Catching up- January and February

So here's what I would have written, had I been keeping up with this blog the first two months of the year.....

Liam loves to feed Lucy. He does it on purpose. Charlie would drop food from the high chair, but Liam does it intentionally.

Liam had his 15 month appointment at the pediatrician at the end of January. He was just over 23 pounds (35th%) and 32 inches tall (75th%). Of course, his head remained at the 95th% (He IS a Robenalt.) He was over an inch taller than Charlie was at this age. It's quite apparent that their body shapes are pretty well opposite, like many of their attributes. They're both long in the torso, though, like their father.

During the week of 2/6, Charlie drew his first person-like figure. A blob with long lines coming out of it for arms and legs. Liam started saying "go!" and "row row row" (your boat). Charlie also had a good visit to the dentist.

Later in February, Charlie started using a new phrase... "What the....?" Liam learned how to climb up on the sofa or the La-z-boy by himself. Of course this makes him very proud.

Charlie's pre-school class had a beach party over lunch one day in February. John and I walked over along with many other parents, and we spread out towels in the gross motor room outside the Sunflower classroom for our picnic. I wore my floppy sun hat, and John pretended not to be embarrassed. Charlie was very pleased that we came.

I took Charlie to a Cyclones hockey game where the CBA put on a broomball exhibition during intermission. He ate cotton candy and got a new souvenir hockey stick. We stayed for almost the whole game. After the game, Charlie asked, "Can I learn to play hockey?"

Margie and Morgan also came to visit us for a couple of hours, and Charlie and Liam had a great time with them.

February ended dramatically, as you'll (hopefully) read soon in my March update!
