Sleeeepy

I've had a rough week with the wee hacker, ie: Sammy. He, despite being only 3.5 months old, has acquired the equivalent of a smoker's cough. It's impossible for him to sleep at night, and therefore impossible for me to sleep too. I've had it so good with him up to this point, and now I'm remembering what serious sleep deprivation is. I'm quite good at the 6-7 hours of sleep at night, but I'm not so good at the 4-6 hours. Plus, it's not like I get a break from Mr. C. Busypants.

Charley is just on fire with the language development. The other day he learned about 10 words in about an hour... including important ones like head, hat, leg and arm. He also learned 'money' and he walks around the house saying it. A lot. It's like a preview of when he's a teenager and bugging for some $$.
He has also almost mastered one of my favourite words, "library". He goes there often enough! I'm not surprised he chanted that one yesterday.

Charley is off at the Mothercraft Touch a Truck event with his Grampy this morning. I'm glad to have the a.m. off, but I'm a bit sad to miss the look on his face when he sees all the big, shiny vehicles.

We had a very, very nice visit with Martin and Martina this week. They were visiting from L.A. for just a couple days. I was so glad to see them after such a long absence that I burst into tears. Much too short, but I'll take what I can get. I'll post some pictures from our visit when the sweet Martina forwards me some shots. Charley was in a suuuuuper-bad mood that day, but hopefully they will forgive him and visit us again some time (soon??).

That's all for now. Must use my so-called "free time" wisely. Hmmmm... does that mean clean or sleep? Tough call.
