My boys
The boys are amazing.
Boston is a few days past the one year mark and is still doing everything he can to crawl to us and hold on to our legs for dear life until we take pity on him and pick him up. I don’t think he has any desire to walk because John and I are very comfy carriers. He can say “dadadadada” and give the cutest little grin. He is such a smiley baby.
Boston’s favorite food is cheese nips.
London is a few days from being two years old and can go peepee on the potty several times a day. John has really worked with him to help introduce him to the potty and I am really proud of both of them. London is barely talking and I recently had him evaluated through “Early Intervention” and pretty soon we’ll have a developmental specialist coming to our home to work on his speech. London is a shy child and really needs to build a relationship with a therapist before he will open up enough to benefit from developmental therapy. He has a fixation on trucks and Spongebob and chocolate. He is definitely definitely definitely *MY* son. He might look like John but on the inside that boy is 95% me. : – )
London’s favorite foods are chocolate, diet coke and clam chowder.
TeamRachel aka mrskatvon is both a website to gain public awareness of Juvenile Batten Disease (which affects my oldest daughter) as well as a journal to remember the events in our lives.
Rachel was diagnosed with Batten Disease in July 2009 and while we knew something was "not right" we had no idea that such a nightmarish disease existed. There are dozens of nasty, orphan disease which affect people both very young and old.
Aside from dealing with the changes of Batten Disease in my daughter, Rachel, I have tasked myself with making life memorable for all of my children to make sure that (at least) 3 of them grow up to be as well adjusted and happy as possible.
Sounds like everyone is doing great. I wouldn’t be too worried about London not talking much at 2. I was so worried about Tyler since he barely said anything until he was over two and a half. After Miss Chatsalot, we thought something must be really wrong with Ty. But he was just fine. Now we can’t get him to shut up! LOL.
Julie cracks me up! And if I were Boston, I wouldn’t choose to walk either with all those comfy arms. KJ and Tyler dind’t walk until 13 months because we were so happy to carry them everywhere. LOL. Ya know what amazes me-with the first 3 we never went ANYWHERE without a stroller. Mason hasn’t been in the stroller since he was about 8 months old. We carried him whenever we went somewhere. Guess I could have saved the $100 for something better-LOL
