Yet again, another two months flies by and I have yet to post anything or get more pictures online. Summer has been busy, but I won't use that as an excuse. We're just horrible at keeping up! So, this is going to be the quick and dirty round-up.
First, to our first baby -- Will. He's 21 months and has really lengthened out lately. Getting a little taller, and -- much to my chagrin -- losing all his baby fat! His little round milk-belly is all gone, mostly due to the insane amount of running around he does all day. And the fact that he's on the toddler eating schedule (read: eats nothing but goldfish, grapes and milk). He can FLY when he gets going, and we've been practicing for the 2028 Summer Olympics track and field events -- he screams " Set! Go!!!" and then tears off around the house...
Will is talking more every day, now putting together words and making short sentences ("Daddy mow lawn.") He is a little parrot, copying EVERYTHING we say. He still has trouble with the hard "c" sound, so he says "tar"and "titty tat" for car and kitty cat. But, I'm sure that will straighten itself out.
As for hobbies, Will is obsessed right now with everything car -- he has a zillion matchbox cars already, and we've collected other versions too. He's also liking Thomas the Train books, and has gotten into Jay Jay the Jet Plane on TV - probably the most annoying children's' show ever...!
Finally, Will loves to give hugs and kisses, and is still very fond of his stuffed friend Lamby Lamb, who he sleeps with. He's such a little boy now! It sort of makes me sad sometimes that time has gone by so quickly. Here are a few shots of our trip to UVa for reunions (in June) with the Gretos and Capone-Barretts -- with buddy Joseph and soon-to-be buddy Rhys!
