Update for Elyas and November

Elyas Update:

On Thursday, Elyas and Kim were having story time when he brought her his book The Ear Book, and started saying "Tic Toc, Tic Toc".  It was so cute.  His vocabulary is starting to broaden, which we are pretty excited about.  He repeated his new words to Chris that same evening during bedtime, during which we always read him three books.  Chris was so proud and impressed.

Elyas also reached a landmark on Thursday.  He laid down next to Kim during story time, reached down and pulled the covers over himself and then held the book up for his mom to read to him.  That was the very first time he has ever covered himself.  Hooray!

On Friday Elyas started talking in full sentences, all in baby gibberish, but all the sounds he was making were new and nicely put together.  We are very excited, because we know he will be talking pretty soon.  

He now says:  Mama, mom, dada, daddy, hi, wow, tic toc, and baby.

November update:

November has not yet arrived, she is 6 days past her due date and we are hoping she comes by Valentines Day.

We have set up her change table and her bassinet and are ready for her to come.

We got a delivery of clothes from one of Kim's church friends, 8 boxes worth.  We were very excited and happy about that.  A lot of the clothes are for when November is a little older, but there are quite a few newborn clothes and we welcome them.  This however, means that Kim has a lot of sorting to do, but was told by another church friend that if she's not up to the task, that she would be willing to take the clothes and sort them out for her.  We are surrounded by good friends.
