Day with Thomas

Year 2 -  A Day with Thomas again.  We had a good time and knew the routine this year.  Last year it was much harder with a 2.5 year old and a 4 month old.  This year, it was a breeze and I am thinking it may be our last as Cason is starting to turn the corner and is not as obsessed in the past 2 months.  I am not sure what the next stage will bring us, dinosaurs, legos, cars, etc?  I am sure by his birthday/Christmas it will be something.  Until then we will enjoy Thomas a little bit more with him.

17 months old - Rory

I haven't done an update for my second born in awhile.  Sorry Rory!  Rory had her 15 month appointment when she turned 16 months and I am posing it when she turns 17 months old.  Rory outpaced her brother at this point and was 33 inches tall (off the charts 95th percentile + as the dr. marks it) and 25.1 lbs (75%).  So a big kiddo for her age.  She exceeds in all areas of activity… walking, running, climbing, following directions, etc.  She has 6 teeth all coming in at once.  By the time she is 18 months she will have almost all of them in.  Rory can also use sign language to communicate everything.  She can sign, milk, more, all done, yes, no, sorry, thank you, please, dog, bird, and/or points to get what she wants.  This also means she has no need to talk.  She still doesn't talk with only Dada and Mama being her only words to date.  So now we need to work on getting her to talk. It is pretty hard to do when we are all used to signing to her.  We will say … " Rory say milk" and she will sign it.  "No Rory, 'Say' milk."  and she frowns and signs it again.    She has just learned how to "smile" for the camera, here are her first "cheeses" from our goof ball.

Playing in the crib

This silly girl just wanted to play in the crib… we also finally got her name on the wall.
