November, so far


Here are just a couple of more recent shots of our boys. Eli is two months old now (Wow, that went fast!) and is a sweet, smiley baby. Two nights ago I got 9 hours out of him!! Now I just need that 9 hours to start a little later (not at 6:30 in the evening). Don't be too amazed- usually we get 5-6 hours out of him at night. Caden is transitioning pretty well. Tantrums have definitely increased but his language ability has exploded and his ability to communicate his wants has helped the situation. Caden knows his colors, can count to 13 (that's how many stairs we have) and is working on the alphabet (as I type he is singing "w x y and z" over and over). Caden had his first dentist appt last week. The hygienist and other staff repeatedly said it was the best 2 year old appt they'd seen. Caden sat in the chair and apprehensively let the hygienist clean his teeth without a struggle or a tear. He loved the suction ("Mr. Thirsty") and quickly figured out how it worked. Overall, a highly successful visit!

That's impressive Caden was so good for the dentist! Some grown-ups aren't even so good. That's so cute that he can count just to the number of stairs you have.
