-MG loves to copy any acrobatic or risky moves Makenzie might try J
-they imitate one another and will both copy the other one (esp when it’s something silly)
-when cuddling in the rocking chair, Maddie Grace likes to face forward with thumb in and bunny ear to nose in the “perfect” spot; Mak likes to put her tummy to my chest and get all snuggly
-have started to try to “hide” while pooping and when asked if pooping will deny it until mommy says “say yes!”
-one of their favorite things to do is to buckle the straps in their high chair and stroller
-favorite toys: babies/strollers, table & chairs-pretending to eat with their dishes & play food, grocery carts/food
-learned to “float” in the bathtub and lay on their tummy & love to swim like “fish!”
-anytime they hear the trash truck in the back they run to our window to be picked up!
-keenly aware of airplanes and trains
-greatly enjoy putting on lotion after bath time and will reach up with their little hands cupped and say more! Also, love the baby q-tips!
-they love hiding from each other or mommy/daddy and popping out to say boo!
-first thing in the morning they point to the TV and say on for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! They absolutely LOVE it so now we watch Mickey during breakfast every day J
-can now “reason” with Makenzie when discussing behavior, eating, etc J
-MG is still super duper cautious and will hold onto the wall/rails for dear life when stepping down whereas Makenzie is like a little bulldozer and has not an ounce of fear!
-Makenzie screams in the car just about everywhere we go still, not the entire way but most of the way and always asks for a book to look at =)
-they definitely fight like sisters but they sure do love 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!
-have full conversations on their play phones still and then will say bye bye and slam the phone down
-love having everything ON-lights, tv, music, candle while eating, etc
-they love to have bites of my breakfast each morning (mostly cereal)
-they say too too for me too

-love their new climber/slide
-started doing “dessert” at some mealtimes, works great to get them to eat vegetables/meat J

-have started crying some when left in nursery but not for long thankfully!
-Makenzie can still be a very difficult eater but sometimes if you offer her food to MG she will then decide to eat all of hers, ha!

-say “Ewwww~!” when getting their diaper changed or when they see sissy getting a diaper change

-Makenzie likes to sleep with 2 pacis-one in and one on her finger-rather precious!
-new love for singing and ask to read the books that involve songs!
-enjoy being outside a whole lot and playing at the park-such a challenge with two going down huge slides and trying to protect both of them!
-both girls immediately say daddy whenever they hear the garage and will wait at the gate or run to it when they hear/see him!
-enjoy learning activities that mommy has made/coloring with markers/crayons
-have a hard time when they don’t get their way-lots of squealing which has made for lots of consistent discipline =(
-MG is meticulous and will straighten things up like blankets or make things neat! She also pays attention to detail and loves to stack her blocks by color already
-MG loves to wave and say hi to everyone when we are out and about and she loves when she gets a response! J
