Dathan is now a little over 2 1/2 years old and amazes us daily with what he knows and can do. He began potty training early Feb. and is doing so good. We have the occasional accident and a diaper at night, but other than that he is a big boy! He talks all day long and has so much to say. He can remember things that we tell him one time and brings it up weeks later. He says his ABC's with a few errors and counts to 13. He is beginning to recognize a few letters of the alphabet and loves to recite books to me. He frequently tells Chad and I how things work and uses hand gestures to express what he is saying (it is adorable). We were at a park the other day and he kept saying "Tater Tot", we realized he meant teeter totter. When ever he hears an airplane he says "airplane go boom"..."sonics boom". (We have lots of sonic booms here with the Air Force planes flying all around.) Even though Dathan can have his 2 year old moments and sometimes a little too frequently we still think he is so much fun!
We went to a festival to celebrate Smokey Bear's 65
th b-day this past weekend.
Dathan loves Smokey and had fun getting candy at the parade.
When my parents were here a couple of weekends ago we went to a carnival here in town.
Dathan would not have anything to do with the rides at the carnival, so we took him over to Kmart and let him ride the little car out front. It was more his pace. =)
Mommy always makes him wear these crazy hats.
Kacy has had a big week! She turned 9 months, mastered drinking from a straw, made a few movements crawling forward (she is fast backwards, but still struggles to go forward), claps her hands when you say "yeah", and can go from lying down to sitting up by herself. She went to the Dr. this week for her 9 mo. checkup and weighed in at 21.5 pounds and was 28 inches long. She is 90th percentile for weight and 75th for length. She's a big girl! She loves her brother and gets so excited and laughs when he plays with her. She wants all of his toys (which he is not crazy about) and is very busy these days.
I know it is hard to see in this picture, but Dathan has learned to cross his eyes. He goes around saying "There's two____".
