Thing one and Thing two

The closet under the stairs isn't for junk anymore! It's Carly's "New House"

I love it when this happens, just not at 5:00PM
(below) Giving her baby a big hug. I love how passionate she gets and has to close her eyes!

Carly

*Has way too much energy!

*Loves to talk, sing and basically just make noise.

*She loves to watch movies with songs and can have it memorized after seeing it only a couple times.

*She loves to watch Curious George and Clifford the big red dog. Dora has phased out.

*She no longer takes naps but still has quiet time (most days)

*She can write letters A-E and count to 20 but usually skips 16. She knows all the colors and shapes.

*She has begun the art of nose picking.

*She gets excited when she can wear her "puppy panties"

*She hates getting her hair done.

*She is a child that thrives on a schedule.

*She will repeat something until we respond to her.

*She will randomly say "I love you so much mommy (or Daddy) and then proceed to say "and I hope you wisten (listen)."

*Some of my favorite words that she says are:

swim soup=swim suit

wittle=little

wove=love

readymote=remote control

bwanket=blanket

*She likes to dress herself.

*She likes to get into the wipes and clean.

*She likes to talk on the phone whether it's with someone real or pretend. She will make sure to tell me to be quiet if she is talking on her play phone.

*Has to have her door open at night with a night light. Every night I give her a kiss, she has to give me a hug and then I have to rub her back.

Sam

*still getting more teeth. He finished his molars and is now working on his upper side teeth (not sure of the technical name)

*Loves to cuddle but only if he's tired and has his blanket and his binky

*If he hurts his hand he has to have me kiss it.

*He loves to climb on our couch or bed and jump up and down.

*He's not a very vocal guy, he only says "Da-ye" (Daddy), Mom, Boo, bubbles, "Ni-Ni" (binky), ball, sometimes he'll say Carly and I think he's learned how to say his name, it comes out at "Ma" (he'll point to himself when he says it)

*He only takes one nap a day, but it is usually a two-hour nap. He goes to bed for the night in between 7:00-7:30 and wakes up 12 hours later.

*He is still hooked on his binky.

*He has learned to growl and he'll growl whenever he sees an animal toy.

*He has to bark whenever Skipper barks.

*He loves the sound of fast and loud cars.

*He loves to play outside.

*He loves to dance whenever he hears music.

*He loves to try and give Carly hugs all the time.

*He could probably eat more than me if I let him.

*He would much rather eat from the table than in his highchair.

*He will give kisses but you have to earn them.

*He will wave good-bye and say "Da"
