20 weeks!!!!!

This week can be summarized by one word: impressive!! KR and I have been saying it daily!!
*he has really been starting to grab things in his peripheral vision. Like the sides to the carseat handle, the poles on his play mat, the bathtub (he looks like he's hot tubbing haha)
*he's started his lip sucking again.
*he really seems to look for things to grab, rather than just grabbing what he sees.
*sitting up is getting soo good!!! We had him sitting up for pictures and he held it for really long periods! It's official, he can sit up!!
* last week and this week, he started really lifting his head up while laying on his back, working his abs like crazy!! He does not rest!!! He does bicycles hahah. Abs of steel!
*if he's laying on his back, sees his pacifier to the side of him, he can roll to his side, use his arms to scoot it, and gets it under his face while almost on his tummy, puts his mouth over it and rolls back with it in his mouth!!! Impressive!!
*while sitting up, KR will pass the ball to him and dean will swat at it and it kind rolls back to KR. They play pass forever!!
*he has a cough and a goobery nose. Poor little guy but he doesnt seem to be affected by it other than it disrupting him when he's relaxed. That and I have to suck his nose more and he doesn't love it as much as he used to....
*lots of rain here which has meant cute outfits!! He finally got to wear his cute hat we got him!!

Man what a big week for Dean!!! We have so much fun and love watching him learn and love loving him!! It's also been so nice having KR home all week. It hit me this morning that not only will we not see him much this next rotation (6 days a week, about 7am to 7pm for 10 weeks) but I won't get much breaks either. Im nervous. But my main worry is just not having time with KR, especially not having our Saturdays. I keep thinking, when will we go to the pumpkin patch? When will we get our Christmas tree? I'm trying not to feel sorry for myself- we really are so very very blessed and things could easily be a lot worse- but I'm going to miss him :(
But the show must go on!! Just grateful we are sealed and one day we can be together all the time forever! In the meantime, I gotta take deep breaths when the going gets tough!
