On Fire
It’s not only hot outside ’round these parts, the language explosion is in full force inside of our house! Forest and Logan are constantly repeating the words they know, asking for new words and learning them within minutes, repeating new words with decent clarity. They understand concepts like “under” and “close”, which seems […]
18 Months
The past month has been such a great joy as my little men become 18 months old. It’s amazing how much they’ve changed in the past six months. How much more independent and adventurous. And yet they are still my little baby boys who love to cuddle and need to keep Momma […]
The Interpreter
I spend a lot of time deciphering screams. Are the boys fighting over space/a toy and going to figure it out on their own? Or did Logan just bite Forest to get what he wants? Is that just frustration or is Forest seriously hurt? Is Logan just being clingy or did […]
Almost there
I’m really starting to feel the move towards “18 months”. It’s amazing. After about three weeks of eating non-stop, Logan is starting to slow down and is sleeping a lot. Forest is still eating like a bottomless pit. Where he puts it, I’ll never know. They are both talking a […]
Missing Daddy
Brad has been gone for 10 days. The boys now know how to communicate that they know who their daddies are and when they miss daddy. And let me tell you, it just kills me. I have had tears in my eyes so many times over these 10 days because every time […]
Communication
The boys are working wonders with sign language! And as I mentioned last week, I’m pretty amazed since it’s been many months since we did it diligently. They get the signs a bit confused sometimes, but Forest understands the sign for milk well enough to use it at the fridge when he just […]
slackin’
I’m slacking on intelligent, thought provoking or even half way interesting posts this week.
We had a round of fevers at the beginning of the week but today both boys seemed “mostly” back to normal and Logan even took his first nap in a week without a wake up (meaning I have to go in, he […]
Connections
Logan has recently been demonstrating that he understands that pictures in books represent things in “real life.” Brad was telling me that the other day he saw a fire truck in one of his books and pointed to the Little People fire truck, going back and forth pointing for Brad. This morning he […]
15 Months
My darling little boys are 15 months old today. I find myself exhausted and tested to the limits of my patience by these two little toddlers who can tear up a house in seconds flat. They throw every pillow from the couch to the floor, they pull every blanket out of the cabinet, […]
Trade
Lately there has been a lot of “stealing” going on between the boys. Logan always seems to want whatever Forest has, and Forest has no problem taking something back that Logan had just taken from him. In an effort to make things more civil, I’ve tried to make a game out of it […]
