Hello Everyone! Here's an update on things at our house:
Lane is a very busy 21 month old. He is constantly saying new words and starting to put them together too. It's quite funny because he talks in his sleep and Jason and I will wake up in the middle of the night to him saying something like, "BIKE" or "CHEESE". He loves animals and he can say the names of most of them and tell you what they say too. Our favorite is when he does a growl for a bear. It's the cutest thing you've ever heard!
Some of his favorite toys include blocks, wooden puzzles, balls of any sort, plastic animal toys, he loves animal puppets, and he adores books. He will sit and read to himself out loud in baby babble. He loves outdoor toys too, when he's old enough to ride a bike I have a feeling that is all that he will want to do. He's not really a fan of the electonic toys that turn on or stuffed animals, although he loves his snoopy when he's grumpy. He also likes watching Elmo and Baby Einstein movies (for a limited amount of time while mommy makes dinner, of course! )
He is still in baby music classes every Saturday morning and he can now sing the dominant to tonic progression and I caught him singing a minor triad once too (for the musicians out there). He really enjoys listening to music and when his Suzuki CD ends at night he always asks for "more more".
We went to the State Fair of Texas and enjoyed our trip out there on the train, the fair food and seeing the animals in the petting zoo too. Lane almost ate a whole Fletcher's corny dog himself!
The big news here is that I am not 9 weeks pregnant with our second baby. He/she is due on June 25, 2010. So far everything is going well and I am not as sick as I was with Lane. A little nausea at night but nothing too bad. If I can make it through the first trimester I'll be much happier.
Work is the same for both Jason and me, which is good news! We are both thankful for our happy family and our good health as Thanksgiving approaches on Thursday. We wish everyone a happy holiday season. Please keep in touch!
