21 Months Old

Tuesday Harper and Jack were officially twenty-one months old....just three months shy of two years old. I still can't wrap my mind around these little ones getting so big!

Jack:
-still loves to read and will sit by himself in his room and look through books
-is trying a variety of new words and will try and repeat words he hears
-is identifying things in "real life" that he sees in books- like today when it was raining, we were talking about the rain out the window, and he went and got a book and found a picture of an umbrella and pointed to it. What a smarty pants!
-loves to play chase with his daddy and loves to laugh at silly things I do (like hula hooping in the kitchen)
-is working on eating new foods, but still loves macaroni and cheese the best and his smoothies.
Here's a shot of Jack eating an apple (something he requests by name)


Harper:
-also loves to read and if you ask her for a specific book, she will go to her bookshelf and find the book you asked for based on the spine of the book (I still don't know how she does it)
-has had an explosion of language and new words in the past month, for instance, today she randomly said "turtle" when we were reading a book- something she would've just pointed at a month ago
-is now saying "no no no" and wagging her finger when Jack does something that she knows he's not supposed to
-is currently very interested in Abby and asks for "Abba" frequently. Harper also picked up the dog from her Little People house (a Dalmatian) and said "Abba!" and then went to show Abby the little Abby dog.
-loves to run to the backdoor when her daddy gets home and dance and play on Momma and Daddy's bed
-is also trying new foods and constantly makes me smile when she chows down on something- gone is that little girl who was "failure to thrive"
Here's a picture of architect Harper building a tower with some support from Durinda.

Here are some pictures of things we did this week including a visit from Nana and Pop (who brought Abby back home), playing with our diaper box tunnel, and trying ketchup as a "dip" for the very first time- yum!
