Letters

Kurt LOVES to read. One of his favorite books right now is called Alphabetics by Suse McDonald. It is a book with the alphabet (obviously) and transforms each letter into something beginning with that letter. For instance, the letter "F" turns into a fish. And the letter of importance for this post is the "O" - it becomes a pair of eyes on an Owl.

Anyway, so today, he picked up another book called "First Words." And he got really excited and came up to me pointing at something on the cover and saying "who-who-who-who." I didn't know what he was saying so I asked him to show me again and he pointed to the "o" in the title "wOrd" and said "who-who-who."

So basically, I think he's pretty smart. He recognized the letter "O" and remembered the picture that goes with "O" - the owl. (He doesn't really call animals by name, he tells you what sound they make). He amazes me everyday with his intelligence. He always seems so much older than 18 months.

(He can also pick out the letter "B." Whenever he sees one he gets really excited and screams "be, be, be!" Is that how you'd spell the letter B?)

Home Alone

Brandon is out auditioning again so Kurt and I are home alone...we are glad this is the last trip. It is the longest, but it is the last. We miss our daddy when he's gone. Then the waiting continues for acceptance letters/scholarships offers. Two years ago, it seemed like we only had one option so the choice was easy. But this time around, there are going to be so many options, the decision will be much harder. And after this winter here in Michigan, the southern locals are very tempting... Anyone up for some beach time in Miami? :)

I love you

He's been saying "love you" for a while when we told him too, but now he responds automatically when we tell him we love him. It's really cute!! It's nice to have your kids love you huh?

Blackmail?

Much to his daddy's dismay...Kurt loves my purses and now, my heels. I've caught him in them twice in the last week or so.

Baby #2

So we had another sonogram today for our little newcomer to check on his growth and basic system functions... he is still doing really well and growing as scheduled. He is already weighing in at 5 lbs 12 oz which is actually, 2 weeks early so I can only hope and cross my fingers. They also showed us his face (and a few other body parts) in a cool 3D mode. It was pretty cool. Unfortunately, we didn't get a print out of that. Maybe next time he'll pose more for the camera.

HI ALL

Well, I will have to learn this new blogging world...everyone else has such cool pages. I want mine to be as cool.
