- Weighs 22lb 8oz (25th percentile) and is 33 3/8" tall (90th percentile).
- Words:
- "Ma" for Matthew
- "Ba" for ball
- "Woo Woo" for dog
- Animal Sounds
- "Woo Woo" for dog
- "Sssss" for snake
- "Wra wra wra" (high pitched) for a mouse, rat, squirrel, or rabbit
- Tries to climb poles. I couldn't figure out where she would have picked this up from...until Pauline's blog entry reminded me that she had been trying to copy her older cousins who were climbing a pole at Leanne's house. Totally makes sense now!
- Loves sitting on my lap. If I'm sitting on the floor she often comes and places herself in my lap.
- Learned to spin in a circle on August 23rd.
- Learned to walk backwards on August 30th.
- Is really good at jumping on the trampoline. She actually gets air!
- Loves books.
- Loves playing with the single mega bloks, stacking and unstacking them.
- Loves making her dolls and animals and anything that resembles a living creature "eat". She holds their head by her food and says "nom nom nom".
- Likes to steal toys from Matthew, but will give him something in return in hopes that he doesn't cry/complain.
- Runs everywhere.
- Constantly trips over her toes.
- Talks non-stop when she's in a good mood.
- Has 8 teeth
- Likes to walk around with her blankie wrapped around her
- Likes walking around with my hair brush, and brushing her hair.
- Loves drinking coffee.
- Can't drink pop...the carbonation is too much for her and she lets it drool out of her mouth.
- Is becoming a better eater. The trick is to talk to her and ask her questions during mealtime and shoves bites into her mouth when she's listening/responding. Seems to distract her from realizing that she's confined to a highchair and being fed.
- Is really good at drinking milk...and by that I mean she actually drinks milk at meal times. She doesn't drink enough so that I can drop her before-bed bottle, but we're getting there! (Although I can't drop her bottle until Matthew is ready).
- If you don't praise her for doing something when she thinks she deserves praise, she praises herself by clapping.
- Likes to play "Where is it?" She'll hide a toy between her legs and then will ask you where it is.
- Is quite shy. She shows her shyness by staring straight at you with a blank expression on her face.
- Loves "cleaning". She'll walk around with a wet cloth or a dish brush and will "clean". She must see me do it all the time (haha - kidding!).
- Wears size 12-18 month clothes (but is starting in some 18-24 month), size 3 diapers, size 5 shoes.

- Words:
- "Woo Woo" for dog
- Learned to spin in a circle on August 22nd.
- Learned to walk backwards on August 30th. I have no idea where he would have learned this as I had never shown him!
- Is really good at jumping (on the ground). He gets air!
- Loves going bum drops on the trampoline. He'll jump a few times and then intentionally land on his bum. Too cute.
- Still loves holding rocks.
- Is starting to talk more.
- has 12 teeth...and knows how to use them. He accidentally bit me on the arm last week. And then Kayla was feeding him a goldfish the other day and he bit her finger so hard he drew a little bit of blood. Poor Kayla!
- Still has the best giggle.
- Loves playing with the ball popper...he also loves throwing anything that's not a ball down there and then whining when the balls aren't popping. I get tired of dealing with that so I try to hide the ball popper from him.
- Loves playing with the single mega bloks, stacking and unstacking them.
- Likes walking around with my hair brush, and brushing his hair.
- Loves snacks and candies. He knows exactly which cupboard has the candies and that the snacks come from our pantry.
- Loves drinking pop.
- Sucks at drinking milk during his meals. He just isn't thirsty.
- Likes to play "Where is it?" He'll hide a toy between his legs and then will ask you where it is.
- Is quite shy. He shows his shyness by looking at the ground, completely avoiding eye contact. It's as if he thinks that you will disappear if he's not looking at you.
- Wears size 12-18 month clothes, size 3 diapers, size 4 shoes.
