Family Fuller

Alright - well many of you may know we are most likely moving to Seattle or New York in the next couple of months. So aside from taking care of a 2 1/2 year old who thinks he is about 12 and a 3 month old (as of today!) we are also trying to fix up our house to get ready to list it (in about 1-2 weeks) and Chuck is looking for a job. We don’t have any details about when or where we are moving, but we will keep you all posted.

But on to the real blog subjects…the boys:

Holden is now 3 months. He is a big boy - I would saying weighing in at about 14 1/2 pounds. He is all smiles and gives them out very generously. He laughed for the first time about a week ago - just at something I said, I can’t remember what it was so random. He is also very ticklish and will laugh if you tickle his tummy - very cute. He loves to listen to people talk, especially real estate marketing pitches. He is also pretty vocal and making lots of sounds. Sleeping has not been going quite as well. He is now in his crib and out of the swaddle, which means he wakes up a lot during the night. So it isn’t as easy as it was a few weeks ago…I knew sleeping through the night wouldn’t last - ah, but it was great while it did.

So on to Colin. He has a new favorite song which he insists we sing all the time - Fly me to the Moon, which he will tell you is by Frank Sinatra. He makes us sing it all day, except when the actual CD is on, then he gets mad if we try to sing along. This morning, Chuck was sleeping in and Colin went back to his room to play when I hear him break into a full version of “Fly me to the Moon.” It is hilarious to hear him say “baby kiss me…” or “you are all I long for all I worship and adore” - he even gets the pauses right. It became his favorite song because it has Jupiter and Mars in it and of course he loves space. He will also request “the Kick me song with the Champ pane” - meaning “I get a kick out of you”

He is still very into letters and reading more words. Plus he now is starting to know a lot of the sounds letters make. I can make a B, D, J, M, Z…etc sound and he can tell me what letter it is. He loves to say what different words start with and when you give him a letter he rattles of a bunch of words that start with that letter. It is pretty entertaining when we are waiting or don’t have anything else to do.

I also can’t get over his memory - and I am sure all little kids of this age. He can remember something we did 6 months ago and every detail about it. Plus you really have to give him the benefit of the doubt. We were talking about Frank Sinatra and Colin said something about him at the Michigan Theater…well in order to figure that one I had to realize Colin heard the trumpets, etc in the song, knew it was an orchestra, and that the last time he saw an orchestra it was at the Michigan Theater…so of course Frank Sinatra plays the Michigan Theater.

There is a lot more I could write about but we are so busy I just haven’t had time to blog. I imagine that won’t change anytime soon, but hopefully we can keep up a little better…
