Erik- Getting Big!

Our little Erik isn't so little anymore!  Now, I know he is small for a 4 1/2 yr. old, but compared to what we've been used to, the boy is HUGE!  lol  He weighs about 25 lbs. now and is wearing clothing sizes 18-24 mos.  He's come a long way from being so small he couldn't even wear clothes until he was 2 mos. old, and even then, the smallest preemie outfits were still huge on him.  Now he gets to wear stuff that looks like it's more for a big boy.  Erik also hates wearing shoes and socks.  The other day I took him to church with me because we were having "Old Fashioned Sunday".  Erik had shoes on and was fine for the beginning of church.  Suddenly he started whining and getting frustrated.  Erik doesn't talk, so I couldn't figure out what was wrong.  I finally called my brother who told me to take off Erik's shoes and socks.  Sure enough, within 2 minutes of taking his shoes off, Erik stopped his fussing.  Silly boy!  Also, Erik now lives much closer to me and my mom.  In fact, they used to live 42 miles away, and now they live only a mile away.  It's so nice getting to see my nephews more often. Well, that's a brief update for now.  Erik is doing well and is still attending an amazing preschool.  He's thriving and we are so glad he is here!
