Life sure is fun at our house these days. These two are quite entertaining on a minute by minute basis. We thank God for their precious lives and hope and pray He continues to give us the grace we need to point these girls to the Lord. Happy 20 Months Maddie Grace & Makenzie!! We love you both so, so much and can't imagine life without you two!!
What new things you girls have done this month!? (from
19-20mo)
-Words Maddie Grace CAN say: bye bye, Mommy, Daddy, dog,
yummy, baby, ohhh, uh-oh, no, nigh nigh, me, boom, boo boo, what’s that, “right
there,” hi/hey, up, down, eyes, ball
-Words Makenzie CAN say: bye bye, uh-oh, mama, dada, nigh
nigh, hi, up, down, boom, boo boo, baby, ball, that
-love being told “secrets”
-want to help with everything (laundry, cooking, cleaning)
-danced and cheered for a week which got Makenzie to
eat-UNBELIEVABLE! J
-close every door when opened, also love to hide behind
doors
-really taken up dancing this month, esp Mak! They esp love
some Bob Marley, but then who doesn’t J
-Makenzie immediately starts dancing now when a song comes
on-she throws her hands in the air, even in her highchair!
-Makenzie’s famous dance looks like a monkey J
H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S
-hate having dirty hands, insist on having them washed
throughout mealtime to keep them clean
-turn your head with hand to get your attention
-MG dragged her granddaddy’s hand to take her outside (first
time she’s insisted on going somewhere)
-can go up/down stairs very well (still have to watch MG
more)
-recognize family and extended family in pics
-love pointing to things and saying “what’s that?!” they
love for you to name objects
-constantly have fingers/hands in mouth bc first molars are
coming in-they have been in a lot of pain!
-MG started tip-toeing
-Makenzie loves to make a huge mess and dump out whole
contents of things or knock over massive amounts of things while MG prefers to
keep things neater
-Makenzie seems to be more advanced with gross motor
(running, climbing, etc) while Maddie Grace is definitely further along in the
fine motor skills area (fitting in puzzle pieces, picking up tiny items,
carefully stacking blocks, etc)
-MG is much more precise when it comes to puzzles and blocks
and getting things to fit right or stack whereas Makenzie just slaps it down
and hopes it goes in
-Maddie Grace is persistent with a task, while Makenzie gets
super frustrated if her first attempt is unsuccessful-she usually signs done J
-both will shake head yes when you tell them to say “yes
mam!”
-MG still bites Makenzie on occasion, but let’s be honest
Makenzie def deserved it-she is quite the instigator
-MG is very cautious and timid and moves slow; Mak is like a
bull in a china shop and has no fear at all
-love to drink out of mommy and daddy’s cups
-OBSESSED with crunching ice-can keep them entertained for a
while
-eat well with fork and spoon
-still not much fun to take out to eat-quite a handful most
of the time (every now and then we luck upJ)
-generally not great eaters, but from time to time you both
can put away some food. Most days it’s still a battle and causes mommy lots of
anxiety L
Makenzie does love ChickFilA nuggets so we frequent there at least once a week!
-Favorite foods (at least today=): banana pancakes, French
toast, cantaloupe, bagels with cream cheese, nuggets, HUMMUS, banana with
peanut butter, strawberries, pears, kiwi, grapes, mac n cheese, PBJ, Kix &
Life Cereal, carrots, peas, broccoli, green beans, goldfish, popsicles from
Steel City Pops
-2nd Christmas with us-Mak seems very scared of
the tree this year while MG is super fascinated and intrigued by it and has
already gently “pet” the ornaments J
