Xander's ability to pronounce more words and syllables is expounding quickly. This morning he said, "carros" and rolled his R as he did so. If you recall, Isabela only recently did that for the first time a couple of months ago. He is saying 3 to 4 words together in Spanish now, a far cry better than the one or two syllables we had been working with. He also is using everybody's full names sometimes. If you ask him my name, he says Stephanie Amber Forster. He is working on adding in the Hawkes. I tease him that Dad's name is Brandon David Merlin Henry Forster. He replies matter-of-factly, "No. That not my daddy's name." A bit of irony last week. Isabela was whooping and hollering as she ran around. Xander screams at her: "Bella, be quiet. Chauncey Joel Forster Is SLEEPING!!"
Isabela told her friend this morning her trachea was having a hard time. She had to cough to get her food back up so it could go down the esophagus. She pointed to her throat on each side as she explained. Yesterday, Brandon was teasing Isabela and told her we she was going to live in Alaska. She said, "If you send me to Alaska, I will pick up a big rock, and throw it all the way back to Silt and knock your house down." She finished with hysterical laughter following her statement, which made us all bust a gut laughing. What a weirdo. Wonder where she got that from. :D
I take back what I said before. Chauncey squeaks as he laughs all the time, but he doesn't talk or coo much anymore. Overall, he is still a very happy baby. He is so close to crawling. I would like to say he crawled a knee or two over Christmas, but it was just pretend. On all fours all the time, but usually on his hands and tiptoes, rather than on his knees. A hole even wore in the toe of his pajamas he pushes on it so much. It is fun to see him working on it all the time. He laughs, even, when he knows he is perfecting new feats. The piano also excites him. He sees it and flails his arms and legs until he is lowered down to play. Pounding away at the keys always puts a smile on his face. It is fun to let Chauncey play as an infant since we didn't have the piano when the other two were so small.
