23 Months!!

Can you believe they are 23 months old!

B is really talking up a storm. He's putting 2 words together now. His main phrase is "ice cube" because ice cubes are very exciting to him. But yesterday he was trying to tattle on S, and he said "S eat". (S was chewing on the wipes they got into while we weren't watching.) And yesterday they had Mother's Morning Out. So husband asked B what did he do at church, and he started clapping his hands and pointing to his face (they sing "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" and when it says "your face will surely show it" they point to their faces). How amazing he can communicate so much!!

S is pretty wonderful too. He has become quite social. He will say "hey" and wave to anyone, including people sitting beside us in traffic. S has also become attached to his lion, which is his semi-stuffed (only the head is stuffed, body is just limp fabric) night-night toy. Yesterday lion had to go with us to church. They got these little wooden train cars that are magnetic in their Easter baskets. S lines them up on the window sill and likes to play with them.

And they are sleeping later. This is extremely exciting for me, because S used to stroll in our room at 5:30am. Husband figured out if S has his pacifier in the mornings, he won't wake up as early. So every morning when he wakes, Husband goes into their room and puts S's paci in his mouth. It will be a sad day when the paci has to go bye-bye.

Here are some recent pictures:

These first two are of their snack on Friday. A chocolate chip cookie. You see, I am a mean mommy who doesn't let her children eat such things. But we decided once in a while wouldn't hurt them. And how they enjoyed it! These with their hats on: they've recently discovered how to put their hats on backwards, and think it's really funny.
