The Boys

I feel like a horrible neglectful mother I’ve forgotten 2 months in a row to up date my boys monthly progress.  So I decided to go ahead and combine 25 & 26 months together.

25 and 26 Months!!

At 25 & 26 months they love to do:

• driving the gator, playing outside, riding anything that moves
• They love playing trucks and tractors with their many many many toys
• They really enjoy  going to the children reading hour at the library, play date and the museum.
• Little H loves Hats, gloves and boots.

• Little W loves to ride with Poppy on the 4-wheeler

*riding with poppy, they actually love it though you can’t tell from their faces it was really cold that day.

New words they say:

• They can repeat almost any word, I say can also say I love you!  Like dangerous and motorcycle.
• They can count to 5, and sing along with their abc’s (mostly)

Stuff they are so into:

• Bicycle big wheels, lawn mowers, tools, chickens
• Sesame Street and Barney
• pretending to be animals, like tigers and snakes
• playing while eating
• Still love their paci’s and blankets.  We tried briefly to have them give them up but Little H cried so hard for so long he voice was hoarse for days. (that was fun)

Things they don’t like so much: (new I decided to add)

• Keeping their pants on, still, though we have gone a few days and no accidents.
• coming inside from playing outside
• When they take toys from one another, of course this is a given, and a daily occurrence.

*Little H loves to “steer” but Little W is actually pushing the pedal.

My Turkeys are 2, I just can’t believe it.  This year has just flown by.  Life with them is so enjoyable and they truly light up my day.  They are changing and learning so fast, soon they will be smarter than me, or they probably already are but just haven’t let me in on that fact yet.

• drive the gator, play outside, ride anything that moves
• read
• play in the tent, and play chase

• They are now asking for certain foods, like bananas, yogurt, cookies!

*the boys are in deep thought watching tv.

Stuff they are so into:

• Bicycle big wheels, lawn mowers, tools
• Sesame Street and Barney
• Singing, and playing games

Things they don’t like so much: (new I decided to add)

• Keeping their pants on, yes we are still having this issue, so onesies and sleepers are mommy’s best friend.
• Veggies- they don’t want to eat their veggies lately, but I am not giving up we still offer them at every meal
• coming inside from playing outside

So 21 months came and I almost forgot,yet again to update my guys page with all their new activities.  Well I am now a Stay at Home mom and spending almost every second of the day with my little fellows and truly loving it.  They each have all of their eye teeth poking through, and surprisingly they haven’t been fussy or anything.

20 Months!!

The boys are going constantly non stop.  They love life and love to have fun.  Little W leg healed and had his cast removed and then 10 days later he fell and broke the same leg “different spot” again, this time not as bad and no cast required.  So mommy is on super patrol to ensure no more accidents.  But he has been a little trooper through it all and no more than 3 days later up is up walking on it again.  Little H has been such a little funny guy lately, he is either super happy or super mad, and has added to his repertoire throwing fits, hitting and saying NO!!!  Fun stuff, but then he will turn around and be the sweetest little Stinker ever!

*Little H with his “not me” face

At 20 months they love to do:

• using the potty
• play hide and seek, peek a boo, tickle, etc
• playing with daddy’s boots

* Little W all wrapped up in his favorite blankies

Stuff they are so into:

• reading
• playing in the sprinkler, water
• bath time
• crawling on our bed, pretending to sleep

——————————————————————————————————————————–

19 Months!!

19 months only the good lord knows what it holds for us.  Little W has now had his cast on for almost 3 weeks and decided that after 2 weeks he could walk again, and now nothing stops him now.  19 months holds for Little H lots of little tantrums, and throwing himself on the ground overly dramatic, I hate to laugh but its just too ridiculous sometimes.  Since Little W is in a cast and we have strict instructions not to get it wet or dirty we have been spending most of our time indoors, and it’s been hard on the little outdoorsy guys, but they are adjusting.  On July 8th Little W will get his cast removed and we can return to outside play with the sprinkler, yea!

*Little H running around outside
