It's a new year!
Hellllllooo!
Okay, where should we start...Halloween, Christmas? Sorry it has been so long guys! Since the last time we posted Lance has been an adorable skunk for Halloween (the cutest skunk I have ever seen.) We visited a few homes, but kept it pretty simple. We had Thanksgiving here in town at our cousin's home and then Oma and Opa were able to visit. Then the long awaited first Christmas. Lance has enjoyed the carols and lights everywhere. Other than that, he never really payed much attention. He wasn't even too excited about opening presents. This year he was just a little confused about what all the commotion was about. It was still fun having him there to share it with, though. Next year it will be great to see his excitement about the holidays and traditions. It should only get better. :o) We have been extremely blessed this year to be able to bring him home and share all of our lives with him. He has grown so much over the last 7 months.
Lance is now saying about 15 words consistently (even if no one but his family can understand them. hee hee) He can say: up, down, out, off, mama, dada, hi, bye, night night, help, more, banana, cracker, go, uh oh, quack, woof woof, please and maybe more that I can not think of right now. He is now wearing size 2T clothes and 7-8 shoe size!!!! What a growth curve! Our son is one amazing little boy. He is also quite comical. He keeps us laughing all the time. He is into everything except toys. Ha! Today he decided to climb to the top of the couch and reach as far as he could to grap the pendulum from the clock. Whew! You have to be ready all the time. We love that he is being a typical boy, though.
Some things Lance has overcome are being extremely scared of loud noises such as diesel trucks and motorcycles...he now ignores them or looks at us to make sure it is okay, spitting food out of his mouth...now he will give us what he does not want, he listens more each day, can bite crisp foods...now bites into an apple without it being cut, fear of being in crowds or around people he does not know...will run to poeple with open arms. Hmmm, so many other things that I can not put into words at this time. He is amazing. God is amazing for blessing him so much!
Happy New Years! It will be fun to see what this year holds!
Love you all,
John Michael, Karen, and Lance (Mattie and Rookie Woof! Woof!)
