The Swansons: Grandma & Showers (but no baths!)

Mary Jo came and stayed with Luke for a couple days last week. They both had a blast and wore each other out! Mary Jo took Luke on lots of walks to the park…now whenever he sees his stroller in the garage he throws a fit if we don’t take him for a walk. Thanks for coming and taking care of Luke, Mary Jo!
As Jessica and Adam’s wedding gets closer there are more and more showers to attend! She’s had two…and there are three more to go. I think they’ll have to register for more or they won’t have enough on their registries for wedding gifts!
We think Luke is going through a “fear” phase….he’s suddenly terrified of baths, which he used to love. And we can’t get him to sleep in his crib, so he’s been sleeping on blankets on his bedroom floor (we figure that’s better than sleeping in our bed). We are hoping these are both phases that will pass over soon. He’s saying more and more words and mimicking us more and more (like slapping his head after I slap mine to kill a mosquito and saying “ho ho ho” in a deep voice like Adam).
We are looking forward to celebrating Amanda’s college graduation and her birthday this weekend at the lake!

One of Luke and Alfred's favorite games....Luke sprays Alfred (and himself) w/ the hose and Alfred likes "chasing" the water
