Right before I got sick, we finally got to use Caspian's Christmas present from Aunt Steph and Uncle Stu: a gift card to Once Upon a Child. We figured it was about time, since all of Caspian's pants are fast becoming capris. Here is Caspian showing his gratitude for his present (technically only half his present, as we saved the rest for future use).
After just one time having quesadillas for dinner, the next time he saw them Caspian said "dee-ya!" WOW! He also says "uh oh" and "boat" and "duck". He signs "socks" and "shoes" and "cereal" and "elephant" and "excuse me" now. We're trying to teach him "wet" and "poopy" so he can alert us to diaper status.
My blog is ticking me off a little. Whenever there's a table in the HTML code, the blog automatically puts a bazillion spaces above it (see below). There's no way to remove them in the code, either. Grrr...
