The Stevens Family

Yeah, I apparently haven’t posted anything since VALENTINE’S DAY! I knew it had been awhile but didn’t realize it had been that long!

So, here is a quick run-down…

Dylan is a 1 1/2 years old now! He is getting so big. At his doctor check-up on the 10th he weighed in at just under 27 pounds which put him in the 50th percentile for weight and he was just over 33 inches which put him in the 85th percentile for height. He is starting to slim down; although, he still has a baby belly on him.

We have been lucky to have him home with us since school ended and he keeps us busy all day! He still loves reading and has taken a bigger interest in building things with his blocks (instead of just knocking them down). Oh, and he likes to sort things… ANY things - he arranges them in piles by color, or size, or whatever else his little mind imagines.

And he talks… A LOT! His vocabulary is growing rapidly. Some of his favorite things to say are -

• Mom-my, Mama, and Mom
• Dad-Dy, Dada
• Pup-py and Abbey
• Mam-maw, Pap-paw
• Hi
• Bye-Bye
• Moo, Oink, Baa
• Eye, Ear, Nose, Mouth
• An-i-mal
• Bo-bo (belly button)
• Poo-poo
• Shoe (or sh-oo)
• Shhh (he likes to put his finger to his mouth and do this)

And of course… “No! No!” He says this to Abbey while shaking his little finger at her.

And one of my favorite new developments is all the hugs and kisses he gives us. He is a good boy.
