Numbers and songs
I’ve started introducing the boys to numbers and counting. They already know all the capital letters of the alphabet and most of the small letters, although we are still working on the order via the alphabet song, which they love. It’s adorable to see them trying to count EVERYTHING. It’s a lot [...]
Wow!
Logan loves his new vocabulary of exclamation words. “Wow!”, “uh oh!”, “Big!” He says them all with such cuteness that I find myself trying to create situations to get him to say them. He’s starting to put words together. Drink, Mommas. Car, red. Truck, big. It’s really exciting [...]
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 [...]
