Updates

Time for an update. A lot has happened since the last post.

Whitney's update:

-March 3rd was her last day to nurse. I was sad that she has grown so fast on top of the great diet it was for me:)

-Feb 8th took 4 steps, Feb 28th up to 8 steps and officially walking on March 14th (it was a very gradual process). She loves it though, so much less frustration and getting better at it every day.

-Mid Feb her first molar broke through. Ouch.

-Whitney remains impressively smart with her talking (she will repeat just about any word eg. avocado), pointing to body parts & pictures and overall understanding of what we're saying. She is unbelievabe with using a fork and insists on eating with one every meal. She loves the bath (look at that hair) and has recently become a fan of the hot tub. This should be a great summer ahead at the pool.

Nathan's update:

-Not a single day of preschool has Nathan complained about going. He continues to love it and I think he's grown and learned so much. It's fun to hear him talk about his first real friends, Zak and Lucas, the only other boys in his class of 11. He is writing more letters and shows a lot more interest in reading. He can sound out most 3-letter words, it's astonishing.

-I still have to monitor Nathan and Whitney all the time. He can be pretty rough and mean, not saying she isn't the same at times. The jealously and fighting starts so early!!!

-Nathan loves the computer and is getting quite good at using the mouse. He is currently really into Bob the Builder and loved the Madagascar 2 movie. The Magic Treehouse series still captivates him. We have the first book on audio CD, I think he's listened to it no less than 30 times.

Matt and I are going to St. Lucia next week for Bud and Jen's wedding. I will definitely post some pictures. It is going to be hard to leave the kids (in good hands with Grandma and Grandpa), but nonetheless, six days is a long time:(
