Fun Facts

A few "fun facts" about Sydney & Gavin these days:

SYDNEY:

1 - Sydney is actually, LEGITIMATELY thinning out. People that don't know her would never believe that is possible, but the girl's tummy is getting less round and her legs are getting less chubby. She's still a chunk but all that running is trimming her down.

2 - Sydney's been working on her molars now for what feels like a month. I keep getting my fingers in there and feeling these big swollen lumps. About a week after Christmas I felt one cut through (yay!) but the other four a being stinkers. We've had more than a few challenging days.

3 - Syd's making all kinds of noises...that could actually...dare I say...pass for words!?!? She's adding the words up, night-night, cracker and papa to her repertoire. Who's kid is this?

4 - She eats like a haus. Seriously, she can put it away.


GAVIN:

1 - Gavin's in a huge BEAR HUNT phase...he likes to read the book, listen to the music on tv and play bear hunt all over the house with ANYONE that will respond. He likes to be the bear, pretend there is a bear or make you there bear...it doesn't matter.

2 - Gavin loves school and loves therapy. He gets excited every morning about one or the other.

3 - BIG Helper. FAVORITE WORDS. He wants to help me do everything and when I make lunch without him or do another job he likes to do without him, there is often words. How this doesn't equate to picking up toys though, I have yet to figure out.

4 - He's doing SO much better on the potty. We still have accidents. Mostly they are just pee thank goodness but not always. However, he's actually TELLING me sometimes when he has to go which is a huge breakthrough.

5 - As for language...he's trying more and more. We have more words and more accuracy. We are still very very far behind BUT further ahead than we were 6 months ago.

6 - He loves playing pretend. Sometimes I'm Gavin and he's the Mommy and he drives us to school or church or the store. Sometimes he's stuck and injured and we need to rescue him and doctor him up. Sometimes he's a chef creating a multi-course meal. He loves to pretend.
