Sea World

We made our first trip of the year to Sea World.  It was so fun to watch C's excitement at the animals.  I can't wait for our annual Mother's Day trip to the zoo!  :)  His language is really taking off, and he comprehends so much.  We're getting closer and closer to the first haircut though.  The curls are primarily only in the back, and the rest just sticks out wild and crazy - just like him.  lol.  We spent 20 minutes yesterday putting his socks on so he could pull them off and then laugh hysterically.  Such a nut!


R is getting to be such a big boy.  He's reading everything he can, and really gets upset if we miss bedtime story.  Over the last 6 months, his favorite color has gone from green, to green and yellow, then to orange.  Too bad we just decorated his room in green and dinosaurs.  He's also moving past the dinosaurs and more into super heroes and Star Wars.  


They're growing up too fast!

Dating

Apparently R cannot wait to date his friend, Macie. He says she is pretty and fun to play with. But then he gets sad and says they have been "arguing over what to play". He says, "Yesterday, while I was sitting on the frog, I look at her and say, 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?' But she said no." " What were you thinking?" I asked. "I wanted to play mommy and daddy, but she wanted to plan ninja angry birds." HAHAHAHAHAHA What a tough life. ;)

17 months

Well, I sorta missed the 16 months, but not for any good reason. Let's see. About a week before C hit 16 months he started walking. He had been at 6 steps for weeks, then suddenly took off. Now he's quite proficient, and of course is still climbing and getting so independent. He has three whole teeth - the second top one is taking its time coming through, much to my and C's dismay. He loves his little puppy toy. He used to call Dad "mama", but since Daddy started taking him to daycare, he calls both of us "dada". Silly baby. We're having to teach how to be gentle, as he has started hitting and head-butting to see what happens. He has also started letting us know when he needs to potty by saying "poopoo", so we are getting him to use the potty some. He definitely knows how to get what he wants by screeching at the top of his lungs. I wish he would do more sign language. He's certainly learning more signs at the new daycare, but he would rather talk or scream than sign.

R is starting his second year of t-ball and what an improvement from one year to the next. He is paying attention and is starting to get an idea of what he should be doing. His reading is also taking off, which has been so much fun! What a funny and fun kid!
