So most of you know the reason for the long absence from the blog and some do not. On November 29th my mom passed away after battling illness for a couple of months. She will be dearly missed by our family. She was a very loving woman and cherished the time she got to spend with her kids and grandkids. While I'm very sad that my boys will not grow up knowing her personally, I am very thankful that she was able to meet them before she went home to heaven. Thank you to all my friends and family that have been so helpful and supportive through all of this.
Since it has been such a long time since I posted an update there have been tons happening with the boys. Eric is still very active and now is EXTREMELY independent. Everything is "I do it all by myself" or if he asks what something is and you tell him he says "No it's a..." and will argue with you until he is blue in the face! Drives me bananas but cracks me up at the same time. :) Eric also had his first night away from us a couple of weeks ago. He stayed with some friends of ours and had a blast. I was worried how he would do but apparently he didn't really miss us that much. He slept well and played hard which is nice to know. He is now all geared up for our trip to California that is coming up. He can't wait to see Grandpa Dale, Aunt Risa, Omi & Oti and of course Santa as well. I'm looking forward to seeing how he reacts when Santa walks in on Christmas Eve...I'll definitely have my camera ready for that one! :)
As for Tyler he is just getting too big! He is almost 10 months old now and is all over. Not only does he speed crawl everywhere he is also cruising holding on to the furniture. I foresee his first steps within another month or so. As it is now I never get anything accomplished because I'm always chasing after him, I can just see what it will be like when he can walk! :) He is saying "dada", "mama", "baba", and "clap". Well...his version of clap but it definitely means clap because he says it every time we tell him to clap. He is also giving us high fives already which is really cute. He gets really excited when he does it. He had his check up today and weighed 19lbs exactly and was 28 1/2 inches tall...so he is taller than Eric was but weighs less than he did at this point. One of my favorite things he does is when we are eating in the living room he stands up by the ottoman and will babble and scream until you give him some of what you are eating. He thinks if you are eating then he must be eating as well. Maybe I'll have one good eater between the two boys. :)
That is all the news from the Lemmon house for now. We will update more after we get back from our trip. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!
