Can I get an Amen that we have not been to the doctor a single
time between then and now? What an awesome change from the Fall/Winter when we
were there several times a month.
The babies are toddlers, which is hard for me to wrap my
head around. Until they do something very ‘toddler-ish’ and I am reminded that
they are reaaaaally learning how to test their boundaries right now.
Like when Keegan tries to go into our room, which is off
limits. He will touch the door with one finger. Then turn and look at me. When
I say no, he will reach his finger back out reaaaaaaally slowly to try to do it
again, and then look back and smirk. And I usually smirk right back. He’s a
ham.
Noelle is a sponge, soaking up everything we say and do. And
she is still very much a mama’s girl. She loves when she accomplishes
something; and will do it over and over again.
We’ve had a busy month so far!
Samantha and Travis’s wedding in Austin, a work trip to Houston for me, a work
trip to San Antonio for Justin, a visit from Netta, BBQs with friends, a new classroom, and therefore a new nap
schedule for the babies, and lots of go, go, go in between.
We have a slow week and then a fun weekend! It’s the second Dallas TwINSTAGRAM meet-up on Saturday. If you don’t know, I met my very bestest group of twin mama friends on Instagram last year. We can’t wait to meet more local twin mamas and let the littles play.
Ok, here’s what's new. Or what I can brain dump in my 20 minutes of silence this morning:
Keegan
Words; Mama, Dada, Ball, Bird, More,
Deer, Book, Milk
Some fun actions; Where’s the
bird? Points outside. Where’s the deer? Points to the wall (where our deer head
and antlers hang…). Signs ‘more,’ When I say bath time, he BOLTS down the
hallway to the bathroom. When I say ‘get in your seat,’ he goes right to his
dinner chair. When I say bring me something (book, cow, brush, etc) he follows
direction. Waves hi and bye, brushes his hair with a brush, brushes his teeth
with his toothbrush, tries to put his shoes on. Can put large pieces of puzzles
into matching spots, throws the ball FAR! Stacks blocks and knocks them down.
New animals noises; Recognizes
and will bring me several different types of animals. Does moo for cow and woof
for puppy.
Favorite things; Food, playing
outside, Balls, bath time, laughing, playing chase
Least favorite things; Teething
Noelle
Words; Mama, Dada, Ball, Bird,
Deer, Car, Bebe, Book, Milk
Some fun actions; Where’s the
bird? Points outside. Where’s the deer? Points to the wall (where our deer head
and antlers hang…), waves hi and bye, follows direction to get in her seat, go to the bath, points out everything she sees and tries
to explain to you what it is J,
brings me her hat/sunglasses/bows/shoes to put on and gets really upset if any
of the above fall off, waves hi and bye (she has to say hi to the fish at
school every day), puts puzzle pieces in their matching spots, likes to move
things back and forth; like puts her baby in the car, then a bowl, then the
car, then the bowl. Brushes her teeth and hair, acts shy to be silly and make
you laugh, a bit dramatic at times… but what girl isn’t?
New animal noises; Recognizes and
will bring me several types of animals. Does moo for cow, Cak Cak for duck,
woof for puppy, roar for dino. I know, we're starting with a random assortment of animals haha.
Favorite things; Her bebes,
her fisher price volkswagon, playing outside, books, wearing accessories, giving kisses
Least favorite things; Diaper
