By request...

After Christmas we all enjoyed the new snow. It took Talmage a while to warm up to the snow. He was pretty scared of it at first. We put him his alaska snow suit. As you can see, it almost triples his size. Mostly, I just wanted you to see how puffy he is in the snow suit.

Good News!

Truston got another medical school interview. This interview is with New York Medical College, outside of NYC. We are so excited!!!
I keep asking him what he wants for Christmas and the only thing he says is, "Med school interviews", which I totally cannot deliver. However, it appears that subconciously, I can, and will.
HAH! The underlining came off, I couldn't figure out how to turn it off.
Anyways, we are excited about both interviews, Indiana University and NYMC...hopefully Santa will send more!

The Scream

Another commonality when Talmage is throwing something.
Do you think he could become a shot-putter?
Recently, Talmage has started picking up things and carrying them around the house. Most of the time he is just carrying a book around, waiting for you to read it. But some of the time, it is a favorite playthings- like wet-wipes. The best part is all the groaning with accompanied heavy breathing, who does he think he is? Hercules? Venus Williams? Don't mind the half-dressed-socks-are-almost-off look. If you ever happen to drop by between dinner and bedtime, this is usually what he looks like.

small victory, cont.

As a side note, a friend told us one day that Talmage's toes were seriously inflammed and that we should get them checked out. HAH.

A Small Victory

As you can see, Talmage has SUPER fat feet. Now that he is one, winter is coming and he walks, I could see the time had come. The time to find shoes.
It was a struggle, I can't tell you how many shoes we tried on... and nothing fit him. Most of the time, I can't get all 5 toes in the shoe...much less his fat foot. Well, today I decided I was going to try one last time and if I couldn't find shoes I would just have to bite the bullet and buy a pair of pedipeds on line. (One of his little friends at church had them and they fit Talmage, but they're pretty expensive).
Well today was the day. I found a pair of shoes that fit!! They're little boots, but the tongue of the shoe opens all the way down to the toe, so they are very expandable. Hallelujiah! Another small victory.
