It's Update Time!

It's been a little while since I posted about Dylan's speech progress, so I'm here to remedy that. He hasn't had a session in 3 weeks because he's been all kinds of sick, but yesterday things clicked for him. He's still not using words, but he is now signing the word 'more', which is huge. Now Andrew and I have some kind of communication going with him. It's been awesome. A few days from now we're going to try introducing another word and we hope to continue in that way until real words are in play.

Now onto some of the fun things he's been doing. After months and months of wondering why Dylan climbs all over everything but still wouldn't climb out of his crib, he finally did it. Amazingly a week or two later, the awesome Katie offered us her son's toddler bed. Thank you! It's gorgeous and I love it, and so does the little dude.

That didn't stop him from saying goodbye to his crib in his own way. One last climb in and out.

He's also learned that the process for getting out of his eating chair is pretty much the same for getting back in. No clue why, but he keeps getting in it and just sitting there, even when he doesn't want anything to eat. Good thing we keep his chair on the floor.

Now for something Andrew and I have learned. Putting Cake Bites up on the counter does not mean they are safe from the grabby fingers of Dylan.

The toddler-proof latch on the fridge is also getting a ton of use. Dylan's all about getting the condiments and putting them in the dining room.

Now onto Wheel of Fortune. I'm gonna let you in on a very well kept secret. Any idea who trained Vanna White to be such the wonderful button pusher that she is? That's right. Dylan did.

Along with Wheel of Fortune, we've found out that Dylan absolutely loves the third Ice Age movie. Thanks for that fun gift Gramish! Something about the squirrely Scrat character just makes him smile every time.

Things with Andrew and I have been good. He's having a harder time at work because of the colder weather, but he braves it like a macho manly man and I love him for it. My little business is really taking off and I'm loving it. *Snickety Snacks* has been the perfect solution to my need to feel productive and meet new people. I'm loving it! All in all, our little family is doing wonderfully. Thanks so much to all the friends and family who love us. We love you too!
