Hi Ladies!
I haven’t posted in so long, but wanted to pop in to tell
MBA CONGRATS on the healthy arrival of her babies! The pictures are so cute on your blog and I totally love their names. Can’t wait to hear how they are doing when you are home and up and around more. Enjoy them!
Congrats to any newcomers since my last post, I’m not sure if there have been any – but just in case!
Carlyle – Maggie’s face is simply priceless! It looks like she’s surprised she’s walking…
Tear – Are you back at work? How’s it going? Is DH staying home with her mostly?
You must share recent pics if you can – please!
Hi to everyone else…. can’t wait to “see” the rest of these babies be born…
Caleb is doing great. He’ll be 17 months in about a week. He’s running, climbing, and getting into all sorts of mischief. He’s quite the
monkey and will try to climb just about everything, including onto a dining room chair, and then onto the dining room table, which is glass. We’ve really had to pay attention to keeping those chairs pushed in!
He gradually weaned himself starting about a month ago. He had a super runny/stuffy nose for about 2 weeks (which we thought was canine teeth related, but they never came) and just didn’t feel like waiting, and waiting, for my slower to come milk. He was still nursing early in the morning for a couple weeks, but he eventually got tired of that too. I’m okay with it… I had planned to nurse him (if he wanted) until 2 years, but its much easier to wean when he’s ready than when I’m ready!
He very much enjoys his milk in a bottle though – so that won’t be too much fun to take away over the next few months. We have an airplane trip to San Diego to visit the in-laws in February, I plan to work on losing the bottle after that!
We still have very few words, and they are random when they come. Yesterday he clearly said “
apple” at the grocery store, but I can’t for anything get him to repeat it or say it on command. He is getting Spanish and English, and he understands both perfectly… the words just aren’t coming too quick. His obsession with his binky probably isn’t helping. He likes to make lots of animal noises though for dog, cow, wolf, and monkey – and the occasional kitty thrown in.
Here’s a recent picture when we were out playing in the leaves with DD.
Hope all is well with everyone! I do read every few days and keep up on everyone, there is just so little time to post!
