Lots of stuff going on this month--I had a week's vacation and that was a lot of fun. One of my favorite things about working in a school is the time off I get to spend with my kids. We had a great time and the weather was lovely. Cat played outside with Papa lots and lots and a good time was had by all. Cat did get her first tick this month, which was interesting. I noticed the tick while washing her hair and had my dad come pull it with his tick-puller thingie.
Eric is starting to say lots of words: ba-ba, pa-pa, da-da, uppa (to be picked up), cah-cah (for Cat--only occasionally), heh (Hi!), bye-bye (with accompanying wave) and today: ma-ma. I was so excited! He's a very speedy crawler and is cruising around furniture like a pro.
Cat can say all her letters and numbers to 20 and is starting to know what sounds the letters make. She loves to spell out words that she sees everywhere--signs, books and ketchup bottles! She can type her name on the computer and is working on writing it as well (a little bit--she really is her mother's daughter and would be perfectly happy to just type everything).
We've been playing outside a lot lately and both Cat & Eric are enjoying the daddy slide and swings. I think that we're headed out shortly. I can't wait to get the pool set up and take them both swimming!
Hi Amy,
It was great hearing what is happening in your life. Hugs to all. I'll try to call this weekend--maybe Sunday. We have about 7 1/2 weeks of school left and I am really looking forward to summer. When does your vacation start? Love, Oma Joyce
