May

While I am at it, here is my update for the beginning of May. pictures will come eventually!

We are selling our town house and buying a single family home! We were very busy getting our house ready to sell. We have been showing our house and are hopeful to sell it soon. We already have a house picked out and are under contract. We will close in early July.

Maya is learning so fast. She is very steady on her feet now. She walks great and even attempts to jump and can spin in circles and then lands on her bum. She can say Momma and Dada, ffffffffaaaa for food, she says HI!, she can wave bye bye, can blow and claps at herself when she does something good. She can give a high five. She still does not love being in the car but is doing much better. She sleeps through the night but wakes up at 6am to eat and I am not home from my route until 6:30 to 6:45. She used to eat ANYTHING but is starting to be a little more particular. She is so mild and mellow, and it is so much fun to have my little buddy with my chilin' on my hip. She is also becoming more independent and loves to run around and play with the boys. 

Daniel is really blossoming in his speech. He can put two words together now and is able to mimic us. After 2 months of visits from his speech therapist, he FINALLY started saying "more" which was the word that we would focus on each time. After that he really took off. Since then he can copy what we say to say his own prayers and is learning very fast.

Daniel is a tough kid. He loves to wrestle and wrestle and wrestle. He is sweet and snugly and will run up and give almost anyone a hug. He has the most adorable smile that will melt your heart. He is learning the whole time out routine and is starting to grasp it. He CRIES EVERY NIGHT for two hours! It is so frustrating! Daniel also protests any solid foods and only wants drinks, so it is a struggle to try to get him to eat since we can't really reason with him yet. Daniel LOVES animals. He loves going to the bouncy house and chucky cheese. He really likes going out anywhere, which is a contrast from Noah who always prefers to stay at home. 

Noah got an electrical 4 wheeler from our neighbors and has so much fun on it. He looks like such a natural as he maneuvers up and down the hills in our backyard by standing up, and leaning forward and tilting side to side. Noah is such a big helper and especially loves to help daddy with projects. He has his little tool box that he carries around and loves to hold the measuring tape and help out when he can. Noah is such a little charmer and has such a beautiful smile. He loves playing with the football in the yard or digging around in the garden. He loves running around with the neighbor kids and is really good at riding his bike with training wheels. 

My route is going great! I love doing it, but I am definitely not bouncing back physically from manual labor the way that I did in my 20's! It is good exercise for me though since I hate running or any other exercise really.
