Cleaning off my Phone

It's time to clear off the phone again. Here are some pictures from our last little bit of time in Indiana and the beginning of our time in Wisconsin.

Homeless and Baseball

We are currently homeless. We sold our house in Indiana and are waiting to close on the house we are intending to buy in Memphis until the start of July. In the interim, the kids and I are staying with my parents in Northern Wisconsin and Kris is still in Indiana working and staying with a friend.

Wayne and Nathaniel came up for the weekend and we played a lot of baseball. We have signed Stian up to play t-ball here, and it starts next week. So we were getting him primed.

First Words

Silje is starting to use some words. I'd say her first word is probably "baby". She uses this for pretty much any toy that has a face, or a picture of a baby. She uses it mostly with her doll and her stuffed monkey. But she also used it the other day with Stian's monster finger puppet and with a picture of a baby on a package. She also says "that" or rather "dat". She'll point at something she wants and say "dat, dat, dat, dat" until someone hands it to her. She also says "hi". I think she says "bye" too. And she has a word for "Stian" that sounds a little like "Dian". She uses "Mommom" and "dada" some too. It's so fun to hear her start using language. It's fun to see her language understanding expanding too.

Silje's one year appointment

Silje had her one year appointment this morning. She is doing well. Her stats were 29.92" tall and 20 lbs 3 oz in weight. That puts her around 90th percentile for height and 60th for weight. She is staying right on her growth charts.

ONE!

Silje's ONE! How did that happen?!

Silje still gags on food that has much texture at all. So I made her strawberry mousse for her birthday instead of a cake. She wasn't particularly impressed. She had one bite and that was enough (it did taste a lot like strawberry whipped cream). But she did have some fun playing with it.
