It seems like overnight, Fletcher turned into a little boy. He's feeding himself, he's got an expanding vocabulary, he understands most of we say or ask of him, he understands that "no" really does mean "no," and he knows that consistent comfort and reassurance comes from Mommy and Daddy.

These days we aren't surprised if we find a calculator in the refrigarator, we hear a noise from the computer in Daddy's office or hear the basement door slam or hear the alarm chime as one of exterior doors opens or see a light flickering on and off cuz that's our little guy exploring his world and his new abilitites.

Not only is Fletcher developing, he's also still growing. He's thinning out, but he's getting taller -- we hope he will be able to get through winter in his 2T clothes -- things are starting to get short and tight...
