Some Pictures and Happenings

Sunday afternoon and evening we hung out watching football with some friends. It was a great time and there was lots of good food and plenty of laughs of course - check out some of the pictures! There was hot chocolate by all, Mike got to share his chips with all the bigger boys, and some mishaps with a pink stamp!































































Monday Mike and 3 of the other husbands of those in MOPS steering watched some of the kids so that we could have a meeting - what a nice way to spend their day off! We got much accomplished thanks to their help. They had a few hiccups but tackled everything like the super dads we know them to be. We also went to Home Depot - who really seems to be doing well thanks to us lately! Ugh! We bought a new garage door opener and more wood for projects Mike is working on, hopefully the garage door opener won't be too much of a pain and he can get it in sometime soon. Today we went and looked at a preschool (we're looking for the fall) and then the boys and I went to the learning center to play until it was time to pick Mike up from work. We were there 2 hours - running and running and singing songs and playing, still Noah has not napped! Josh is an eating machine the past few days, he seems to be constantly hungry but thankfully still has a great appetite for lots of variety in his diet. This morning he also signed please! We have been showing him the sign for it, but he hadn't done it until today and now he continues to use it. Smart cookie! He's also been pointing to himself when you refer to him as "you" It's great to see him making strides in his communication, he has several words now (up, done, dog, Noah (it sounds close to Noah), no (of course), momma, dadda, and words that are sounding closer to things like book, ball, block, juice) and he's picking up some of the signs. We'll have to introduce some more signs soon.
