Graduation Day

June 4, 2013 was a big day for our little guy.  He graduated from Pre-Kindergarten!  Almost 50 kids (two classes)were in the graduation ceremony.  Each class sang and danced to a song or two and then each child had their time to shine on stage as they received their diplomas from their teachers.  It was really sweet.  I may have teared up a bit. 

 

Here are a few clips from the whole ceremony.  Sorry I'm not too savvy with videos and couldn't mix it all into one long video, but here are the highlights:

 

 And we couldn't leave without a picture with his girlfriend Sydney:)

Happy Father's Day

That's my Daddy and I love him very much!  Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads out there.

Loving Summer

...And the lake!

Micah and I piddled on the lake for a while Saturday afternoon.  We had some glorious weather.  Love living so close to the water!

Hopefully, I'll finish up the next post all about Micah's graduation this week. 

Silas 18 to 19 Months

 

Tidbits About Our Chunk:

 

1. Weight: 24.2 lbs (50%) (At 18 month check-up)
2. Length: 33.5 in (84%) (At 18 month check-up)
3. Head Circumference:  (75%) (At 18 month check-up)
4. He still loves bubbles.
5. Silas' vocabulary has grown to include "yes", "outside" (his favorite word), "cook cook" for cookie, "shoes", "milk", "please", and "meow" for cat.
6. At school he'll be moving up from the Toddlers class to the Early Preschool class on June 10th.  He's growing up too fast!
7. Often we find Silas standing at the backdoor repeating "outside, outside, outside".  That boy loves to be outside.
8. He still loves bananas, but he has begun to be a little more picky.  (Uh oh, what am I doing wrong?)  He's tried many things, but his favorites remain: Froot Loops, raisins, bananas, and yogurt.  What can I say?  He likes sweets.
9.  I'm proud to say that we have discontinued the use of bottles in our house...at least until the next little one comes around (and no, we're not pregnant).  Silas was a champ.  He had his last warm bottle of milk the day he turned 18-months-old and that was the end of that.  No fussing the next night.  We continued our normal bedtime routine just skipping the bottle.  No problems.
10. Silas is beginning to enjoy watching TV.  He'll only sit still for about 5 minutes, but it's enough time for me to unload a few dishes from the dishwasher without having a little guy climb in the dishwasher when I'm not looking.
