Now that I have this handy dandy laptop, I'm going to try yet again to blog on a regular basis. It's been a while, so here's what we're up to these days:
Becca: The big news here is WE'RE POTTY TRAINING!!! She is doing so well with it she spends most days in panties and is getting more stickers every day. Becca is really into projects and especially loves to glue and paint. She keeps the bathroom door decorated with a revolving door of projects. She's got the ABCs down and is starting to recognize letters and numbers on their own. Another exciting development is that she wants to learn to read so I've made her some word cards and she can pretty consistently read Mommy, Daddy, and all siblings' names. Becca adores dancing and loves to put her pretty dress on for ballet in the living room. I'm looking forward to getting her started in a school setting - she's SO incredibly social she makes friends in under 30 seconds whenever we go to the playspace and I think she would thrive at school.
Caiden: Caiden just started speaking this week and the surprising part is he started speaking with full sentences! His favorite is, "I need a bubba!!!" He's also thrown out there, "I dropped my BooBoo" (one of his favorite books), "Mama I poop" and "What Becca do?". He's speaking more and more single words every day too and can now say duck, Apollo (the kitty), diaper, apple, stop, mine, window and book. He's a pretty physical little guy and we're working on the biting and headbutting, but I'm told boys will be boys. He loves to wrestle and roar and especially loves hide and seek. There's a particular corner of the room he KNOWS he disappears when he goes into and it's so cute to see him grinning to himself and wiggling while he's "gone".
The two of them definitely love each other and I consider myself lucky that we have more snuggles, kisses and professions of love than the inevitable kicking, biting, wrestling and hollering.
Now that you're all caught up, I'll try to get some new pictures up here!
