October 27-December 15

Quick things, mostly about the two boys:
-A Theodore post went up, backdated to his birthday.
-Theo's last checkup -- 12 lbs 3 oz, 23.25 in
-The kids and I went to visit the Bossards at the beginning of November. Their trick-or-treating was Saturday, so we went with them.
-I have not mentioned it in a blog post, but Theodore is very spitty. I would say he's worse than Gretchen, but that could just be because he's the one currently being messy.
-If you ask Matthias what color something is, it's green.
-Theo found his hands on or around November 21.
-Matthias began potty training on November 25.
-The Bossards came here for Thanksgiving.
-We celebrated Christmas with Bryan's family this past weekend. Bryan and I alternate calling it "Grandma's Christmas" and "Present Day."
-Theodore has rolled from front to back several times. They were all on the same day, though, and he hasn't exhibited any similar talents since then.
-Theodore was a fabulous sleeper for five weeks -- from the middle of October until the end of November. At the beginning of those five weeks he would sleep from whenever he finally went down at night (usually by 9:30) until about 7. By the end of the five weeks his bedtime was pretty consistently in the 6:30-7 range. Then he broke, and he is no longer a fabulous sleeper. Sad day.
-Matthias calls his brother Feedoor John.
-Olivia has completed a round of swimming lessons. She needs to work on putting her face in the water, but has been promoted to the next level class. We currently have no plans to continue the lessons before summer arrives.
