Lyra is gorgeous! I love seeing her photos! Clara is the same about animals!

Baby M sounds like he is doing what he should be at 17 months! Being awesome! I would have liked to have kept breastfeeding Clara longer (I stopped at 13 months), but she was an aggressive nurser without teeth! She even eats solid food she likes by shoveling it into her mouth. She always nursed like she hadn't eaten in days! No can do with more than two teeth haha!

Clara is awesome, she's 22 months today! She's super sweet and loving, enjoying cuddling way more now than she ever has. She loves bows and dresses, but also likes to play in the dirt and collect rocks. She isn't hyper, but she's always on the go. She loves books, and she likes watching TV, although I limit it to about 30 minutes a day.

She talks a lot, but isn't quite at the "normal" level in her communication. She's in speech therapy, but it's mostly to teach me how to encourage her to use words to express her needs. Everyone who's worked with her says it's all attitude, she has the developmental capacity. She just doesn't want to.

I post photos so irregularly here . . . I never can remember how to do it. I'll figure it out and post some shortly.
