moore.love.than.ever: Celebrating two birthdays

This past Sunday we celebrated TWO birthdays! Our first birthday party was for Jimmy's 2nd. Jimmy's Daddy works with Kevin and they actually share the same birthday (9/16). The party was at the grandparents house and it was the perfect place for a party. The outdoor area at their house is just beautiful.
Our second birthday celebration was for Kevin. We had a family dinner at Mom's to celebrate. Last year I had a big surprise party for him (it was his 40th) so this year was lacking in fanfare (sorry honey) :)

The kids are doing great - still loving school. I hate to compare my 2 kids to one another so I asked at school this morning if Jackson's speech was behind or comparable with the other kids and if Isabel was with the other kids or advanced for her age. I got good news- Jackson is right where the other kids are and Isabel, I was told, is "exceptional". So I'm a proud Mommy today. Jackson has shown signs of interest in counting and numbers but not so much in the alphabet whereas Isabel can say her ABC's much better than she counts. She also loves to sing. Her favorite song to sing is "Twinkle, Twinkle little star". She sounds like an angel. Last night I heard her say, "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday". She also like to watch dvd's more than Jackson so I think that may be helping with her speech. Jackson had much rather play with trains than watch Dora.
We also are trying Jackson out on egg again. We've let him have birthday cake and cookies, even a couple of bites of Isabel's scrambled egg. He is itching a little bit but not the horrible rash we are used to seeing so maybe it will be gone completely very soon. The allergy Dr said to periodically try testing his allergies and with egg being the hardest to avoid I'm hoping!!!!
