| Lucky Cobie and lucky kids. We are so happy he's with us. It's as if he's always has been here. |
Amelia at almost 13 months is completely on whole milk now. Unlike Maggie and Sam, the transition was easy. We are now working on weaning her to a sippy cup. Not walking yet but showing all the signs she's almost there. Colin and I noticed her vocabulary bursting lately. She is wonderful and so easy. Still sleeping excellent and the best traveler ever.
Sam is a few days shy of turning 7. I somehow feel like he skipped a few years. He is such a good kid. So compliant and very gentle and loving. Sam is very interested in insects & snakes right now. Starting most mornings off in the yard with a container and sometimes a magnifying glass too. Just yesterday at the garden shop, he caught a few bugs. They unfortunately escaped the bag and are in my van now :) It is so fun to watch him explore through the day and listen to him speak. He has the best questions ever.
Maggie is amazing. I can't get over the information she can retain. She really has a thing for history and is very excited sharing her knowledge with us. We are very proud of her. Maggie at almost 10, now has interests in clothes, her hair and music. She loves to pick out her outfit for the day now but does not seem to put up a struggle too much when we tell her she can wear some things at home but not at school, etc. Maggie is eager to grow up all too fast. I can't believe she will be in 5th grade next year.
