howdy!
Well, it's been a very long time since I posted anything, because life has been really busy recently and I haven't been taking many pictures.
But here's all the news that's fit to print ...
We recently had Darwin's 15-month checkup, and he has made his way into 50th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight. This is a huge difference from his last checkup where he was in the 10th percentile for weight. Yay! He's growing! About time!
His word list is coming along quite well. Here's what he says on a regular basis:
- Dada
- fish
- ball
- bye-bye
- up
- down
- more
- book (which he pronounces as bopf)
- Mama
- this
- that
- shoe
- out
- veggie booty (no, I'm not kidding)
- cheese
- nummy
- and many more that just aren't coming to mind right now
He's in daycare two days a week now and is learning SOOOO much there. Having a daycare you really like and trust is incredibly important. The daycare, which really goes by the policy of trying to be more of a school, is awesome. They do yoga and dancing and a million art projects and they sing songs and go for walks and when Darwin falls down and hurts himself they pick him up and give him love until he feels better. Oh, it's wonderful.
While we were all sick for weeks and weeks, Darwin lost some weight, which was actually pretty scary. But when he came out of that he all of a sudden came out with an appetite like you wouldn't believe. He will eat anything he can get his hands on right now. Some of his favorite things are veggie booty (obviously, from his list of words above), tofu, hummus, broccoli rabe, blueberry waffles, applesauce, pizza, and beans of any kind. Watching him eat with such enthusiasm is an amazing thing for me ... it's wonderful knowing that your child is thriving.
I apologize wholeheartedly for the recent lack of pictures. I promise I'll try to make more time for them. But for now, just take these few with our love.
No, people, that isn't chocolate frosting. It's black beans. No joke.
Oh, he loves to swing! Total speed demon (that's my boy).
He just discovered his nipples!
In this picture he looks so much like J, and yet still totally himself. Beautiful, beautiful boy.
