Preschool, Progresses, Colds, and Watermelon

Last week was another busy week! Alex started preschool last week and he absolutely loves it! Mommy was a little worried about separation anxiety, but Alex just told me he loved me and walked through the door! No problem for him! He is all grown up and doesn't need me anymore!

Julia is as busy as usual! She started officially pulling herself up last week. She has been doing this for a little while in her crib, but she started pulling herself up on the coffee table last Sunday and hasn't stopped. She pulls herself up everywhere...the couch, the kitchen chairs, the edge of the bathtub! We are having trouble keeping up!

Julia has also started talking a little. She says hi, bye-bye, and she is really trying to say 'da-da,' but it is coming out a little muffled! She gets so excited when she talks...she lets out a scream and then claps her hands together!

Alex came home with his first dreaded cold from preschool last week. He came down with a runny nose Thursday night and had a slight fever until Sunday. Julia's cold kicked in Saturday night! We knew it was only a matter of time. The good news is that both of them seem to already be getting over it and it wasn't the worst colds we have seen, but we know there is more to come this fall and winter. I guess it was good prep work!

And, last but not least, Alex picked the first of his watermelons on Saturday. He immediately ate some and said that it was the best watermelon he had ever had and Julia concurred (Duke had no comment...he doesn't like anything that is green--on the inside or out!). I guess we might have a future farmer on our hands!
