RaRax in Box
Found Raleigh like this. The box was full of toys (and on the ground) when I left.

1 1/2 Years Old!
Raleigh is a year and a half old. This is how Raleigh is growing!!!!
Weight: 26 lb 6 oz (58%)
Height: 33" (72%)
Raleigh is quickly learning the pattern of language. Last month, he started asking us "why". We weren't sure if he knew what he was asking, but would answer anyway. Early this month he started interrupting us as we were answering and saying "bee-cuz".
He also figured out that "you're welcome" comes after "thank you". This then turned into "thank you welcome". Raleigh also says "Bless you, mommy/daddy" if we sneeze or cough. And will say, "Here, mommy/daddy" if he hands us something. He also likes the word "too".
He says a few sentences--
"I see a ___"
"Mommy, read a book" (Mommy will you read me a book?)
"(Ball/balloon/airplane) is up in the sky!"
"Mommy/Daddy sleeping/eating"
Right now, he is into music, and asks mom and dad to sing songs all the time. He can "sing" us a couple lines of his favorite songs, but misses a few words (like "out came the rain and dried up all the rain"). Usually he just requests one song after another, even if mom or dad are only a few lines into the previous one.
He can count a little and knows about half the alphabet. He loves picking out letters in words--sometimes he goes crazy when he sees an "O"--even a zero in a bar code. He knows a few other ones like "I" and "L". Can you tell we're from Houston? We don't know whether he picked this up from his alphaberry, ABC books or school, but it's pretty neat. Mom tried to teach Raleigh "S like a snake", but he doesn't seem too fond of S's. (He seems at least interested in snakes--we found a baby earth snake in the backyard a few months ago and Raleigh still points out where it was!)
He is starting to pretend and likes to play with his farm animal toys and any toy with wheels.
He is an "easy toddler" and such a joy!

Raleigh's new wheels
Raleigh got a surprise from his Mom and Dad tonight. After we saw how much he liked the neighbors' tricycle, Daddy went and bought him a Radio Flyer Steer and Stroll. He didn't scream or jump for joy when he saw it, but he smiled ear to ear and was enthralled by his ride to the point that he hardly noticed the planes, trees, lizards, and birds that he normally points out.
But he rode it so enthusiastically that he blew the engine and had to push it home.

New Toys
The whole family got new toys today. Dad got to play with his first. ...after Mom had a go...
We love that we can mow at 10 o'clock at night now if we want. It actually might be more pleasant that way in the summer, if it weren't for the mosquitos.
Raleigh gets his new toy tomorrow after school.

Breakfast Date, Take Two
The cow and pig came to breakfast again. This time they were much cleaner and came in style.

Breakfast Date
Raleigh had two friends over for breakfast this morning.
Evidently, their cleanliness was not up to Raleigh's standards--he kept saying "wipe the pig" and "wipe the moo" and cleaning them off.
What do you expect from a cow and a pig?

National Night Out
Erik's owned his house for 11 years and we finally went to a Night Out so we can find more playmates for Raleigh. Raleigh had a great time and stood in front of the band clapping for about an hour! He kept clapping, even once the band had finished their set. Then he was kind enough to help them break down their equipment. We think they have a groupie.
