William-4.5 Years Old

He is the best!!!  Hannah thinks he hung the moon.  I do not know anyone with a more loving heart....

William's favs are golfing with Baba and Daddy, playing on my phone, taking showers "all by myself," his rain boots, and cooking.  

He can write his name pretty well, knows more letters than he lets on.  I think he does not like me "testing" his school 

skills.  This is a big year at school and I expect to see leaps and bounds!

William is still not a great eater.  He weighs about 38 lbs and is in size 5

shirts.  However, he can still wear 3T shorts.  Naps are still great and bedtime is around 8.   William is still an early riser and is awake no later than 615.  

18 Month Checkup and More

Hannah had a great check up.  She's a big eater and is growing well (obviously).  The doctor was surprised by how well she eats as most kids get picky at this age.  

Her only concern was her speech or lack thereof...  

William had a few words by this point and he was still considered behind.  Hannah doesn't say much at all...she only uses mama when extremely frustrated.  The doctor had her hearing tested then refereed us to Early Intervention.  

Hannah passed her hearing test with no issue.  For early intervention she was 18-24 months in all areas but communication.  She will get speech therapy at school 2x a month for one 

hour.  This was the same therapy William received but he was 2 when it started.  So hopefully little miss will start talking our ears off soon.  

Also worth noting---

A week after this checkup she had a bug bite on her arm with a streak going down it.  I knew that possibly meant infection but honestly thought it was a bad bug bite that was trying to heal.  I was going to give it one more day then go to the doctor.  The daycare director was concerned and suggested I call the nurse ...who immediately had me bring Hannah in to be seen.  It was cellulitis which is a serious skin infection.  Luckily Hannah reacted quickly to antibiotics and began healing the same day!!!

18 Months-Hannah

  

Hannah is a year and half!!! Say what?

She loves to eat and I mean everything in sight.  Hannah eats more than her four year old brother!!!

Hannah has a slight (insane) obsession with her paci and I dread when I take it away.  I hope to start at age 2.  She takes one nap after lunch and sleeps about 12 hours a night.  I still put her down around 6:20 and sometimes she fights it.  

She is in size 4 diapers and 18 month clothing.  I will probably buy 24 month pajamas when she needs new ones.  Hannah wears a size 6 shoe.  She has 16 teeth but all four eye teeth are only peeking through the gums.  

Hannah still scares us with her climbing and running at lightning speed.  She doesn't talk but babbles constantly.  Hannah loves to point and goes to fridge for a drink.  I will say she's super clingy to me and I hold her a lot.  Some days are better than others.  Hannah doesn't do this with Rudy... 

Hannah spent a night in a hotel last weekend and did great.  We had a pack n play brought up and she went right to bed.  It wasn't perfect as she was a bit restless but nothing crazy.  We are looking forward to the kid's first beach trip at the end of August and Disney in November.
