Fall 2011

Elton is now over 13 months old. I have been very busy getting back into the swing of things at work. I don't have any pictures downloaded to the computer yet, so I will have to give you a written update on the past few weeks with pictures to follow later.

Elton:

• Started a new daycare this year
• First week: didn't make a peep, did not like the girl his same age because she took his paci
• Second week cried every time I dropped him off, still cried whenever that same girl went next to him, started to enjoy the other kids
  
• Third week: Likes going to daycare, has a little crush on a three year old girl, no longer cries, makes lots of noise!
• Loves playing outside, digging in the dirt or sand, running around the grass, picking up rocks, climbing the steps, and playing in the leaves
• Begs to go outside almost constantly (can't wait to see how that goes this winter)
• Got a terrible ear infection and it still recovering. Very high temps and miserable for a few days.
  
• Loves puppies and books!
• Went to Barnes and Noble story time and listed to books about dogs
  
• Drinks from a straw and loves to eat cupcakes, muffins, and ice cream
  
• Is now 23.5 pounds
• Attended Heather and Becci's wedding reception in Madison, WI and visited with family
• Took his first bus and taxi ride

Jon

• Works every day plus is on call every 4th weekend and a few nights a week
• Has after school crew with Elton and Macy everyday until I come home from work
• Managed to take a gazebo off our roof after it blew up there
• Cleaned up toilet paper from our lawn and house on a nice Saturday morning
• Has been enjoying Wisconsin sports

Jacque

• Works everyday
• Started selling Avon
• Was annoyed waking up to toilet paper in our lawn and on the house

That is about all for now... hopefully some pictures soon
