Christian's First Book Club!

The Shaker Library has a summer reading program starting at age 2, so now every time we go there you can tell them how many books you have read and you get a sticker for your "reading log!" You wanted to pick out books about George Washington, the weather, and Dinosaurs this week! You also picked one out about Woolly Mammoths which has been your favorite!

Christian is on his way to reading!

Christian-yesterday you started using a new website www.starfall.com and we think you are on your way to reading! You love doing the activities and have gotten so good at the mouse! We also went to the Natural History Museum with Mary Abigail and baby Charlie this morning! We had fun! 

No more naps for Christian?

Christian-I thought I would put this in here for laughs in the future (although it wasn't that funny at first!). You stopped taking  naps this week. You informed me that you were tired but you didn't want to sleep in your bed for nap time anymore. So, your solution (since you still get tired during the day) is to sleep whenever we go somewhere in the car. Just like Daddy, you wake up refreshed after even just 10 minutes of a snooze! Right now, in fact, I am doing something I never thought I would do. I am sitting in the Odyssey in our driveway while you and Will are sleeping in the car after a morning of errands. I am eating lunch and enjoying watching you catch a few Zzzzzz's to refresh yourself!

The Boy's Share a Room!

 Last night we thought we would try having you guys share a room together since that is what you are bound for when your sister arrives! We set up the Pack 'n Play in Christian's room and you guys went to sleep pretty fast! There was some laughing from Will and a little rearranging of decorations by Christian but you guys did great! You both woke up in the middle of the night when Peanut went into the room and couldn't get out but you were out fast again! Christian, I think WILL woke you up in the morning around 7:45am. You both woke up so happy!

William's Second Step

You took another step today, Will! Keep going! You also started standing from a crouched position without holding on to something! And.... you say "woof-woof-woof" like a dog when you hear Peanut barking!

William's First Step!!

Little Buddy- you took a step today!!

The Odyssey!

The Odyssey is here! A beautiful black with tan interior 2009 Honda Odyssey mini-van! We can now fit A LOT of people in there....ok, mainly the soon-to-be 5 of us plus a few friends and family along the way! Rob said it was his "first gift to his future daughter." Because...we wouldn't have gotten one if not for her impending arrival!

Christian goes to Dr. Sperduto....

Christian, you have been complaining that you are tired a lot so you saw Dr. Sperduto. Much to your dismay you had to have bloodwork done. You kept crying in the waiting room-I don't like my blood, I don't like my blood....You also tinkled in a cup and thought that was funny! We will see! You went from 28-32 pounds since January 28th!

William's 1 year check-up!

Willie- You are a little pipsqueak! How do you have such chubby little legs but weigh only 18# 4ozs?  You were a doll for Dr. Sperduto but we need to put more weight on you! You eat a lot but keep going! You had 2 shots today and a blood draw for lead and an HCT. 

Christian's Last day of Carol Nursery School-moving on up program

Christian-today was your last day with Miss Haley and Miss Kim! Johnny, Ian, Jack, Charlie, Ella, Charlotte, and Cassidy will be missed! You especially liked Charlie and Johnny! You liked it at Carol and especially enjoyed seeing the snails every week....love you buddy...

William Turns 1!

William-you are now 1 year old! We remember the day you were born! How fast this year has gone! We celebrated by taking you to Dewey's Pizza and to Mitchell's Ice cream! You got a monkey stuffed animal from NonniGa for your birthday and you wanted to take him with you in the car. You call him Bop-Bop!  We got you a onesie from Mitchell's (you ate almost the whole bowl of ice cream) your Radio Flyer turtle car and a little sprinkler pool!  Christian-you didn't want to let Will ride the car....
