"First" Day of School

CJ is starting a new class today, which is basically a toddler playtime program once a week.  He was so excited to get to go to school, but a little confused when Mia wasn't there.  Once he saw the other kids, he didn't even care that I was leaving.  Hope he's just as happy when I pick him up after lunch!

Sarah's Birthday

We celebrated cousin Sarah's 2nd birthday at the zoo.  (Sarah's mom is Daddy's cousin.)  We had a fabulous time and couldn't have had better weather or animal sightings.  The best part was how much fun the kids had together.  By the end of the day, Mia and CJ wanted to stay with Sarah and Sarah was trying to come home with us!  The three did not want to be separated.

First we had birthday cupcakes and a little playtime on the grass.

Then it was off to see the animals together.

15 Months!!

Master Christopher is now 15 months old!  We celebrated by going to the doctor for his check up.  Sorry, CJ!

Stats:
Height - 31 inches (50th percentile)
Weight - 22lbs (16th percentile)
Head Circumference - 18 3/4 inches (64th percentile)


Activity:
CJ is into everything.  He runs, jumps, plays, eats, and reads to be just like his sister.  We think he truly believes he is already 3.  The most fun part is that he talks more than any other 15 mo old I know of; as in sentences.  He says "Read books.", "I want sit." (to sit in his booster seat), "I need help.", "Want more.", "No Mommy, I want Daddy.".  Currently, his favorite word is "NO" even when he actually means yes.


Teeth-
We have 4 (two top, two bottom).  The pediatrician says there are 4 on top that should pop through any time now and 4 more on the bottom that are right behind them.  I'm really ready for these to come through and I think CJ is too!  That being said, the kid can eat a whole apple and a regular chewable vitamin with no issue at all.  The lack of teeth is not holding this kid back.

Finally, here is a picture of our big boy and his sister eating dinner at their table.
