Here’s an attempt at a catch-up post...
We celebrated multiple milestones in January with Elizabeth turning five and DJM three months old. In July we
were once again celebrating multiples with Elizabeth
We went to a favorite tearoom in Montevideo (filled with childhood and teen memories for me) to celebrate with Elizabeth.
She’s our Little Artist,
constantly surprising us with her creations. Here’s a sample:
Notice that she copied the penguin on her shirt
(from the previous picture).
She made great progress with her reading lessons, although other demands tended to crowd out the regularity of lessons. And she’s now enrolled (part-time) in a local pre-school – which she loves! We’ll also be “road-schooling” as well. (In theory, that will look like “home-schooling” – but we’ll see...)
Very happy about her first day of K-5!
She loved our time in Uruguay and was conversing fluently in Spanish by the time we left.
Being out at “The
Ranch” in Totoral was a real highlight!
This is DJM’s “official” nine-month picture.
He was already becoming quite a handful!
Look at those long toes!
DJM weighs nearly 21 lbs –
compared to Elizabeth Elizabeth
He’s still very much my “Milk Baby” – but he’s (finally!) sleeping through the night, allowing me to get some nice six, seven, or even eight or nine-hour stretches as well! I now have a new lease on life!
He has eight teeth now! And he loves standing!
He eats very well and seems excited about new flavors. New items on his menu are too numerous to recount, but some of the more exciting (or unusual?) include plain white yogurt, hummus, peaches, and strawberries.
He wasn’t too sure about plain white yogurt at first.
His Daddy pretended to share mate with him.
(But that’s just the angle of the camera...)
He loves to ride on his Daddy’s shoulders!
He went from “commando crawling” in Uruguay (and something that looked more like lunging than anything else!) to tentative crawling to racing around on all fours.
“Catch me if you can!”
He’s now unashamedly trying to get into everything!
Trying to get him to stay still for a posed picture is becoming more and more of a challenge, too! Here’s how the ten-month photo shoot went:
We’re so thankful for our little people!

Awwwww! Can't wait to see them in person. Please thank your Elisabeth for the goodies! I have given up on trying to get Philip to sit for his monthly picture. I just try to get his giraffe in the shot.
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed seeing all the pictures and getting caught up with the kids. They are growing up so quickly, aren't they? Enjoy each day and each precious milestone!

Poor lion is getting left behind! That is unfair competition!
