The girls are trying to say a few words, definitely not Mommy, and occasionally Daddy, mostly "Gog"=Dog or Jeorgie, "Ca or Ga"=car, and the all time classic..."Ba"=Ball! I can feel it, they are at the edge and ready to dive head first into talking, and if they are more like me than Doug we are all in some serious trouble!
I have a new signing video that we have started to watch and they really seem to like the signs in this one. "Hat" is their favorite, and they get it right everytime, and mostly just really like when we are so proud of them and the get lots of "good girls" from us, so I guess it's the reaction that they love! For some reason they aren't catching on to "please", "thank you", and "sorry". Hmmm, I hope that isn't a warning of some sort?!
Both girls are happy kids, and funny in their own ways. Isabel is a little sassy girl, she loves to cross her arms, and roll her eyes, although some times she doesn't even know why she is doing it. She'll strut through a room, swinging her arm with attitude, and is already pretty good at the could shoulder. I make her sound angry, but she isn't, she just has attitude! At 18 months old it is cute, hopefully she outgrows it before it isn't! She is also our energetic explorer. She is the first to try everything! Her most recent accomplishment is being able to climb up on chairs and couches all by herself. She is not scared at all and loves to jump and move around on top of furniture as if she can't fall.
Lexi is way more cautious! She is very timid and doesn't like to try too many things on her own. Eventually after seeing Isabel do something for a while she will get around to trying it, but for the most part she is content letting us lift her onto the couch or a chair, and has no problem letting us do things for her. She likes to be served, and catered to. :) Lexi has a little bit of a mean streak in her when she get's upset or can't have something from Isabel. Twice this past week she has scratched Izzy's face on purpose! So I see a little refereeing in our near future!
Mostly they are great toddlers, who play together very well, and make me smile even on the hard days. We are all very much looking forward to spring, and getting outside. We just need to find the closest park! We went for a wagon ride around the new neighborhood the other day, and did a little exploring down a path in the woods that surround our house, but there is more to see and lots of fun adventures ahead of us this year.
I hope to update pictures soon, check the link later this week. I will try to get through Feb loaded by then.
