Edison's 18 month appointment

Edison was scheduled for 5 shots at his 18 month appointment. Appearantly we missed the 15 month "immunization only" appointment. But we spaced them out where he got 3 now, and three in another month. Needless to say, he was not a fan.

As you can see he is a growing boy, I wonder where he gets that height? The doc says he looks great, walking, talking, signing. No signs of autism or any such behavioral diagnoses. So we are pretty happy.

Although we did discover he has outgrown his car seat. :-(

Edison's New Word

Edison learned a new word today - "No". Though he primarily uses it in relation to his sister. To commemorate, I though I would list all the other words he knows and uses more often (at least all the ones I can think of). Momma, Dad, Edy, banana, bye bye, ginky (his word for binky/pacifier), bottle, apple, eat, hungry, all done and more (signs), poop, gorilla, dog, kitty cat, balloon, ball, guitar, help, bacon, and pancake. I'm sure there are more. I'll try to post when there is a new crop.

At the Market

He kids got heir hair cut yesterday in preparation for family portraits today. We went to Pike Place Market. Once we were done, Edison was the man about the market. Running up and down, buying fruit, stopping with Mom to watch he street buskers.

Edy Haircut

Edy got her hair cut for the first time in about 2 years, I think. Just evened it out, kept it pretty long. She gets to watch TV while she gets her hair cut - so it is a real treat for her. Edison also got his hair cut for the first time EVER. Mom was nervous, and she took all the pictures. I'll try to get her to post some.

Playing in Edison's Bed

Edy got into Edison's crib and the two started jumping up and down and playing with stuffys. After a little while they calmed down and Edy pretended to go to sleep. Edison likes to do the same - for a very short period of time. I they were in his loss for about 4 seconds, but I had the camera at the ready.

Halloween

Edy and I went to a friends house for group trick-or-treating. Here are some pics. Edy was a mermaid - "Mermaid Seastar Princess" I believe was her full title. I went as iDad - a clever play on modern technology that I found amusing, but was not worth the hours I put I got the costume. Edy got quite a lot of candy, saying her arm was too tired to carry her bucket of candy home at the end of the evening. I told her if she didn't carry the bucket, she wouldn't get to eat the candy. She managed.

Zoo Again

This time it was the three of us at the zoo. Edy really likes to ride the historic carousel they have there. Edison, not so much.

Father and Son

A couple Fridays ago, I took an afternoon off and Edison and I went to the zoo. It was a little chilly. This was the end of the trip a the flamingos.

Lots to Post

Going to play a little catch up here. This one was taken by Mom, I don't know where, but it is so cute I had to post it. It is Edy with her BFF.
