Buddy weighs 43 1/2 lbs. and is 45 inches tall.
I got him a kids map of Washington DC for his birthday. He loves it. He likes looking at maps with B all the time and now, after receiving his new map, he wants to have a map collection of his own. So far he has a map of BYU, Washington DC, the St. Louis zoo and KU in his map box. Feel free to send any other kid maps his way.
He still holds his pencil wrong... he holds it in his fist. He's getting much better and letting me correct his grip. He knows all of his letters and how to write them (upper case). He can read several words. We've taught him the words: and & the. Everything else he just picked up because he loves signs. He can read: Exit, Pizza, stop, spot, go, and continually surprises us with the other little words he's picked up on. This is way different than how PS learned to read, it's fun to watch his little mind compute everything.
He's wanted this firetruck for a long time.
Baby X bought him more traffic cones. Buddy's response, now that he owns 8: "do you think real road construction guys have 8 cones, or do they have more?" He's already making plans for more. Yikes. He sets them up all over the house blocking of construction zones.
Sweet roll for breakfast on his birthday.
Birthday brownie when Daddy came home for lunch (B had class that night).
Buddy studying his new map over breakfast. Does this remind you of Jed or what? I'll have to post a bunch of pictures over the years of Buddy studying maps.
