Hello everyone! We hope everyone is finding a way to stay warm during this cold winter! We have had some warm days, but this past week was a little on the cold side for us Southerners down here in Atlanta! Sully misses the park, but we have started some new activities. Sullivan is now taking some swim lessons--surprise, surprise that we want him to learn to swim!! haha He is actually quite advanced in his class. He has already learned how to hold on to the wall all by himself without my support and climb out of the pool without my help. Some days, though, I have to give his hiney a little push while he is getting out--his belly can be awfully big some days! hahaha Sullivan has also learned how to blow bubbles and he even floated on his back this week for about 5 seconds all on his own! Watch out Olympics of 2020! hahaha I am going to try and get some pictures and/or videos of his swimming to share with you all to enjoy!
Sully is really starting to imitate what we do and say. He is starting to say a lot more words, like cheese, dog, cat, juice, duck, Daddy, Jack, etc. For right now, though, his favorite way to communicate with us is still through sign language. He is getting so good at his signs and probably knows between 30-40 words through sign. We learn a new sign almost everyday. He picks them up so fast now. It is so fun!
Last weekend, Sully spent the night at Grancie and Gramps while Brett and I enjoyed a late night out with some friends. Apparently, he and Patches became big buddies. Here is an adorable picture of them.
Malley and Sully have really started enjoying playing with each other lately. They chase each other around the house and laugh. It is the sweetest to watch. For so long they would just parallel play, but now, they are starting to interact with eachother. We are working on sharing a lot---they, of course, always want to play with the same toys. Here is a cute picture of the two of them playing at playgroup.
For those of you who have not seen any videos of Sully, I am attaching the website where you can go to see videos of Sully. There are video updates of Sully starting around his first birthday up until now. If you have the urge to see a Sully in action, go check them out.
