Every month that rolls by I cant believe another month has rolled by. And I can't believe how much more I like them everytime. OK THIS one was my favorite!! We are now 22 months old and getting close to being TWO!!! How did that happen?? The first year of your lives was the longest year of my life. Filled with unbelievable quantities of stress, panic, worry and lack of sleep. But the second year has been very joy filled and has flown by.
This month was filled with huge changes. One of our parent friends (I cant remember who, Susan maybe) said that once kids start talking you can't believe how fast the words come, and they were right. Here is just some of it
Mama, Dada, up, down, Bea Bea, Geeeeb, more, Baba, Melmo, ball, puppy, Mini, bubbles, cracker, new new (noodles), bean, boo ball (blueberries, all other berries are just ball) gookie, shoes, car, truck, bus, park, diaper, eye, toes, poo, bum, cup, apple, pear, book, potty, tub, all done, night night, kiss, out, light, phone, one, two, three, four, five....to ten, bear, umbrella, hat, go, flop, ouchie, plane, and a million others. These are just the words that you use regularly not just the words you understand. You guys understand EVERYTHING!
The amazing thing about this list is how much you can communicate with a limited list, how much you can say. Just yesterday you were snacking on green beans and Gabe pulled one out of the bowl and announced "one bean" or when I asked why you were crying and upset, "Baba toe ouchie" I had heard a small bang but you explained that your sippy had fallen off the table and landed on your toe.......really the best part of this story is that Bea started kissing your toes, asking after each kiss and pointing to the toe she had just kissed "ouchie toe?"
The physical changes have been amazing too. In the last month the two of you have gotten so brave and sure of yourselves at the local park I take you to that I can sit back and watch you run around like manics. Bea you have always loved the slide and for a while now you spend most of your park time going up and down the slide (if you aren't in the swing)




This month we made two trips to visit Grandparents. First an over night to Gramma and Grandy's in Stratford. We spent time running around in their local park, picking and eating peas, playing with sidewalk chalk, and playing with cousin Max's toys....oh and drinkin beers..


And another trip out to Pakenham for a week long vacation with Grammy and Papa G. You guys really love it there and find a million rotten things to get up to....most of them involve being naked




I love you guys more all the time
Mama
