Daniel is 3 months old, and 14 pounds according to our home scale. He is very happy and smiles almost all the time when he's awake. He's also really communicative and manages to make his needs crystal clear. He has been sleeping from 10:30 to 7:00 or 7:30 for several weeks now. He's just so easy and happy!
We went to Mexico for my 35th birthday. It was a lovely trip! John had a great time playing on the beach and in the pool. He also enjoyed spending time with the family and was talking a mile a minute. In fact, one night at dinner, he remarked with surprise "I haven't talked in a long time!"
John is doing really well at school. His writing is going very well; he has brought home worksheets this week with "John Will" (proper capitalization) on them, and has been writing long words like "octagon." He is reading a little bit - sight words, making educated guesses, and sounding things out. He loves singing, especially "You Are My Sunshine" and "We Built This City".
He also has an amazing memory. Tonight I was singing "I Cain't Say No" from Oklahoma, timing out the song's length for a student, and John said "Are you practicing, Mommy?" I said "Practicing what?" He said, "Practicing for your show, at Broadway Palm." Well, that show was back in February and he saw it ONCE. Can't believe he remembers it still!
Another good one was when we were talking about the new movie "Brave" and John wanted to know why "she wanted to change her feet." Guess the accent was slightly misunderstood.
