As many of you already know, sleep has been our biggest challenge in parenting. All the sleep "experts" say to introduce a lovey for your child to sleep with. Apparently the idea is that they will take this small stuffed animal to bed with them, feel it in the middle of the night and be soothed back to sleep knowing that they are safe. However, I would like to gently explain to these dear experts that whenever we offer a lovey Evan throws it overboard declaring Leslie and I the only lovies worth mentioning. But today for his nap, Evan fell fast asleep clutching his letter M. I had to go grab the camera because it was so cute! He didn't even let go of it even after falling asleep!
Letters remain THE activity. Here is another picture of Evan showing us the letters he knows on a license plate in a parking lot. We don't get anywhere very quickly, for as you know, letters are EVERYWHERE! Good times!
We ask him, "what word begins with the letter M?" And he signs "moon". We are trying to teach him his web site address but so far all he's got is "dub, dub, dub" - which is probably a pretty good start for a fourteen month old. One more cute picture of a smiling and blurry boy who was very proud for climbing on top of his box. Check out the cute frog shirt that his Auntie Karla got him!

Wow, Evan is turning into such a "wordy" guy, both verbal and sign,just like Ann predicted when he was oh, 3 weeks old. : ) We look forward to Finn communicating as much.
Oh, and Finn used an empty motrin bottle as a lovey during a nap a few weeks ago. He he. One sign he was super quick to pick up is "medicine" to communicate his teeth hurt. Poor buddy.
