Well, the last time we wrote, Benjamin was turning 1. Now, he\u2019s 15 months and Hannah is 3!<\/p>\n
Benjamin\u2019s 15 month well visit was today. He\u2019s 60th percentile for weight and height and 80th for head circumference. He\u2019s very active, loves to climb on things, and throws everything he touches. We\u2019re working on trying to only throw balls. He\u2019s starting to say a few words, ma-ma, da-da, and bye-bye (and no). He signs a few things too, drink\/milk, more, please. He cracks us up because he makes noise almost constantly, razzes his lips or clicks his tongue.<\/p>\n
We started a preschool program for Hannah because she wanted to learn how to write her letters and I figured I better teach her the right way from the beginning. We go at her pace, if she wants to do school we do a worksheet or read a book from our list and if she doesn\u2019t we just wait until the next day. So far she wants to do school almost every day. We probably spend 30-60 minutes on it a day spread out.<\/p>\n
We took driving trips to Texas for both Thanksgiving and Christmas\/New Years to see both sides of the family and then Nate\u2019s parents came back with us in January to watch the kids for a week while our nanny was on vacation. We recently did a weekend trip to see some friends north of LA and we\u2019re trying to line up a trip in March.<\/p>\n
Nate and Becca play volleyball once a week and sometimes attempt to go on a date. \ud83d\ude42 Becca is now teaching Sunday school each week and Nate\u2019s on the worship team rotation. Work is still going well for both of us and we feel blessed to be content where we are. We\u2019ve been on the list to get a full time foster placement for over a month. Our agency says it has been slow, which I hope means less children need to be taken out of their homes, not that the state hasn\u2019t been responding to all the calls. We\u2019re waiting patiently for the right child for us.
\nCongratulations to Becca\u2019s grandparents who are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this month!<\/p>\n
We pray this update finds you healthy and happy!
