Today was a big day for both of our children....James FINALLY said Da-Da (exactly 2 months after he said Mama I might add) and Grafton went to her first movie!! I will begin with James- he loves saying Mama and does so constantly! I love it of course but was starting to get a tad worried that he was never going to make the "d" sound! However, today was the turning point for our little man...he has said Da-Da many, many times today and has even said "gl" and "l" a lot- which makes me a very relieved Mama! I finally feel like that tongue surgery was worth it last month since he is now making more sounds with his tongue. Yay for James! I also feel like I need to update his mobility status....he now pulls up on EVERYTHING to stand and even takes steps from side to side to get where he wants to go (while holding on). The downside....when he wakes up in the middle of the night he immediately stands up and walks back and forth fussing!
Now for Grafton- I have been sooooo excited about taking Grafton to see her first movie at the theaters. Today Eric and I took her to see Winnie the Pooh and let her have the best experience she could have. She was very excited to watch a movie on a "giant TV" as she called it and was even more excited to get candy and popcorn. So we did it right- we got her popcorn, starburst that she picked out, and a strawberry slush! I feel compelled to say that she only at one little handful of popcorn, 1 1/2 starbursts, and one sip of the slush! Haha- but she was happy and that is all that mattered. She watched the whole movie and when it was over she said "That was fuuuuun...let's do it again!" It was a special time with Grafton, and we loved making the fun memory.
