The Bratsch Family: 2008

07 August 2008

Summertime and the Living's Easy (at least for Silas)

We moved to our new first-floor apartment (no more stairs!) Silas was a big help as you can see.

Silas' new skill: climbing up and going down the slide all by himself!

Silas loves to tell people that he is now sleeping in his Big Boy Bed! He would also want you to know that it has a dump truck, a bulldozer, and a concrete mixer on it. He has done a great job transitioning to his new bed. He only slept on the floor once!

We had a visit from a superhero recently! This is Super Silas and his sidekick Danger Doggy!

Even Superheroes get tired!

Family day at the park!

This is the skill that Silas is most proud of: hanging from the bar at the top of the slide!

After the park, we stopped by Papa John's to see where Paul works. Silas got a small pizza box and delivers his toy pizza to Mommy and Daddy. He always asks, "Where's my tip?!"

Hopped up on sugar at our neighborhood block party!

This kid is obsessed with fire trucks and police cars!

Pregnancy Update:

We're two weeks from full term and everything is going well. We've got the car seat installed and we're packing the suitcase today!

A Long Awaited Update

16 Months:
Recently Silas has started to get really interested in the toilet so we went out and bought him some underwear and a potty chair. He is still a little nervous about it but he really enjoys sitting on his "potty".

Silas took a big spill outside on the sidewalk.

17 Months:

Silas got pink eye... his eyes were so swollen and goopy. They were glued shut 2 mornings before we got him on medicine. His first time with the medicine he fought and fought, by the end of the 5th day he was begging for more.

Silas started to get really picky with his eating recently. All he would eat were Cheerios in milk. Here he is telling me what he thinks about the meatballs I offered him.
