More milestones

We had a great weekend. Our cousin came up from Idaho and the boys loved hanging out with him for 2 days. It has been cool and wet the whole weekend. We actually had a small mudslide in one part of town and the river is cresting at places. The rafting companies will probably not be running rafts down the river this week unless the levels drop. So, lots of wet, wet weather but come July and August, we will be thankful for that.
J is now up on his feet, everywhere. Gone are the days of him clopping on the floor with all fours. I already miss that sound. He is navigating the spoon/fork better. He is finally starting to use some of the sign language. For some reason, he has been very slow in the communication area, other than honking and squealing. He is also blowing his nose - quite the feat. No more pinning him down with the bulb syringe. Yesterday we were fixing breakfast and J got a bowl out of the drawer, went and found the cereal and tried his best to pour a bowl but could not get the container open.
B does not know it but after our trip to Florida (and his 4th b-day) I am going to try to start him on a 'chore' schedule. Won't he think that is fun. Although he did enjoy helping me wash the floor the other night. He also enjoys loading the washer/dryer. He has even had the patience once or twice to learn to fold the clothes. We will see about that.
Have a glorious day!
