Dexter is on the prowl. He's been a mad man lately, fast little booger. He's now climbing up the stairs and stands up (with support of a piece of furniture). He babbles constantly, been saying "da da" for weeks and then this weekend when I was holding him and talking to Jim, he said "da da" looked at me and said "ma ma, ma ma" and started laughing. Ok, maybe reading a lot into that, but it was cute. We finally moved him into his high chair to eat becuase he kept trying to get out of his other chair even though we had him buckled in. He's graduated to eating Puffs, which were a favorite of Kellan and Zoe's. Now we have to give him Puffs in between bites of food since he loves them so much (luckily half of them end up in his lap). Amazingly, still no teeth. With the amount of drool we expect them any day (been saying that for months now). We miss everyone watching him grow so much.
We had gorgeous weather last week, got a foot of snow on Friday, melted away with warm temps over the weekend to get more snow tonight and tomorrow. That's CO for you.
From the last post follow-up - Kellan and Zoe both did well in their conferences. Kellan is average on everything - which pleases us very much. Zoe is currently above average - which also pleases us very much (granted she is only four, but she is a fiend when it comes to competing with Kellan, which I'm sure has helped her academically and socially).
Jim was outside bar-b-que'ing and two of his buddies were eager to join him
Crazy Kid. Kellan snuck up on Dexter while he was supposed to be taking a nap, instead he was trying to pull his mobile down and eat it.
Zoe decided to put her boots on for the second time this winter (this was actually the first day of spring)...we're still working on the rest of her clothes (though it was pretty warm and most of the snow had melted).
Dexter has mastered telling us when he is done eating. He spits it back in your face. Of course didn't get it on video, but you can tell by his face he's letting you know how he feels.
I've got to be careful at my age filling my head with great pride. They're my grandkids might sound like I think they are the greatest in the world, well! They sure are cute, got a lot on the board, have cost their family billions in legos, have great personalities and last time we saw them they said they loved us. We're so happy that we don't have to pay for long distance phone calls after those 1/2 hour + calls from Kellan and Zoe. We are really looking forward to their visit even though it will break the bank. Adios for now.
ReplyDeleteI only wish that Duke could write a book. It would be so insightful.
