No, my food!!

I have been so happy that Luke has been pulling up so well these last couple months, it is great to see. But along with his ability to pull up I lose some of my freedom. When he first started pulling up, I finally cleared off the end tables that held things that used to be too far to reach for the little man. Now he can reach those things easily. For example, just last night I left some water in a cup on the end table next tot the recliner. When I got back from giving baby girl her bath I found the cup on the floor and water all over the recliner!! I should have known better.


As I was saying, last week on top of moving stuff off the tables, I found myself fending off the little man just trying to eat my food. Usually I feed both kids and then I take my food into the living room and eat while they play. Well, not anymore!!

The other day I was sitting there, minding my own business, and trying to eat a sandwich. All of a sudden here comes Luke, cruising across the couch on a mission. His eyes were locked on my food. When he got close enough he went in for the kill. I laughed and said, “no, you already ate”…and then he kept trying to reach the food when I moved it. Then I said, “go get your own food.” Which of course I knew he couldn’t.

So began the game of “keep-away”. Only no matter where I moved my food, Luke was able to reach it. Silly little man. Is nothing safe??

Then I began eating at the kitchen table, and that worked for a couple days before Luke figured out how to pull up at the kitchen table!! Uuggghhhh. So now I have learned I must eat breakfast BEFORE he gets up and lunch has to often wait until he is down for his nap, around 2pm.

My baby girl has started pulling up as well, but thank the Lord at 9months old she is too short to reach my food!! I’m safe from her, for now anyway!!
