Word Count

Hoyer is up to 4 words:
1. Mama
2. Dada
3. More, although this sometimes sounds a lot like Mama
4. Bye Bye

The Gills, Benefields and Kyle all left this afternoon and that is when Hoyer mastered 'Bye Bye' he had the wave down and the b sound, but today he put it all together, so cute. Kyle and I both looked at each other and our jaws dropped.

We had a great visit with GG and Pop and Chumba too. Hoyer really took well to Chumba, they played on the ground together, we are still trying to teach Hoyer how to be gentle...good thing Chumba is old and sweet. Her ears and tail were the favorite target.

We all went to church this morning, (well, not Chumba) where Hoyer is on the waiting list for their mothers day out program. It was a great church service, a bit long and Kyle is all confused with the Church of England traditions vs the Episcopal ones, but he will catch up. We dropped Hoyer off at Sunday School and he did really well, what a nice break! The way they do it is to sticker the child when you come in, you keep a portion of it, your claim check, and they play and enjoy the games and toys. It is really nice to have the time to worship without being distracted by Hoyer's needs. When we picked Hoyer up, he had an additional sticker on him, letting us know that they had changed his diaper. I like the sticker system.

The weather here has been perfect, 72 and sunny. Hoyer is wearing short pants and bubbles and we have since discovered his attitude toward grass and rough surfaces on his knees and legs. He crawls on his toes to avoid the rough feeling, it is quite the sight...

Speaking of weather, we have a storm brewing...more notes on that later this week.
