It is amazing to John and I that the babies are already 20 months old! They are changing every day and seem to be learning new things every minute We have been working with sign language with them since they were 7 months and it has helped out tremendously when it comes to communicating. They can come up to us and ask for things like a cracker, milk, juice, or to tell us they want to go to sleep. They are all very steady walkers and runners and now have mastered climbing up AND down the stairs. It has sure been a blessing on my back! They are also all eating with spoons and forks and for the most part, do pretty well. . Here is a quick update on each of the kiddos:
Emmerson: She is quite the talker! She says "Mama, Dada, ball, cat, dog, cracker, please, more, up, down, go, hat, shoes, all done, eat..." She is at the stage where she will repeat just about any sound or word you say, so her vocabulary is growing fast. Emmi loves to read books! Anytime we are down on the floor playing with them, she brings over a book to read, and with her head tilted just so, she says "peass". She is a BIG fan of Elmo right now. John and I are thinking of taking her (and maybe the boys too) to see Elmo Live in May. We’re not sure how well she will be able to see the stage and that will make all the difference in her attention span! Emmerson is very attached to her two “doggies” from Build-A-Bear. They were actually a gift for the boys, but Emmi loved them so much that the boys let her have them. She carries them all over the house by their Cubs t-shirts that they wear. It is a very cute scene! We feel so blessed to be parents to this wonderful little girl.
Brody: He is such an active little boy! There is nothing that he can’t seem to find a way into, on top of, or under. Brody is our little explorer! He loves to play “tag” with Daddy around the back of the couch. He really has a silly side to him. He LOVES to be tickeled! He will walk up to you with a look like “aren’t you going to get me…” and then when you start to tickle him, he lets out the sweetest giggle. It makes it hard to stop! Brody has really been talking more these days too. Although he still signs more than he talks, he now will say “mama, dada, dog, uhhoh, and bubbles” Brody has a great throwing arm already. He was playing catch with John and I the other day and we were both so amazed at how accurate and strong his throws were. Hmmm….maybe a future Cubs pitcher? We are so amazed by Brody every day!
Logan: What a character this little boy is! He is such the social butterfly and when someone is watching, and he is in the right mood, there will definitely be something to see! Logan has great facial expressions that make us laugh daily. I think he gets his humor from his Daddy. Logan seems to be fearless so far, which makes for a fun time in the store. He will wander away and as John and I stand there watching him to see if he even looks back, he speeds up and heads off down and isle. We keep an extra close eye on that little guy! Logan is still such a sweet boy. He will come up and give me a kiss or hug throughout the day while he is playing. Just a quick kiss to say “love you Mama” and then he’s off again. I treasure those sweet moments daily!
We are getting ready for our first International travel at the end of March. John, myself and the babies are heading to Jamaica! We just got their passports in and boy are they cute. We are really excited and can’t wait to get away to somewhere warm for a while. Hopefully we will have some cute pictures to post when we get back!
