Gus is 11 months old
It is so shocking our baby is a month away from 1 year old!! How did so much time go by lickety split? It feels like he's just arrived!
He is growing and changing so fast lately. I have on the calendar April 10th Gus Sat. Only a month and half ago he figured out how to get into a sitting position on his own. Now he's crawling at turbo speed, pulling himself up to a stand, cruising the furniture, taking steps while we hold his hands, practicing with a sippy cup, WAVING BYE BYE (as of tonight), loving the bath tub and even though he is still TOOTHLESS loving to eat!
He especially enjoys jelly toast.

Gus really is pretty easy going and so sweet. He laughs and giggles at us all the time.

Brothers
Gus ALWAYS laughs and smiles so lovingly at his big brother.

Reese SOMETIMES is so sweet to his little brother.
Sometimes he is a mean turd...we've taken to 2 separate Costco carts because they just can't keep thier hands to themselves. If Gus touches Reese, Reese has a fit a whacks Gus. This shot looks like he's about to hit Gus though in this case they were sharing the cart nicely.
Mostly they are able to play pretty cooperatively.
I sure do hope they grow up being best friends.

Playground
About 100 years ago we bought a playground and we finally started building it! The reviews recommended labeling all the parts first so I spent what seemed like forever in 80 degree weather doing that so Kyle and his Dad could start work.
It has been raining every opportunity we've had to work on the playground so it hasn't gotten any farther than that. I'm hoping it will be done by the beginning of June so we can start having playdates at our house!

UW High Risk Infant followup Clinic
On Wednesday Reese had his 3 year old assessment at the UW High Risk Infant Clinic. This is where they followup with high-risk infant like preemies to assess how they are progressing and determine if they need any additional services. The appointments are scheduled based on what their age should be if they were born full term. Reese was due in May so we had our appointment this week. Though he has been 3 years old for 3 months, from the moment of conception he just turned 3. They want him to test at 3 years 0 months.
Hooray!!! We are so happy the services he's been receiving have been working. It definitely validates our choices, so we feel confident we've been doing the right things.

Growing Gus
Gus is getting so big!! He has moved into 12month sized clothes. He pulls himself up, crawls like a crazy man, pulls toys out of their bins, and uses his bean bag.

Hot in the City
Woo hoo finally some hot weather. We had a 80 degree day last week(according to our thermostat---the weather man may have called it something different). It was great for some water gun fighting!
