Theo can make his top work!

Theo got an old-fashioned, metal top from his Grandpa (Andy's dad) for Christmas. He loved it from the start and would ask us to spin it for him all the time. Earlier this week, he figured out how to make it work all on his own. He is so proud of himself and pretty much plays with it non-stop in the evenings.

Since Penelope was born, it's been even more exciting to see Theo learning new things and perfecting his skills (ex: eating with a spoon, talking, and walking by himself to the car to get in his seat). I didn't believe anyone when they said he would seem instantly grown up to me once the baby was born. They were right. He wore slacks and outdoor shoes (he usually wears sweatpants and soft-soled shoes) today and he looked nearly 3-years old. While nursing his sister, it's hard not to lament that my little boy is growing up and changing so fast.

I'm sure I'll say the very same things about her in just a few months.
