Ronin is 21 months old!
Ronin was invited to a birthday party on Sunday. He had an amazing time! First he played with all the toys in their living room and then he went outside – ran around on their deck and then climbed on all the lawn chairs. Then he found a ball and ran all over their yard chasing the dog and throwing the ball. Lots of people seemed to get a real kick out him and he was BY FAR the most sociable. When he walks into a room and sees people he smiles easily. This is not a shy child! He then walks over to each person waves and says HI! I offered him some chicken which he took a bite of and then threw on the floor. Subtlety is not his strong point.
When the entertainer gathered all the children for songs and games – Ronin wasn’t interested in sitting on anyone’s lap. He placed himself in the center of the circle. He cheered and clapped and danced to the music. He was the only one who would dance and clap. He really seemed to think the whole party was about him. But he is so damn cute – no one seems to mind. When they sang “Old McDonald” and the leader said cow – Ronin looked at me and I said, “What does a cow say?” and Ronin exclaimed “MOO!” and then applauded for himself. Same thing happened with sheep and Ronin said “BA!” When they brought out a big book Ronin exclaimed “BOOK” and when he was done listening Sean and I had to tell him that the bubbles were coming and Ronin yelled “Bubbles!” He was exceedingly verbal and Sean and I were thrilled. Then the entertainers sang a song about a lion in the jungle and Ronin would say “RARR” at every opportune or not moment.
When he got a little bored he started doing summersaults in the middle of the room. They brought out a parachute – which Ronin loved – and a little mosh-pit of toddlers soon overtook the room!
Ronin was so happy to be there and he had such a great time. Sean and I really enjoyed ourselves!
Onto the sequel … she is measuring a little over 4-1/2 lbs and is between 55-60% in size. She has my chin and my cheeks! She is currently head-down but moving nonstop. My BP is good at 120/74 and I gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks but she gained a pound herself – so I only netted one pound! 6 weeks to go until she is here!
