Our Generation Vol. 1 No. 20 Happy Birthday


Congratulations to Allen, Elaine and Owen on their newest addition to their family: Nora Atchison Fawcett. Baby Nora arrived on September 1st and is such a sweetie. Benjamin is so excited to finally have someone his own age to play with. We also look forward to getting to spend some time with her once she's a little older.

Daddy had some fun brewing beer with some neighborhood friends and Mommy, Ben and Mia played with Jean, Leah, Charlotte and Rae. The girls had lunch and played with tons of toys while Ben watched and squealed with delight.

Mommy got some help from Mia and Luke with blowing out her birthday candles. Luke and his parents decided to give Mommy and Daddy a break and babysat for us. We had a lovely night out and even got to see a movie.

What's new with the kiddos:


Benjamin:
-rolls from tummy to back and back to tummy
-loves his teachers at daycare
-digs his bouncer and can bounce away for long periods of time
-has added peas, green beans, prunes, peaches, and crackers to his menu

Mia:
-works hard to do things on her own- shoes and socks, buttons her jammies, brushes her teeth
-making some progress on going on the big potty (# 2 mostly)
-continues to say funny things like "Mommy, I probably want milk for dinner" or "Where's my zackally?" (code word for anything that helps daddy measure and hang up pictures in the house so they are exactly straight-measuring tape or level pretty much)
-now knows that Bob Marley is a man even though she still has to ask if we are listening to the "lady" (hey mon- he has dreads, it's confusing!)
-knows all of the chorus of Bob Marley's "Judge Not" and continues to ask for Rush music
