18 months old

 MAE

Clementine HAD to sit next to her.

Trying to kiss Buddy.

Pushing her little chair around...

 

Approximate weight:  I'm guessing 19+ pounds

Approximate height: I'm guessing around 28 inches

Teething:  Her mouth is full!

Walking: ANY DAY NOW...she pushes the cart all over and stands on her own and claps at herself with such pride. Literally, I think it will happen any day...once she decides she wants to do it.

Favorite Play Toys/Things to do: She loves playing with the kitchen from her Parnell cousins...her and Mac both love playing in the little baby pool that we set up on the back deck. 

Favorite Food: Not much change here...she loves fruit--especially blueberries, strawberries and watermelon...and of course, cheddar blasted gold fish.

Milestones/Highlights/Biggest Changes: Her communication is amazing us right now. Not only does she do the baby sign language but she is starting to say the words with the signs.  She actually says a really good amount of words right now--her vocabulary includes milk, please, daddy, buddy, sauce, books, blocks, strawberries, mac, SuSu, shoes, etc.  Actually, she doesn't say Mommy very much, I've got to fix that!...another first, she was playing in the baby pool as we do most nights after dinner and she slipped and her whole head went under. She sat up, wiped her hair out of her face, gained composure and then looked at me and totally fell apart!  It was so sweet but obviously her first time completely under water scared her...delayed reaction :).


MAC

Give me milk Mommy/Daddy!

When Mae is pushing something around, he loves to either take what she has or go get something else and push around faster:)...a little competitor?

Approximate weight: I'm guessing 24+  pounds

Approximate height: I'm guessing 31+ inches

Teething: He has a mouth full!

Walking: He LOVES being chased and trying to run from you...it's more of a trot while he's looking back to be sure you are there...pretty cute.

Favorite Play Toys: He loves pool time and bath time. Basically, he's happy playing in the water.

Favorite Food: He's still our enigma...pretty unpredictable when it comes to food. He definitely only eats when he is hungry (not like most guys who will eat food any time:)).

Milestones/Highlights/Biggest Changes: He just seems like such a big boy to me.  He knows how to communicate but he does it differently than his sister. When he wants milk, he goes and bangs on the frig, when he is ready to brush his teeth, he goes to the drawer where he knows his toothbrush is...so funny.  He seems to be very routine and scheduled, wonder where that comes from?! He doesn't say as many words as Mae but he is funny with what he says like "uh no" and "oh wow"...he talks with his hands a lot which is hilarious and he walks around pretending to be on my phone all the time. Cracks me up.


M&M

Celebrity sighting at lunch...

Playing in the kitchen pantry...

My favorite!  I almost captured it, trying to kiss...
