update of the kids

Tatum-
All Boy.  Obsessed with all things superhero, transformers, video games, bikes, dirt, and friends.  He's an excellent swimmer (no floaties) and could swim all day, every day.  His fav foods are go-gurts, pancakes (with PB, syrup, and whip cream... in his mouth as well), grilled cheese sandwiches, carrots (Olaf noses), strawberries, popsicles, cereal, popcorn, chicken nuggets, fries, and all the candy junk he can get his hands on.  He is bossy, demands a lot of attention, hates losing to any game, very strong headed, stubborn and likes to be a leader.  He's also very smart, adventurous, learns quickly, sensitive, has an amazing long-term memory, loves to sing, loves snuggles, and talks your ear off with stories and scenarios.  He still is very tall for his age and weighs 45 pounds.  Wears XS clothes in the boy section (4-5).

Maeve-
Still fitting in 12-18 month clothes and hasn't changed much with her wardrobe since wintertime.  She's 20 pounds and hasn't gained much weight since January.  At 15 months, she still isn't even close to taking her first step.  She walks great when assisted by a walker toy or parent, but I think it will still be a few months before she's on the move... vertically.  We have gone through several pairs of knee pads and socks/shoes for the amount of crawling she does inside and out.  Her poor knees are so bruised and calloused.  After taking her to the N.A.E.T. chiropractor again for milk allergies (whey/lactase), she is now back on milk and dairy with no reactions!  Yea for cutting out formula and for avoiding rash flare ups!  She loves to push anything... toys, chairs, bikes, the broom,  you name it.  She loves snacking (crackers, cereal, baby treats) but still struggles to eat meals.  Still spoon feeding baby food most of her meals, and slowly broadening her interest in other table foods.  She only says "dah" and jabbers from time to time.  She loves the water, playing oustide, climbing up stairs, and wrestling with dad.  She thinks the microwave and clock are hilarious.  She loves to tease her brother (spit, pull hair, swat).  She still is so smiley and happy and brightens everyone's day around her.

Can't believe summer is slowly winding down and Tate will be in his second year of preK!
