What new things you girls have done this month!? (from 26-27mo)
-talking up a storm still-can have full conversations with them J
-Using verbs and adjectives a lot in their talking-jumping, splashing, running, sleeping, tired, scratchy, yawning, etc. Getting very good at using a variety of words in their speech!
-Phrases we hear a lot lately: I come back, tay….I be right back…I do it, tay…new one, I pick, it’s mine, sissy took that, she ran away, I hold it, no diaper, new diaper, mommy play it, there it is, I found it!, that’s silly, mommy help me, I’m full, kiss boo boo, Kenzie take it, I poo poo (Lots of I’s and Me’s already-part of toddlerhood? :)
-are working on learning their first Bible verse and are adorable saying it! They will usually do the hand motions to go with it and will fill in words that you stop at J Genesis 1:1 it is…
-girls definitely know our family worship time routine each night…if we try to skip any of the parts (reading Bible, praying, singing) they will be sure to remind us that we haven’t done it yet! Such good accountability already!
-they want “Two Two!” of everything-whether it be snacks in each hand or things to play with-2 wipes, 2 diapers, 2 ponytail holders, etc.
-Great at naming all of their animals and the sounds they make
-will sing ABC song in the bathtub with their letters
-sing happy birthday to themselves while playing with the birthday cupcakes!
-the girls LOVE playing together (most of the time)-always want to know where sissy is or where sissy go? If the other is not around
-MG loves to help daddy take his shoes/socks off after work and help wind up his belt every night! J
-MG loves loves KEYS-always saying I hold keys, tay?
-MG also loves playing with mommy’s hair and is determined to get the ponytail around mommy’s hair all by herself!
-Mak still LOVES books (so does MG but not as much) and will constantly ask us to read to her
-Mak loves her baby dolls and is very motherly still with them-sings to them, turns the sound machine on and will put them to “bed” complete with kisses/noses
-the girls like to switch/rotate which carseat they sit in when we go somewhere-can be a battle for sure!
-very aware of what’s outside-will say the sun is bright if it’s in their eyes, will point cows/horses/trucks/tractors, etc
-Makenzie is MG’s little runner-MG will ask her to go get things if shes in the crib and have her bring them to her
-LOVE being naked-especially MG-she hates having clothes and diaper on, takes off any chance she gets and then Makenzie follows suit
-have become very affectionate with each other and will give lots of hugs/kisses/love you sissy’s throughout the day/week!
-Girls will spontaneously give Kendall & I hugs/kisses/I love yous!
-Makenzie is still our hasty one when working on tasks/just wants to get it done and move on whereas Maddie Grace is so deliberate and careful with each piece she places and is particular about how things look when she’s building, etc. (can we say Williams/Currie??! J)
-MG doesn’t mind picking up bugs, but Makenzie will scream and run!
-by the end of this month, both girls are climbing out of their cribs during naptime and Makenzie on a regular basis at bedtime (10-15times L) NEW CHALLENGE FOR SURE!
-Makenzie still 99.9% of the time wakes up in the morning and at nap long before MG does-Mak sleeps 11ish hours at night and MG is a solid 12-12 ½ hours a night if given the chance =)
-For naps, Mak usually sleeps 1- 2 hrs (usually 1.5hrs on a good day!) and MG is more of 2-3 hours generally
-Finally have moved to just letting Mak have paci at nap and bedtime-has gone much better than expected! She’s pretty attached to say the least…
-Behavior wise-MG has gotten a lot more difficult this month and has thrown lots of temper tantrums and will go to a corner and pout/scream-Makenzie has gotten much, much easier and is usually pretty compliant/joyful and doesn’t have nearly as many outbursts right now as MG
-Makenzie can also open doorknobs now so she lets herself out of the room after naps/in the middle of the night/ and each morning when she wakes up!
-One of their favorite things to do is be in the same crib together! Usually means Makenzie climbs in to Maddie Grace’s since she’s a little more agile =)
-despise being in their car seats and scream just about anywhere we go still =( No fun!
-every afternoon they play at their water table, get soaked and then they can’t stand being wet and must immediately strip their clothes and diapers off! (MG esp hates being wet!!)
