Sitting on the ledge

all ready to go outside.





Lily (L) and Elsa (R)

Lily and Elsa are doing new and exciting things every day. Lily's really been working on her walking. She can go 4-5 steps before she tumbles. Elsa's been concentrating on her words. Animals and animal noises are still her favorite. But, she's added night-night to her vocabulary.

They also like to point to body parts on themselves, us and each other. They know eyes, nose, mouth, feet, shoes, head and hair. (In case you want to know the difference between hair and head, they pat their head. They make a brushing motion for hair). They also can point to their diapers and tell me when they need a change.

They have also started singing. Mark and I can recognize the melody. They like to sing the Wheels on the Bus and Old MacDonald. They can do the hand motions for the Itsy Bitsy Spider and If You're Happy and You Know It.

The girls are getting very cuddly. They like to jump into our laps and snuggle. They've also started giving hugs. They even like to pat each other on the back.

Another fun thing they do is bring us books to read. Their attention span for reading is quite good. Sometimes, we sit and read book after book.

I can't believe how quickly they are growing up. They will be 15 months old this week.
