Just a few updates from the Royal Oak clan...
Derek started skateboarding again. In the 18 months since his accident, a new indoor skate park opened in Royal Oak. The vert ramp isn't a high as the one he was skating on before, but Derek said he's going to "start out slow." It's great because if you get A's and B's on your report card, you can skate for free. they have "Fossil Night" for skaters 20 and older, AND they have a room for birthday parties!!!! Guess where we're celebrating Derek's 40th next year!
We checked out the new outdoor skate park in Farmington over the weekend. Mikey got dressed in his skating gear and Derek pushed him around on his skateboard.
Mikey's potty training went well for a couple weeks, then he was done. He started up again, letting us know when he needs to go, instead of running around without a diaper on. He'll sit on the toilet and say "here it comes" a couple minutes before he goes. He's also obsessed with flushing the toilet and will wake up in the middle of the night, flush the toilet, then run back to bed. The kid is hilarious.
This is Mikey's latest past time... gross huh? Please tell me your kids went through this phase too...
Katie's 1/2 birthday is today! The last 6 months went by way too fast. (It almost makes me want to have another one... Derek says I can - with my next husband. Haha) She's 14 lbs 1 oz and 25 1/2 inches long. Her physical therapy ends next week. Her stiff neck is gone and she doesn't favor one side over the other anymore. No helmet will be needed, even though her heads still a little mis-shapen. We're hoping her head will round out with time. She's rolling more now and is trying really hard to sit by herself.
Katie's eating solids now. It must take a lot out of her. Here she is yesterday after eating some pears.
I made here some butternut squash the other day. She really likes it :) The snap peas are from our garden. Thanks for the seeds, Ken!
She's got those "Stoffers Cheeks."
