March 23rd - Ocean is 11 months tomorrow!!!

So much every day, I feel guilty for not jotting down more.  Sometimes I post it on Facebook but not here.  Well, Koral talks more and more.  It's very awesome.  I have gone from "Mom" to "Mama" to "Mommy" in the last few weeks and she practices wording she hears other kids say.  This week, she started saying "Thank you" when I give her things she likes, but will look expectantly at me for the "Your welcome" to follow.  For a while, I didn't know what her "Thansku" was and I would say "what?" and then eventually move on, but when I said "Thank you?" and she lit up all happy and said "Uh huh!" I said "ooooh, your welcome!" and now it's a thing we do often.

Ocean started walking, slow at first, but now he gets up the speed to a drunken run and sometimes tips over a bit.  He's very much involved with his surroundings now, trying to feed me when I feed him, and yesterday, he took the tissue from me and wiped my nose!  He loves these things and finds it super funny.  He also likes songs and dancing, and man, loves his big gathering drum.  He will get up and stand on it and then scream about it and squat down and bang on it, and if it's upside down, put things in it and slide it around the floor or sit in it.  I guess I should plan something for his birthday - it's in one month!  Yay!!

#FunDailyCalendar continues, and while it takes some time every day, I still have hope that a following will eventually come and maybe will be worth continuing.  Tweaking as I go along.

We have all been taking turns with this round of sickness lately, and right now I'm not sick, Ocean is mostly over it, Koral has lost her voice and coughing, and Senthil is a bit sick, too.  It's not fun and I hope this is the last big sickness of the year.  It's spring officially now!
