Linking up with Kelly today!
I thought it'd be fun to do a Theo-Rio update as a quick takes. Wanna know what our little guy is doing now? Let's find out!
1.
When Theo first came home, he was babbling and had a few signs ("more" and "eat" are the two that I clearly remember). He's now signing up a storm and starting to string signs together into sentences. Last night, after serving the boys a bit of ice cream for dessert, he came up to me and very clearly signed "I want more ice cream." All four signs of it!
2.
He's been going to speech therapy about 3 times a week for the past couple of months, and we're seeing definite progress there, too. He's starting to babble more and has some very clear words, especially "MOM!!" haha
3.
When Theo first came home, he really struggled with the stairs in our house...and we have a lot of stairs. He can now go up and down them all by himself (and don't even think about helping him, haha). He holds onto the railing and does each stair with only one foot at a time, so not the step-feet-together movement that he was first doing.
4.
He's been in school now for approximately 3 months and is doing wonderfully. He comes home exhausted from playing hard, and tells me all about his friends at school. He gets so excited when we pull up to the building to drop him off. I'm very happy that it is such a good atmosphere for him.
5.
To give you an example about how his food likes have changed, the other day I told the boys to go get ready because I was going to treat them to Chipotle for lunch. All of a sudden, I heard a "YAYY!!!" and the thump-thump-thump of little feet running down the hallway. He'd made a beeline for his room to get socks and shoes because he was so excited about getting burritos for lunch. Considering this little boy wouldn't eat ANY Mexican spices when he first came home, he's definitely found a new favourite food.
6.
He's definitely growing. We've moved from 2T in clothing up to 3T on a regular basis, and even those are seeming a bit short on him. His little pudge of a belly is slowly disappearing, too, as he gets taller. He's looking more and more like a little boy and less like a pudgy toddler every day!
7.
He's running now. Full-throttle running. It's a little off-balanced still (we're working on that), but he's running. A lot. And keeping up with the older kiddos. :)

And an extra, for good measure! He's turning into an awesome BIG brother to Baby Girl. When he first came home, he wouldn't even go near her - it was almost like he was scared of her. Now, though? He wants to hold her, he plays with her (when I can finally post pictures and video, I will totally share him playing peek-a-boo with her, because it's adorable!), and he's the first to go running to her in her crib when she starts to wake up after a nap. He loves his baby sister!

Have a great weekend!
