Summer Silas vs. Fall Silas

Now that summer has spilled into fall I think it is time for me to reflect back over the months to how Silas has developed.  Some of these things may not seem like much, but any little thing is a huge victory for our little guy.  So, here is Summer Silas vs. Fall Silas:

*Loved sleeping in his bed vs. Sleeping only on the floor
*Ate oatmeal for breakfast almost everyday (either at breakfast or at lunch, sometimes both) vs. Will eat almost anything now at breakfast
*Could only swing with help vs. Can swing by himself
*Had no opinion to what we listened to in the car vs. Telling us that certain music he doesn't like and its just to loud or to low
*Needing help putting on pants vs. Almost always being able to put on his pants (although some times both legs get in one hole, which we then call him a Merman)
*Taking his pants off and running around saying, "Naked boy" vs. Taking his pants AND underwear off and running around saying, "Naked boy"
*Only being able to understand him 50% of the time vs. Being able to understand him 80% of the time
*Not knowing how to spell his name vs. Being able to spell his name
*Tapping every license plate in a parking lot (if we would let him) vs. Tapping only a few license plates in a parking lot
*He wore a size 7 vs. He wears a size 8 WIDE (that boys foot is almost as wide as it is long)
*Repeating us when saying, "I Love You" vs. Saying "I Love You" on his own

Our summer Silas has really grown and developed into a fabulous fall Silas.  We can't wait to see what winter Silas looks like.
