TGIF - Thank Goodness its February & January is Over!!!!!!!!

It has been so long since I have blogged and I have been missing it. I read everyone else's so they should be able to read mine too!



Canon is almost 16 months now (Saturday he will be 16 months). He is still not walking by himself. He would rather crawl and talk than walk. He is cuter than ever! He is 30 inches tall and 21 lbs 12 oz and in sizes 12-18 mo, 12 mo, & 18 mo. 18 mo is mostly for shirts. I don't know when he'll grow into the 18 mo pants ;0)



Well we did it! We started out the new year of 2008 with a minivan! I can't believe it myself but it is loaded and is red-orange w/heated seats! I like it a lot but the Trailblazer will always hold that special place in my heart and I still drive it sometimes.



We also are finishing the basement. We have one side done and the other more difficult side to go. We bought some new brown leather furniture for the entertainment room and moved the big tv down there. The upstairs former living room now has more space and is more like a sitting/visiting room. There is a little tv for Bill & Canon to watch the news in the morning but other than that there is a toy bin area and lots of pictures on the walls ;0)



Canon can do so much now. He turns the light switches on and off and will hand things to you and even help you pick up things. We are still working on picking up the toys. He does high fives and waves goodbye.



We are really working on him pointing to body parts because he didn't do well in that area of his 15 month check up. He was however gesturing and asking "What's that" and all kinds of other things to show off to the pediatrician. She said he is a perfectly healthy little boy who just doesn't want to walk yet or doesn't have enough confidence to try it by himself yet. We really like her she's younger and has a 2 year old and really seems to be able to identify with the stages we are going through because she's already been there and has recent experience. He really likes her too except when she checks his ears.



He has been sick since his MMR - silly shot but oh well. He had a viral infection last week which entailed having a fever all week and then getting spots on his belly.
