July and August 2018
Summer fun and more growing and changing!
Amara has been enjoying her "puddle jumpers" (floaties) and swimming in the Y pool this summer. She has also splashed around with delight in the San Diego Bay. Amara is 4.5 and she just amazes us with her creativity and articulate speech. She used the phrase "I lost interest" referring to doing something she was into and now less excited about. That impressed Mom this morning. She also plays very nicely with Sage which absolutely makes his day. She does peek a boo, tickles and finds toys to keep occupied. Like any sibling there are times when she needs space but it is fun watching the two bond and hang out together.
Let's talk about Sage for a moment. It seems as though as soon as he learned to walk most of his remaining baby teeth came in. This must not have been comfortable but he dealt with it well. He still mostly eats soft foods but has mastered crunching a good cracker or tortilla chip. One fun treat is eating yogurt out of an ice cream cone. Who doesn't love that? His favorite fruit seems to be raspberries. Sage loves chilling on Dad in the rocking chair and watching animated kids' songs (Wheels on the Bus, ect.) He also loves reading books and going to the library. His favorites right now are Good Night Moon, Trucks, and Potty (keep reading...). Sage is saying more words. His main ones are: "Go!", "up", "Mama", "Dad", "Ama" (Grandma), "Mawa" (or something like that for Amara), "ffff" (fish), "tra" (train), "Um" (food). "Uh oh" is stated often and it means, "look, check this out". He signs for milk, blows kisses good night and waves hi and bye. He is obsessed with throwing away trash (helpful at times) and fascinated by all things related to the toilet (ripping off TP, trying to push the flush button, opening and closing the lid). This will prove useful one day when he starts potty training. I hope...…!
