Although I did a picture post earlier today, it seems like it has been a while since I've written anything substantive about the boys. We've had several major developments over the past couple of months.
First and foremost, Myles started walking.....yeah! It is so cute. At first he staggered around like a little drunk man, but now he's got his "swagger" down. He cocks his little arms back and pokes his chest out and struts. It is hilarious.
Secondly, along with his newly acquired walking skill, came Myles' first trip to the ER. He's always been like a little monkey....he loves to climb on anything and everything. When coupled with his new ability to move around quickly and find new stuff to climb on, he is dangerous. And very quick. So, he got over to the deck and haphazardly climbed a few steps. Before Blaine or I could get to him to make him come down, he stumbled and flipped head over heels down the steps. I thought he'd bitten through his tongue. Fortunately, that wasn't the case. But, he did lose one of his six teeth. Luckily it was on the bottom, although it was dead in the center (see pics below and to the left). Don't worry.....he'll have one in it's place in 5-6 years. Ha!
Last, but certainly not least, Garrett is now FINALLY fully potty trained (except, of course, for the occasional accident when he's simply too busy to bother with going to the potty, i.e., when he's so enthralled in whatever cartoon he's watching that he can't pry himself away from the TV). He was so proud when he finally pooped in the potty that he made me take a picture of his "work product." I'll spare you the pics of that.
Hope everyone is well!
