- weighs 20 lb 12 oz. He caught up quite a bit to Kayla these past two months...which confirms my suspicion that he went through a growth spurt.
- Recognizes when an airplane is flying overhead and points to it
- is almost walking - he won't go himself, but if you encourage him to he'll go
- loves throwing toys through the baby gate and down the stairs...or through the deck spindles and onto the grass ...or through the front window and onto the grass
- learned how to play "Peek A Boo"
- will stick out his tongue if you ask him to
- loves jumping up and down in his crib (holding onto the railing). He usually spends 5-10 minutes jumping before he falls asleep
- loves the green sand shovel. You would think that it was the only shovel we own...but they have 8, I think. Thanks, Michelle, for only giving one green shovel for their birthday...this toy is a constant source of fighting and tears! :)
- LOVES blueberries. I think he ate 30 for snack today? He ate so many the other day that his poop was blue.
- enjoys all fruits
- sometimes forgets to swallow his food, but keeps adding more to his mouth, resulting in a packed mouthful of half-chewed food that he can no longer swallow. If he's stubborn I have to dig it out with my finger...but most often he will spit it out into my hand if I put it by his mouth.
- gets eaten alive by mosquitoes
- is really good at giving (open-mouthed) kisses
- likes to hit me because I pretend-yelp in response. Not a good thing to start, I know.
- is always the first one awake in the morning. He just lays there for a bit, talking, and then eventually stands up and waits for someone to get him.
- would carry around a small ball or round rock in his hand all day if he could
Kayla:
- weighs 21 lb 11 oz
- loves throwing toys through the baby gate and down the stairs...or through the deck spindles and onto the grass...or through the front window and onto the grass
- mimics everything I do. She'll pick up a dish cloth and wipe her mouth or will wipe tables and the floor
- mimics everything I do, but to Matthew. She'll pick up a dish cloth and wipe his mouth. Matthew dumped sand on his shoulder this afternoon so I brushed it off. Kayla purposely dumped sand on Matthew's shoulder so that she could brush it off. I took off his shoes this evening, dumped out the sand, and then brushed off his socks. Kayla then started to brush off his socks. I put my hand by Matthew's mouth so that he would spit out his food. Kayla then puts her hand by his mouth.
- loves grabbing my brush off on the bathroom counter and brushing everyone's hair. Poor Matthew gets whacked on the head everytime Kayla tries to brush his hair.
- eats best when she can feed herself. I've given up on fighting with her over eating. If she won't eat, then she doesn't get to eat. I don't force it any more. She was only eating a bite or two for breakfast for about a week, until I gave her her own spoon to use as well. While she's scooping herself a bite of oatmeal cereal, I sneak a bite into her mouth. Works like a charm.
- loves frozen peas.
- started talking differently this week...it's like an alien language. Super cute.
- gives really good hugs
- is always the last one awake, whether it be in the morning or from a nap
- always has to hand you everything in her crib, one by one, when she wakes up
