Trip to the ER!!!

Well it's happened, our first trip to the ER with Thatcher. You may all think it's from all of his climbing. After all I just posted about that but no, this is the classic finger (in this case thumb) smashed in back of door jamb. All went well, considering the event. No broken bones, just two stitches and he will loose his nail and some sleep I'm sure. He was pretty good considering, mom and dad were probably more traumatized than he was and I shudder to think this is only the beginning.

My little climber

Yes it has begone. I knew it would, I'm just not ready for all the falls. Thatcher loves to climb. I've only captured some of his lower climbs because the others I haven't been able to run and crab the camera for fear of where he may be when i got back. For example I caught him up on the dinning room table, and when I got to the room the chandelier was swaying. Which means he was reaching for it and can almost grab it, oh what fun it will be when he can swing from the chandelier's...yipee!!!

More!

So, I've tried to do the baby sign language with Thatcher and the only one he uses is "more"! He has his own version of more and uses it whenever he wants something. It's very cute and funny, especially when he really wants something and the action speeds up and is pressed more firmly. He has also started to say "mo" when signing. It is all very fascinating to watch and he is learning very quickly. He copy's a lot now too, sounds, actions and some words:) He also nods his head for yes and no and it's never just once it's over and over very quickly, especially for no, of course.

A 20 Year abcense...

I know it's hard to believe I can remember back that far and well; but it's true. Well, I've broken down and joined the fad. After a twenty year absence I now have bangs again. We shall see how it goes. I don't plan on braking out the'ol curling iron, feather brush or large can of hair spray but the eighties are back, I guess we might as well except it and embrace it. I'm really looking forward to that side pony tail again...ya think!?

Catch up!

Well It's time for me to play a little catch up. The first of February we Landon, Thatcher and I traveled down to Rexburg Idaho to help my brother Blair and his family move home. I must admit Landon did most of the helping. I was lucky enough to watch my nephew Hayden while my sister worked. So we got visiting in and a lot of packing. While there Landon also celebrated his 26th Birthday; Meghan, Dusty and Carson traveled from Idaho Falls for the occasion.


Thatcher and Hayden were so funny together. Hayden whom is 5 months younger weighs about the same as Thatch and Thatcher found himself being tackled and squished a few times. Not knowing how to fight back he just cried out. Most of the time they were good to each other, Thatcher likes to poke faces and learning to share toys was another thing. Thatcher, did teach Hayden to get in the cupboards and play with the contents within, or empty off whatever they could crab. Cousins are great!



I was a bit bummed that it was still very cold there and snowing, but thatcher was so ready to get out of the car the only problem is he always plays in the street. Even here at home, he always makes a b-line for the street. He worries me. I have to keep a very close eye. I am grateful how much he desires to go outside, we are going to have such a fun summer.
