Update on the lil man!

This boy is growing up WAY TOO FAST~!  The last weight I got on him he was 36" and just shy of 36 lbs.  That is a gain of 8" and 17 lbs.  WOW!  He amazes us daily!

Daddy came home with a new potty chair 2 days ago, and just like that he started to use it.  Therefore, he has ran around bare bottom the last couple days.  Thank goodness we haven't had any company! 

Potty training is T.O.U.G.H work!
I love when he falls asleep with his blanket, he puts a end in his mouth and sucks it a little.  He still has a little bit of "baby" in him and we love it!

He has gotten to be quite the little "techie", he can play Mario Brothers with the best of them and knows how to run his Daddy's IPod touch.  I don't even know how to use it!

He is the biggest ham you'd ever want to meet.  His eyes are so expressive and he gives a little side-glance that makes everyone smile.

Speech-this is a tough one!  He has had so many hurdles to overcome-more than any little one should ever have to endure.  His speech is ok-we can understand him about 50% of the time.  We are amazed because he spent so much time "silent", he was just taking it all in.  He likes to keep his mouth closed while he talks but most of the time we can still understand what he is saying.  He is starting to get more frustrated when we don't understand him which is good.  That will make him try harder.  He is a little stubborn and doesn't want to try at times so I have to turn his head towards me and say the word so he is looking at my mouth.  He is starting to sound nasaly so I'm sure a P-flap surgery is in his future.



 
We are truly blessed to be given a opportunity to raise this incredible boy-we are proud parents!

  1. Oh he is so stinkin' cute. We haven't really started on potty training with Lili. She's doing okay but we still have a long way to go, for sure!
    Also, we just weighed Lili today and she is 36.1 pounds. Sounds like they are pretty similar in size. I'll measure her tonight and see where she measures. Thanks for the update. He's to die for!
