These girls are growing up so fast, I wish like so many that have come before me, that I too could just slow things down a bit. The girls are crazy, and exciting, energetic and sweet, and growing like weeds! We have been without internet for a few months now, so I haven't been updating the blog like I should be. I apologize to all those far away, we miss you too!!
Our little angels are on the move, and learning like crazy. I have found myself at many moments reminding myself that "they are watching"! They are so impressionable right now I am tortured thinking I will teach them 1) to over-react to situations 2)anger or worse yet 3) to be unkind. I hope I can curb my behavior in time to show them how to be polite, kind, giving and happy toddlers! Wish me luck!
They are almost out of the 12-18 month size, but the 18-24 months sizes are just a little on the baggy side for them. So I just roll up the sleeves or pant legs, rather than trying to squeeze them into the size below! The girls love shoes; whether they are mine, Doug's or theirs, they LOVE shoes.
Their favorite things right now, are pointing to their different body parts when Mommy or Daddy say "where is your (fill in the blank)?", their favorite one is still the nose! Isabel really likes her belly button, still, and everyone elses too. She will lift up anyones shirt and stick her head underneath to try to find their bellybutton! It is embarrassing, and adorable all at once. Alexa LOVES to have someone chase her. The only real issue here is that she likes to look back over her shoulder to make sure you are still coming after her and has run into many a wall! She is a very very happy baby, loves to laugh and smile. Isabel on the other hand, is a bit more serious, and can give some looks that could kill! She is into rolling her eyes right now, but for no reason. She is onry and surly one minute and cuddly and loving the next. I wonder where she gets that hot/cold attitude?
Their favorite toys are the shape sorters, and BOOKS, they love books. Isabel would prefer if I only read to her, she can be bossy like that. Occasionally when Lexi brings me a book to read her (or for me to hold so she can turn the pages much faster than I can read what is on them), Isabel will sit or stand on it. Lexi has her moments too, but they were meant to understand eachother! Oh girls! Cause and effect, and also opposites are very fun for them too. They have a new toy that we got them for their new play room, it has a light switch that they love to turn on and off, and a window they like to open and close, and a doorbell they like to ring. It's a great toy and the girls are loving it! Next, I am hoping to get them an easel and art supplies, so we'll see.
More to come...
