New Milestones

My little dude is now 4 and he is crazy active like usual. He can successfully count and read to 39. He loves his numbers. He reads his abcs. He still knows his numbers 1-10 in French and Spanish. He's learning to fine tune his drawing and willingly starting to write. While still scrawny, he has moved up to 4T only because of length. I don't think he'll ever fit into clothing properly. Not only does he tell us that he's hungry now, but he surprises us with asking for things like tacos! For one of the pickiest eaters, that's a huge step. He very much loves his sister.

My baby doll is almost 8 months and it has gone by too fast. I'm happy that she's not trying to crawl right now. She started rolling at around 3 1/2 months. Now she's spinning on her stomach and rolling to get to where she wants to be. She has quite the attitude. She loves to grab at things, especially hair, which she doesn't have much of still. She will sit up willingly after only a few weeks of fighting against. She's learning to fine tune her pincer grasp. She has been finding the smallest pieces of lint on the carpet. I don't know why the lint is more exciting than toys that surround her, but it is. She's just as small as ever. I'm trying to giver her high calorie foods...or at least extra formula, but those don't seem to be working too well. We'll see in a month what she really is. I have one more month to get her up another pound and a half. That was the goal the doctor set for us. However, everyone is in agreement that we just have genetically small children, and now I don't need to worry about how skinny they are.
