What new things you girls have done this month!? (from 28-29mo)
-Phrases we still hear a lot of lately: “I not sleepy, I just tired,” “I can’t, my tummy hurts,” “I play games mommy,” “I play nother game,” “G-dad for Granddad,” “No, I yove you more mommy!” “I need to rest,” “I happy!” “backways” (MG says that’s for inside out clothes) “wet willy!” “I wear this,” “it messed up”-referring to IPAD problems J “my hands are full,” “I have a lot of stuff”-(to carry to car) “I’m busy right now,” “watch me mom/dad!” “ I play 2 more min” “Sissy, I have some & Sissy, help me!” “I found it!” “I right here mommy” ‘I do it too please,” “where daddy go?” “I hold that,” “I have that please,” “1, 2, 3, go!” “Mommy wake up, Mommy get up!” “I’m just playing…” “Oh my goodness,” “where auburn go, where’s aubie?” & “What is that, what is this &    who is that?” (pretty much about everything!) “Don’t get me!”
-Talking in extremely long sentences which has been so much fun! (most of the time =)
-love their miniature size Bibles and like to “read” them and carry them around, insist on taking them to church!
-LOVE LOVE matching colors-will go around the house and match what they are eating to other objects as well as any other toy to another toy, etc that is the same color
-Into letters and abc’s
-still love animals in books and movies-Mak is scared of a lot of bugs and will scream while MG loves them and inspects them and tries to hold them
-have begun trying to get out of doing things or helping clean up by saying their tummy hurts and they need to go rest! =) (where do they learn this kind of stuff!?!)
-Maddie Grace has gone pee pee in the potty almost every day and even multiple times a day since Aug.8th! Makenzie isn’t nearly as interested in going potty anymore which has been somewhat of a twin reversal!
-Makenzie is our little snugglebug still and LOVES to get in bed between us, as close as possible, with every body part touching her, including face and will fall back asleep very soundly =)
-should never have taught them how to give wet willy’s! They love giving them now =)
-MG sorts colors and identifies them well; Makenzie sorts them well but still doesn’t seem to have any idea what color it is-bless!
-Both girls LOVE sleeping with stuffed animals-we have to put a limit on how many can go in the bed with them =)
 
 
-MG very interested in her name and writing it when she colors or on her cup, etc.
-MG LOVES puzzles and is very very good at them, she will work at it for a pretty extended period of time!
-Funny story from this month: during family worship time, Kendall laughed as he asked them who makes them righteous, knowing obviously the gap in understanding….but they both responded and we died laughing! MG said my hair? And Mak followed her up with saying Nana! Close girls…but we’ll keep working on some solid theology =)
-every night during family worship time as we’re reading a new story, they keep coming back to Adam and Eve-they will repeatedly say “they ate the fruit, they disobeyed…” and Noah is another big favorite!
-they watched their first movie in the car on the IPAD and were mesmerized-they didn’t budge and loved watching Dora and Mickey on the way to and from the beach!
-MG cries a whole lot when she doesn’t get her way =(
-Makenzie handles conflict and disappointment significantly better at this point than MG but she has recently (last couple days) began to slap the couch or bed or a toy if she is mad which only ends up hurting herself…=(
-they absolutely LOVE playing in the car…and ask to do so anytime we arrive back home.
-Makenzie hates hates having the door shut in her bedroom during nap or bedtime and will begin asking you “no shut door” leading up to each one repeatedly!
-MG still scared of loud noises-vacuum, washing machine, blender, thunder, etc and will either run to mommy with her bunny in hand looking terrified or run to the couch!
-Makenzie is such a BIG helper! She will throw away diapers, run get anything you ask, or retrieve sissy’s bunny to make her happy if she is crying! Maddie Grace prefers to stay put and asks someone else to do it :)
-When they are walking, Maddie Grace will often swing her arms beside her as she does her somewhat of a waddle-love it! And Makenzie will put her arms behind her back like she’s got something to hide-just precious as well!
-Maddie Grace is our little miss independent and wants to do EVERYTHING all by herself. Makenzie is just fine asking for help with just about everything! =)
-they learned to blow bubbles in their milk cup and they die laughing together as they watch them rise to the top

-they LOVE looking at pictures of “babies” every morning when they wake up on mommy’s phone
-new thing this month is they love to have daddy give them “princess rides” to bed-they get on his back together and go for a ride and then he drops them each off at their bed and plops them in J they love it!
