4 weeks and 2 3/4 years

My 4 week-er...
You are changing and getting big already. Stop it, please! Happy 1 month birthday! This is our first week without a dr appt or lab visit. Your eyes are really starting to "work"...looking at toys, faces, etc. You have started to give the slightest of smiles (not just the reflex) to a few people...Dr. Ben, me and Mimi. Daddy-o and I are impressed with how strong your neck continues to be. Your needs are more predictable which makes life easier. You have a good 6-7 hour stretch of sleep at night, but you sleep in the swing. You are well aware of Rea's voice. You get very still when she talks to you. You even stop crying at times when she rushes to check on you. We call you "fuzzy head". You and I are becoming good buds.

My 2 and 3/4 year old...
You too are getting big too fast. You are a lot of crazy fun! Everyday you're doing something new...I just love it! Since the short
stuttering period, you have developed a whole slue of new words and phrases. A few letter sounds are still off, but I (usually) know what you're saying. You love to pretend, pretend, and pretend...all the time! You talk to yourself or your pretend things, hum, and sing when you're doing what you do. When you have to leave toys behind, sometimes you kiss them and tell them "see you another day". When I get you out of bed in the am, you tell me "its a new day". When others sing out loud, you tell them to "calm down". Sometimes when Rileigh is crying, you say "it's too noisy". You are into birthdays and the birthday song. Love to hear you sing it. You tell people yours is coming and that you'll be six, but you don't know when it is. It's super cute to hear you sing your ABC's except sometimes you miss a few. We love you and your often intense personality. You're big, just so big and you make me really happy.
