words

I don't feel like writing a big long fancy post, so here's a few current notes on the boys.

 

Logan

• bye-bye
• hi (sort of)
• uh-oh

 

Caleb

• bye-bye
• no-no
• car (He repeats this after me starting just a couple days ago.  Sounds more like "ca".)
• he has his own word for dog (sometimes uses it for other animals) - sounds like "ba-oo"
• uh-oh
• amen (sounds like "mimi")

 

Logan has improved with signing "more" at meal times - really hope we continue moving in the right direction as he can whine alot.  :)  Caleb can be very emphatic with signing "please" - cracks me up.  It's pretty obvious if he REALLY wants something.

 

We usually put the boys together in a playpen for awhile after supper so we can clean up.  Turns into full-on wrestlemania in no time.  Tackling each other, standing on each other, etc...  They'll have fun for awhile - lots of giggles and even some kissing (Mike's not too fond of that part!!) - but eventually Caleb has Logan pinned and he starts to cry.  The only thing that distracts them is when Mike lets in the dogs to clean-up the floor - the boys get very excited about that.  We're still trying to teach Caleb not to shriek with excitement and possibly scare the dogs.

 

They are loving books more and more.  Constantly bringing books up to us to read to them.  If you're sitting on the floor, they'll walk up with a book, turn around and plop right down on your lap. 

 

Caleb still has separation anxiety almost every time we leave him (nursery, babysitter, etc.), and Logan almost never does. 

 

Logan's fingers found his nostrils a little while back, and we're working on that one.

 

The boys do great eating carbs, meats, and cheese as table food, but we're still working on transitioning fruit and veggies from pureed to table food.  Logan is generally much more open to trying new things than Caleb is.  Although, if you try to give him milk in a sippy cup rather than a bottle he makes a face like it's the most terrible tasting thing ever.  Caleb loves milk and water.  He would drink all day if I let him - he gets plenty of fluids, I just gotta cut him off at a certain point otherwise he pees like a maniac.

 

Logan is still working on getting a few molars out - he drools like CRAZY.  He has his shirt soaked within minutes.  I probably should just have him wear a bib, but I don't think he'd be a fan of that.
