It's been amazing to see Silas' language skills constantly growing every day. He's making his own versions of sentences with two to three words in them. My new favorite happens to be when he just says "hi mommy" or "hi daddy" when we haven't left his presence for hours. He repeats it as if he finally understands the joy of greeting someone. Then, "aw vue mommy" (I love you mommy) or "aw vue daddy" out of no where pretty much makes your heart stop. These past few days he looks outside and just says, "SNOW PLEASE!" We've been able to experience snow in a whole new way this year too. It's so funny to see what an almost two year-old finds enjoyable in the fluffy white stuff versus a thirty-one year-old. Matthew couldn't wait to get on a sled. But Silas just wanted to play on the playground like any old, non-snow day. Who cares about the playground when you can do this. I think all boys just love...
The 1984 National League Championship Series was played between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs. San Diego won the series three games to two to advance to the World Series. The 1984 NLCS was the first postseason series EVER for the Padres since the franchise's beginning in 1969. Because Katie Ann Blair arrived in the world in the middle of the series, her father hence forth referred to her as Katie Cub Buster.
