Tea & Fleur De lis : June 2016

Okay, so I am going at the blog posts at a new angle.... Since I keep getting behind on month milestone, I am going to post the actual month and what we did that month. And what age my boys turned that month. See if this helps me figure out the jumble of the posting!

Harrison (turned 20 months)

- 20 months seems so old!! Like he is almost 2!!
- His vocabulary and comprehension is just mind blowing! He continues to surprise us. In just he most amazing ways!
- On Friday June 17th he counted to 3, 1-to-1 correspondence, put the frogs on the tuba and counted them. On Saturday June 18th he picked up a pink sharpie and said pink. Chris and I looked at each other and were like what!? We have both only talked about red & blue with him. He then continued to show us the pink marker. whoa.
- He will get up and point to people in pictures. He can do just about any animal sound. He can recognize a few letters (W.O.H.D.P.S.A)
- We have full sentences it is so much fun!! Some of the ones you hear a lot are: "Daddy home" "I did it" "my turn" "hit ball" "right there/here" "Its/I/Mommy/Daddy/Dougoo funny" "I cuk (cut)" "Daddy cuk(cut) grass"

Douglas (turned 4 months)

- On Saturday June 18th Douglas took his first nap in his bassinet. He had previously only napped on people, being worn, in his swing, in his bouncer seat, on his bop lounger, and in his carseat. He had a few naps on a bed, but they never lasted long. During this nap was his first time using the Merlin Magic sleep suit. He has been sleeping in the miracle blanket, but can now get his arms out. He is like a magician, he moved downs and gets his legs up and loosens it, wild! So tonight we are gonna try the Merlin suit as well. Adele loved it, I hope Douglas does too. Oh, and his nap was 35m!
- Douglas began to cut his bottom teeth and they both broke through (although that technically happened in July)

June Fun:

- Lily turned 1 & we went to Houston to celebrate her! The ride down there was so-so and then awful the last hour. The ride back was excellent. Harrison watched his first ever shows, like actually watched. He only liked when Mickey sung prior. He watched episodes of Thomas and Friends and Dora the Explorer.
- Aunt KK came to visit! We had the very best time! We are so proud of the lady she has grown into in her time in NYC!
- Cheech and Chong came to visit on their way to and from Breckinridge, TX for a cousins wedding. We got to spend fathers day with both of our dads for the first time in I can't even tell you how long! We also got to spend mothers day with both of our moms this year bc it was Douglas's baptism weekend!
- Liuzza had surgery. She had two mast cell tumors removed. One on her ear and one on her back. She will now have to have any bump removed as they pop up. Because apparently you are prone to them once you have them. Please say a prayer for my sweet girl that this ugly and fast doggie cancer never fully takes her. I am very torn on continuing to put her under and have her go through surgery. I also want to keep her for a very long time. She is truly the best dog I have ever had and I love her some kind of fierce. She also adores my boys and I want them to grow up together!
