My computer has been limping along for a while, but I think it's finally over. So, my post must wait until Ryan's laptop is here and available.
Athan is doing well. Keeps surprising us with his progress all the time. New words, new behaviors, new skills... Rob and Kat were here Sunday evening to witness his first legit attempt to pull up to the coffee table by himself. He won't get on his knees first, so he just tires to come to standing from his butt. He managed to get his rear end about 6 inches up, giggling all the while, before he gave up and plopped back down. So close! :)
Morgan, poor baby, has been sick. Snot, cough, etc. She lost her voice and sounded SO pitiful for a couple of days. We took her to Dr. C and she's on the mend. Still tired. Aside from being sick, she's still learning letters and sounds with mom some days. She still VERY much loves to cook. She is a great little therapist for Athan. She taught him the make the "k" sound, which we'd never heard him do before. She often (very gently) helps him lay down on the ground to practice sitting up, and then cheers for him when he makes it up. So cute.
I'm busier than I've been in a long time, but it's nice to be back out among adults once in a while! I'm auditing a class at the seminary and helping with an ESL class for Korean women.
Ryan is doing what dads and seminary students do: read, write, parent. When he gets time, he's working on the bathroom (it's fully functional - just trim and cabinets and such to do now).
There's the "catch up" for now.
Super Smiling Siblings: They can rise above, and against the odds, play well together. It may not save humanity, but it saves my sanity.
