he would point his finger gun at them. We both got a chuckle out of that. Next Wednesday we are celebrating our Valentines Day by going and getting a couples massage at our favorite place, Shine Spa. I would recommend it...AMAZING! We are looking forward to it. We have been really trying to have a weekly date each week. Sometimes we go somewhere or sometimes we stay home, curl up on the couch and watch a movie. We just have a rule...no phone calls, especially if they deal with work, no school work (grading papers) and no house work. It is great and I really think that it has helped us out a lot since the little man came along. We didn't do it right after he was born...and I wish we would have started it right away. So there is my recommendations for anyone that is getting ready or is planning on having children. It is easier said than done...but it is worth making it a habit from the start.

Little man John is doing fabulous. When I picked him up from the sitters today, she said, "he is just the best baby." I very much agree. He is really starting to roll everywhere. We can barely keep him on the changing table to change his diaper. He turns over to his stomach. Tonight I dressed him while he was on his belly because he refused to stay on his back. He is quite the talker and I have even caught him talking in his sleep! Last night around 4:30...Matt went into his room because he heard him babbling. He was at the top of the bed, laying the short width of the bed, with his feet hanging out the back and his arms straight out between the rails. He was laughing and just talking away! He is about to master the art of Cheerios. He can pick them up, starts to put them in his mouth...but then they usually get stuck to his palm or drop between him and the high chair. He is starting to make the sounds "da" "ma" buh" and other sounds I can't quite spell. Matt and I love it when he says "da" or "ma" because we are convinced he is talking about us. He doesn't have any idea...but we like to think he does.
