Hello again!
Guess it's been a while...
Brandon is closer to 5 than 4 1/2 now, and we are registering for kindergarten this month!! That's a scary thought. He has been slowly working on learning how to read, and can recognize lots of sight words already. He can "read" a number of books we read alot, mostly by memory, but can sound out the word to remember how the book goes.
He has been doing swimming twice a week for the last few months, and will be the first to tell you he's in level 3 - he had to do 10 bobs to pass level 1, and then front and back floats to pass level 2. Right now he's working on kicking by himself on his front and back. He's still doing the Little Gym sports class, and has gotten a taste of soccer, football, golf, tennis, volleyball, and hockey.
Emily is nearly 20 months old now, and is getting smarter by the day. She is up to about 15 words now, and has finally added "mommy" to the list (long after daddy, Brandon, and even cousin Ellie!). She is starting to learn her colors, and can correctly say and identify blue, pink, and green.
She is still tiny - at her 18 month checkup, she was still under 20 lbs (19 lbs, 12 oz!), which is 15%, but she was 32.5 inches tall, which is the 75%! This makes it challenging to find clothes that fit her.
She is loving Little Gym and is quite adventuresome - she likes to climb up on the low balance beam all by herself and walk. She is also doing swimming and just learned how to blow bubbles.
