Death, Spelling, and Baby Steps

It has been awhile since I've posted anything. Almost a whole month! But, not much had changed besides a few new smiles and baby that gets bigger by the day =)

Logan, however, has recently been obsessed with death. I'm not sure what sparked his interest in the topic, maybe it is the recent discovery that my Dad has Hep. C and will be taking some medication that will make him really sick. But anyway, Logan asked me when I was going to die. I explained that no one knows when they are going to die. I told him that some people die when they are young and some people die when they are old, but no one knows when they are going to die. So a few days later we are driving in the car, and Logan says, "Mom, I want you to die in August." I was shocked and asked him why. He replied, "Because then I will know when you are going to die and I will be sad".

Today, after dinner, Logan again brings up the subject of death. And asks if I am going to be sad when I die. I explained to him that we believe in heaven and that after we die we get to go there and live with Jesus. I also said that I wouldn't be sad because I wouldn't have anything to be sad about. I don't think he liked this answer, and keeps insisting that he will be sad when he dies, because he will want to "come back down" and because " I will miss my sister!"

Logan also is obsessed with letters. His favorite show right now is "Super Why". It's a cartoon on KPBS that teaches letters, sounds, and reading with cute little characters that turn into "super hero" readers and spellers. These characters usually have some problem they are trying to solve and they go into a book to learn how to solve the problem.... which they do by finding letters that answer the question to the problem. Throughout the show, different characters use letters, sounds, and words.... its a great show!

In addition to the show, he LOVES to play with the fridge letters... he spells, makes up his own words, and even tries to figure out which letter is which and what sound they make. Drives me a little crazy from time to time, but is great at the same time.

We just got a great book that Karelle recommened on teaching kids to read. Hopefully this will help further our little scholars reading abilities!

Adelina has exciting news too! On Sunday, January 26th, 2008, one day after she turned 10 months old, Adelina officially took her first steps! Since Sunday she has taken many more steps... growing a little more confident in her new ability... like today she walked all the way from the hall closet in out living room to thr couch... about 8 or 9 little baby steps.... and she made it all the way without falling down!

Sorry about the quality of the video.... the pictures I have so far are only thumbnails =) But I thought it was fun anyways! Enjoy....

Sibiski Family 2007

2007 is at its end, but it has been an eventful year for the Sibiski Family. We started off the year with a trip to Hawaii… relaxing is the best way to start a new year, especially when you are seven months pregnant and ready to pop!

Adelina Mae was born on March 25, 2007 at 12:23pm, seven days after her due date! She was 8lbs 5 oz, 20 inches long with lots of dark hair.

Shortly after Adelina was born, we celebrated Steve’s 34th birthday! Wasn’t much of a celebration with the new baby in town. But I think he got the best birthday present ever!

In May, I graduated from California State University, San Marcos with my Master’s Degree in Psychology. Shortly after, I took a trip to Vancouver, B.C. with Adelina. The trip was great! Getting the passport? Not so great! Vancouver was beautiful, at least what I saw of it (and that wasn’t much). I also started a new job! I work as a Project Manger for a Research/Marketing Firm named “Action Research” and I love it! Research, research, research...

In June/July we were surprised to learn that our family would be expanding (again)! The new baby is due April 18th, 2008! We are going to be surprised by the sex of the baby… after all, we already have one of each!

I celebrated my 28th birthday in October. Wasn’t much of a celebration though, mostly watching football ALL day!

Logan turned 4 on the 23rd of October. He is growing up faster than I thought possible! He is such a blessing to us, although some of the time he is a big pain in the butt (or as we’d like to say… a “butthead”).

So, now it’s December and the holiday season is well underway! We are all doing great and hoping for a great 2008, just like our 2007!
