My Sad. post from January 6, 2011, seems like a distant memory. In just a few short months, John Michael has grown by leaps and bounds. It's so exciting how much he's changed!
And I know... I am seriously overdue for a post on all the words and phrases he's saying, how preschool is going, his behavior, his manners (he's very polite!), shapes and color identification, counting, singing, and gross and fine motor stuff. There's so much to write, I don't know where to begin!
But stay tuned... it's coming... and, here's why I'm seriously behind...
In the past 2 weeks, Luke (10 1/2 months old) has started crawling all over the house, waving hi and bye, pulling to stand, cruising, drinking from a sippy cup and straw, giving sloppy wet kisses and generally getting into all kinds of trouble. I often find myself wishing he'd slow down and enjoy the ride a bit, cuz my head is spinning from trying to keep up. Seriously. I rather prefer John Michael's pace at this point in my life...
I'm finding very little time to sit at the computer, so for tonight, I will leave you with this photo of John Michael (17 months) at Easter 2009, signing LOVE. Today, at age 3, he freely tells me he loves me, gives me hugs and kisses, and it's the best. thing. ever...

Yes, there is definitely something to be said for the slower pace our children with Ds have provided us in their development - it was nice to not have to baby-proof my house for quite some time, as I'm the queen of procrastination. LOL Sounds like your household is bursting with newness!! Happy spring!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the best thing EVER!! I take care of a little guy the same age as Luke and it is amazing how fast the do...and how they crawl one day and the next day they are running! I have to say I love the pace Maddie is on right now..I savor EVERY moment! cannot wait to hear all the I can's of John Michael...Have a wonderful Easter!! smiles
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! Love that picture, so adorable!
ReplyDeleteJohn Michael is such a cutie! I love the pics of him...I am not just learning what it's like to have a "typical" child following a child with DS...it's amazing how we notice things that happen so quickly with Kailey but took months with Colin...something as simple as getting a smile and a coo from her! I am enjoying BOTH rides that these kids are taking me on...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what a cutie! (And your flowers are gorgeous too!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet picture :)
ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear more...love that picture and precious header too :)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of your sad post the other day! So glad to get a (partial) update! JM is such a doll!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! BEST thing ever! Elizabeth is blazing the trail here too. She climbed up on Matthew's Tonka truck yesterday to get to our tv remote!
ReplyDeleteLove that little guy... excuse me, Big Boy ;-)
