Shea is seen here modeling an outfit I used to wear 40 years ago. I believe my Aunt Carol made this outfit for me while I was an Army brat living in Germany.
Daphne came over to me this weekend and had a scared look on her face. She said, "Daddy? I'm really worried that you are going to die when you turn 100 and that's not too far off." Just how old does she think I am? LOL. I explained to her that people can die at any time (not just 100). So, that made her even more worried!
Shea is starting to use 3 and 4 word sentences and some of his new words and phrases are quite comical. "Bye bye now", "All gone", "I want some more", "A bite, please", and just about anything that is sweet or tastes good is known as "cocklett" (chocolate). He also has heat and cold confused ---- he'll say "brrr. hot" when we are outside in the cold air. Or if he's taking a hot bath, he might say, "cold!" hehehe
Oh yeah, and if you ask Shea the color of anything, he says, "Yellow".
Daphne's 5th birthday is less than 3 weeks away. She's very much into princess themed items these days (with her favorite character being Ariel, the Little Mermaid). I guess that is better than last year's favorite, Sponge Bob Squarepants! She now admits to "kinda loving Shea" because of his cute blonde hair. That is a major improvement over "kinda hating him" because he cries so much.
Shea is still as tiny as ever, but he can climb into any chair and loves to climb up onto the couch by himself. He also loves getting into our cabinets and making a mess. Some of his new words are: mote (TV remote control), moan (telephone), muck (milk), nanna (banana), pawberry (strawberry), bapple (apple), and doggie (every animal is a doggie to Shea). He can quack, moo, and bark if you point to the various "doggies".
Shea had his 18 month check up last week.
Our little guy is finally on the graph! He is 31 inches tall and weighs in at a whopping 21 lbs 9 oz.
Although Daphne still claims to hate him, she hugs and kisses Shea several times per day. She's going to be a great big sister once they can play together...
