The Talented Mr. Canton

Canton had the talent show tonight! The first couple jokes were not as smooth as the practice because the teacher/M.C. actually said his exact jokes while waiting for some technical difficulties with another act. GRRRRRRRR. But, he recovered pretty well! πŸ™‚ Cute (and surprise ending)–“Thanks for listening, Don’t forget to tip your waitress!” What a jokester! πŸ™‚

Talent Show Practice

Canton auditioned and was chosen to participate in the talent show on 2/9/15. This clip is from the practice they held today (2/5).

He was nervous about staying after school being one of only two K students, but he did a super job once he knew I was not leaving him there! πŸ™‚ He definitely stood out among the dancers, recorder players, and pitchy Frozen/Taylor Swift songs πŸ˜‰

Liberty is 19 Months!

19 months we have had our sweet girl! She continues to grow and change each day.

She’s up to 6 whole teeth and one 1/2 tooth. She has 4.5 on the bottom and her two top.

She continues to do great with the potty, it will still be a bit until overnight, but we are just thrilled with our undies wearing girl! πŸ™‚

Although she still loves outside, sadly that doesn’t happen much in January in VA. So, for inside activities, Liberty really enjoys reading and playing in her kitchen. She loves to sing ABCs and the Itsy Bitsy spider.

She still doesn’t have too many words but she understands so much! She can follow two and three step directions like a pro! We just say that Canton does all the talking for her. But, we seriously cannot WAIT until she starts talking!

Also this month, she is no longer in the crib but a toddler bed! She loves that she can get into her bed all by herself and does really well at staying there, much to our surprise! I’ve caught this girl climbing and planning an escape route way too many times!

Height: 25lbs
