It has been almost a year since my last post. Forgive me, I will try to post more often. Let me give you an update of some of the events from the last ten months. :)
I left my job in the beginning of August. (No regrets there!!!)
We moved to the lovely town of Mount Vernon Ohio at the end of September 2010. I love our home, barn, and six acres!
Toben is now all but 18 months old. So, I think it is safe to refer to his age as 1-1/2 from now on. No more months... just years and half years. (2....2-1/2.....3......3-1/2...) His 1st birthday party was held at his G-pa and G-ma Weyant's house with a Phineas and Ferb theme. Lots of fun was had by all. Tons of gifts were received. Weird thing was he insisted on eating his birthday cake with a spoon.
Life is fairly simple now that it is just me and Toben all the time. (Zach works and travels 4-5days a week) Toben has a relaxed schedule which includes Monday play dates with Elizabeth, 2-1/2 and Wednesday story time at the Fredericktown Community Library. (Fredericktown is also the school district we are in) Other than that he is just a normal growing little toddler. He doesn't talk much yet, but we communicate very well. He recognizes many, many words that I say and he can point to the picture or object in question. At ten months he had his first words, on and off. No joke. I have it recorded. He would insist on be held up to a light switch for what seemed like hours, so he could flip it back and forth and say "on, off." There were even times he would say "on, off" repeatedly until he fell asleep at night. Cute, but it got annoying. What else developmentally,.....he walked just before a year old... and quickly went into running and climbing.
Nowadays, his favorite words are "Dadwee" and "Mom" or "Mommy." My name is typically coupled with a whiny high pitch and Zach's name is usually in a questioning tone into a phone. (He loves calling his Dad) He likes playing outside with his wagon and climbing up but not yet down the stairs.
I guess that is enough for tonight. I will simply flood the rest of this post with some pics and post more in a few. (Because this bloggin' thing isn't rocket science)
