It Only Gets Better

6 month update time!

Monkey talks so well now, I can hardly believe it!  And the things he comprehends!  I can give him complex instructions and he does them, I can ask him where something is and he tells me, and not just "where is my nose."  I  can't find my shoes so I ask him where Mommy's shoes are, sure enough he knows, whether I left them under the bed or he's worn them and left them in the kitchen.   I, truly, am constantly astonished at how incredibly intelligent my little boy is.

Sorry, no pictures this time.   "Why not?" you ask.  Well, honestly, because we lost the camera.  It would have been one thing to loose the camera after dumping all the pictures onto our computers but no, we lost it with almost 4 gigs of not-backed-up photos.   "Well that's stupid of you" you say.  Well, in our defense we had run out of storage space on our computers.  My laptop was almost entirely full, Persephone's hard drive was failing and Hubby's computer...well, he had a good excuse, too.  So, three months of pics lost and another two that weren't even taken.  :(

And, in other news, we're expecting another little monkey (monkey, not princess) in March.  Woot!

He talks!

I don't really have anything specific to say except that Monkey is now talking.  Woot!

It's actually pretty cool.  He says stuff like Please and Thank You Mommy (even when it's not mommy he is thanking.  He'll say thank you mommy and then a few seconds later, thank you *whomever*).  Stop It! is his latest favorite, but he talks in sentences, too.  He says all sorts of things and it blows me away to see how incredibly smart the kid is. And he's not even two yet!

Craziness.

Yet Another Update

Well, no news is good news I suppose.
Monkey is doing really well, he says soooo many things now I can't even begin to list them.  It's crazy.  Just yesterday he discovered that he could climb over the baby gates.  Nothing is safe now. :)
Also, last week he finally figured out how to play his harmonica.  How cool is that?
As for Jason and myself we've started playing in the Clearfield City Band, which is a lot of fun (more so I think than OCB).  They even have babysitters there, which is great.
The house is up for sale.  Hopefully we'll get a buyer here quickly.  (waiting....waiting....waiting....)
And I think that's really about it.   Sorry, no new pics today.

Post updating time!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. We're all looking forward to an exciting new year.
Our house should finally be going up for sale sometime in the next week or so. With any luck we'll be outta here before spring. Where will we go? you ask. I don't know. How will we get there? How will we pay for it? I have no idea, but we are going.

In the mean time, here are some new pics of Monkey.
Getting Ready to go out... 

He claps on demand!

As well as gives big cheesy smiles for the camera

And a couple other Cute ones...  :)   I sure love my Monkey!
