The new school year is in full swing, and I'm writing this at 11:30 on a Tuesday morning. You guessed it- one of my babies is sick. :( Connor seems to have caught the same virus that Landon had exactly one week ago. The only symptom is a fever (and Landon had a sore throat) so it's not too bad. And now I have extra time to post some pics and have extra snuggles with my baby.
Our big boy is no longer being cared for by Iara, the sitter that has watched him since he was 3 months old. Now he is a PRESCHOOLER! He just loves going to school and has already learned so much! He is constantly singing songs and telling us all about what he is learning. Although he misses Iara dearly I know that this was the right decision for him.
A few LJ stats:
39 inches, 39 lbs.!
FULLY potty trained. Yup! For about 1-2 months now he wears underpants to bed, too.
Knows the months of the year and the days of the week
Can say the Pledge of Allegiance (correctly!)
Can identify almost all letters and many letter sounds
Can count to 20 (we're working on going to 30)
He's a little athlete already
Participates in Soccer Shots- an organization that teaches soccer/teamwork skills
Can consistently hit a baseball being pitched to him
Still LOVES to listen to stories/books; favorite right now is Curious George
Loves to go for walks
Is still afraid of fireworks and is not a fan of thunderstorms
Threw up for the first time last week. :(
He dressed as a farmer for school at the end of a unit they were learning.
In the midst of getting back to the reality of work we have continued to make fun memories.
Ft. Wilderness Campground in Disney
Can you believe how big he looks?
Poolside relaxation
Swimming practice
Playground fun
Open gym days
Visiting the Orlando Science Center
Spending Labor Day weekend in New Smyrna Beach (a little adult time before the kids arrived)
The boys adore Uncle Lawton!
A few CJ stats:
Today he is 16 months old.
At his 15 month check up he weighed 22 1/2 lbs. and was 32 1/2 inches (long and lean)
full of energy and usually running around
loves to be read to- favorite book is The Little Blue Truck
talking more these days; says "mo," potato, bubble, "peez" for please, nana for banana, doggy, Daddy, Mama, eat, hi, and a few others I can't think of right now :)
squeals and points when he sees planes
loves to go for walks
understands everything we say (ex. it's time to brush your teeth! and he runs into the bathroom and gets onto the step stool)
Has 10 teeth and 4 more are pushing through right now
favorite meal- Steak, sweet potatoes, and asparagus
An all-round happy guy!
And just this past weekend, between the illnesses, a little UCF tailgate action!
Go Knights!
