might try J

if pooping will deny it until mommy says “say yes!”

in their high chair and stroller

wall/rails for dear life when stepping down whereas Makenzie is like a little
bulldozer and has not an ounce of fear!

still, not the entire way but most of the way and always asks for a book to
look at =)

each other even more!
-still love, love, love animals and going to the zoo is
definitely a wonderful experience for them
-they try to help one another if one is crying or hurt or
sat which is precious! Will deliver the others paci/blankie/cup of milk, etc to
try to fix the problem!
-they have begun to copy and imitate exactly what the other
one is doing-especially being silly-if one puts the fork upside down and
hanging out of their mouth, the other copies or at bedtime they start bobbing
their head side to side while giggling incessantly and the other begins to
copy=hysterical!

eating, etc
