lots of coughing going on here in the rogers household. abby's still got a lingering cough from last month's cold, and i'm dealing with pneumonia. fun times. so far the y chromosomes in the house are doing fine, knock on wood. ian's bonked his head a couple of times in the last few days, but that's par for the course.
ian is 13 months old today! he's had a busy last couple of weeks with lots of new milestones.
skills: walking about 5-6 feet before falling on his butt, finally starting to use a consonant or 2 in his babbling (dadadadadadada), saying ah-dah (all done) (ok, fine, he only did that once), having quite the vocal range, standing up for himself more with big sister, getting better with nonverbal communication.
likes: eating, milk in his sippy cup, playing on the couch, playing on the big bed, reading books, being read to, baths, pulling big sister's hair, screeching like a pterodactyl, the christmas tree.
dislikes: diaper changes, wiping face and hands, pasta, people interfering with what he's doing, waking up from naps, mixed fruit.
in other news, abby helped us decorate the christmas tree last night. this is the first time we've had the tree up since the christmas immediately after she was born. 4 years ago. we didn't put it up for a couple of years because of the possibility of her messing it up, and then last year we didn't put it up because we were moving. this year i was determined that we would put up our tree. and we learned something: 4 years in a box is not kind of a christmas tree. it's, um, crooked. but, whatever. we may get a new one on after-christmas sale. we've had this particular tree for 9 years...it's had a good run.
abby's doing her postponed holiday program for school this friday. all the grandparents are coming, and it should be a good time. then she'll have 2 weeks of no school...i'm not excited to see how that'll go. she's getting some awesome christmas presents, though, so that'll probably help.
