11 Months

Our internet is working again! It was out for two weeks. So now to catch up in posts.

Silas is 11 1/2 months old. His 11 month stats were:

Length: 29 1/2 inches

Weight: 18 lbs 10 oz. (the 7th percentile!)

You would think we don't feed this kid but sometimes he eats as much as I do!

Eating Spaghetti Casserole! He loves this stuff, it is so nice that he can eat just about everything we do. We let him try fish for the first time yesterday, he really liked it, although I think he was a bit confused by the name... its the same as those cute animals he loves so much!

Walking around with Esther, one of the older girls on campus. She just adores Silas.

Grandpa and Grandma Bratsch came to visit last week. Silas had a great time with them and was just starting to get comfortable again when it was time for them to go home.

Grandpa and Grandma Bratsch took us to the Aquarium. Silas loved it! He really enjoyed all the fish, turtles, and birds.

He is pointing at a duck that kept diving under water.

He wanted to get in the tank with it!

The Duck

Silas loves books. He sits and reads all the time and always wants us to read him his stories.

Isaiah just turned 1. We had a lot of fun at his birthday party!

Happy Birthday Isaiah!

Aren't boxes great:

Silas got a new train from Grandma Sara for his birthday! He loves it, thanks Grandma.

Isaiah came over to play, Silas was showing him all the fun things to do at our house.

Such as playing with his new train...

and emptying the kitchen cupboards!

So that is it for now, we can't wait to see some of you this weekend when we come back to Wisconsin!

Our internet is down, except for a really slow connection we can pick up. There was a huge storm and I think lightning struck something here on campus. I will update as soon as we get an internet connection again!

Silas took his first steps today! He took about 10 steps before losing his balance... and then he did it again and again. We are so excited. Watch the video to see!

Second Hair Cut... First Word?!

We gave Silas a hair cut a couple days after we got home from vacation. It turned out a little shorter than I thought it would but isn't he cute?

Is that Silas on his TUMMY???

We made a ball pit out of Silas' pool, he loved it!

I think he looks so much like my dad "Grandpa Dan" in this picture.

Swimming with Isaiah. Silas was a little bit of a bully and almost pulled Isaiah over, haha.

A little blurry but so cute!

Silas was invited to his first birthday party. It was at a gym where they had tons of BALLS.... some where even bigger than Silas, he had a blast.

He even sat away from me to listen to a story with puppets, this was huge!

Silas has been putting things into containers and taking them out a lot lately. He also just recently learned to stack blocks on top of eachother to make a little tower. Today he tried to stack two balls... it didn't work so well.
