It's been a while . . . what's new?

Yes, it's been a while. If I still have any readers -- here's a quick update on N. He is starting to put two words together, i.e. a car, a truck, a ball, hot eggs, high five, two hands, etc.

Every morning he is pulling on my hand saying "Up, mama!"

Whenever I am getting ready to leave (which is far too frequently it seems) he fantasizes and looks at Chris and says "Bye, dada!" and waives -- like either Chris is leaving or he is coming with me. (Poor Chris . . . although, I must admit that this both secretly pleases me and breaks my heart at the same time).

When Chris and N drop me off at work -- which is usually just on Mondays -- Nealon will give me a kiss and then blow kisses and waive bye-bye. So sweet!! He even blows kisses to his bank teller friend in the drive-through at the US Bank in our neighborhood.

Today he was trying to sing through the plastic vacuum extension piece. Anything that looks like a microphone, he is all over. His other new trick is trying to do a front roll. He does a downward dog position with his head on the ground, and then we help him flip his body over.

He also remains a big fan of balls. The last time we went to the park, some guys were playing a pick-up b-ball game and there was an extra basketball lying on the side of the cement court. Nealon quickly picked that up and wanted to get in on the game. Another mom offered up her 2.5 yr-old son for N to pass the ball with -- but N kept turning around towards the big boys and wanting to shoot!

He knows the sound a train makes (woo-woo) and that a car makes (beep-beep).

That's all for now. All is well. I done with classes for the term, and have only two finals to take. I will post some new pics soon. He is such a handsome fella. I am so proud.

We will be in FL from May 13th - 23rd. Looking forward!
