Trying to Catch Up

Unfortunately, I don't have any new pictures to upload right now, although I should have some great ones after my sister's wedding this weekend!

The boys are doing really well. Thomas took his first steps the other day! I know it won't be long before he's racing around after Jack. He also waves bye and says "Bah bah", which is probably his newest word. And it's funny because he'll say "bah bah" to something (like a cup or fork) just before he drops it from his high chair. His first word was definitely "dada", although it included not only David but also just about everything else :). Although he can say "Mama", he really doesn't use it to refer to me yet. One of his most favorite words is "Hiiiii" (with a really long "i" sound) and he loves calling it out to anyone new that we see.

Jack is also becoming a lot easier to understand :). He still does a lot of rambling, but he's putting his thoughts together much more coherently. He's also getting really good at comparisons and opposites. He loves to compare himself to Thomas -- "Thomas is eating fast, and I'm eating slow" or "Thomas is getting all messy and I'm nice and clean". It's funny! He also likes to say how much he "looooves" something. Like, Jack says out of the blue "Jack loooves coffee!" (even though he's never had it!). And when he says something is very big, he actually drops his voice and makes the words "very big" sound all big and dramatic. Sometimes we ask him questions and try to keep him talking just to see what will come out of his mouth!

We're all excited about Kim and Michael's wedding in a few days! I've tried to explain to Jack what a wedding is, but it's a little beyond a 3-year-old's comprehension level, I think! He does seem to understand that we'll be going to mass and then we'll have a big party afterward (with cake!). He has a little tuxedo, since he'll be the ring bearer, and he looks like such a little man in it! I just hope he doesn't balk at putting it on when we actually need him to, or isn't otherwise more stubborn than usual. We'll see!
