Van's 2nd birthday

Our little guy has turned 2! We had a great time celebrating with Dad at home for the weekend. And celebrated with a choo choo train cake.

2 years has gone by so fast and Van has become such a big guy. He is talking up a storm and trys saying most words with success. We also got great new from with Orthopedic Dr at his 6 month check up last week. Van no longer has to wear his "boots" at night anymore!! We were anticipating Van having to wear them till 5 yrs old. But Dr. Gordon saw great progress and we now move on to Van wearing specially made braces that he will wear with shoes. Van has 1 flat foot and the brace will help it to move with more ease. We are still excited for all his wonderful progress!

Big boy bed

Last Monday I got as bug in my pants and decided we would give Van a try in the big boy bed. I kept the crib up and let him try his nap in the big bed. He got out once and I quickly went in and told him to stay in bed. Well he took a great 3 hour nap and the crib went down that afternoon!

Second kids pick up all kind of things faster than the older siblings. I was a little sad to say good bye to Myla and Van's first bed, but really glad to get that thing out fo their room. And if you come over Van will surely bring you up to his room and show off his big boy bed to you.

Myla got a new bed this past weekend and she loves it!
