Talmage Update



Talmage is 15 months now and I just wrote down all the words he says and it is around 75. I won't list them all but some of my favorites: cracker, no-way, dude, button, waffle, oatmeal, cooking, pillow, blanket, spoon, water, smoothie, outside, moon, high chair, trees, please, plants, wow etc. etc. I will just be talking and he will say words i said so now i have to be a little more careful about what I say! He also is becoming more helpful, after I change his diaper he goes and puts it in the trash! Also Mckenzie (his aunt/babysitter) taught him to sign "love you" and blow kisses, which is quite endearing. He still signs lots of stuff too but I haven't been teaching him new signs because he is finding the words now. He is becoming a little sneaky though, every time i go to put him in his room to go to sleep for the night he asks for 1st- food 2nd- milk 3rd-snack, even though he just had all three. I can't believe he already understands the concept of stalling bedtime! It blows me away. How do kids know this stuff!? Oh, and he HATES getting his teeth brushed...if anyone has any tips i could really use some help! I have so much fun with him and am excited every day to see what he does next. P.S. we can no longer go to restaurants, church, or any sort of gathering where your child needs to sit still and not mess with everything...I will be happy when we can do that again

Carrie's doing a Marathon! (I hope)



So since I'm fully recovered from the birth of my 9 lb 12 oz baby :)  I am finely going to do a marathon!  I have always wanted to do one and I have been having a blast just doing the training.  I seriously love it and get so excited to do my runs!  I am doing the San Diego Half Marathon on August 16th and the Seattle Marathon on November 29th.  I am training with a couple friends so if any of you out there are runners we would love for you to join us!  Hopefully it all goes well and I can actually do it! I will try to update on how it's going...
