Logan: weight 22lb11oz (12%), height 32 1/4 (50%), HC (28%)
This month, Logan started kicking balls in addition to throwing them. He also loves it when I blow bubbles. He chases them and says "bubble, bubble, bubble." We went to an event at the mall the other day and put him on the inflatable castle and... he hated it. He loves loves loves to climb! He can now point to his belly button while saying something that resembles "patapata." When I ask him whether or not he has pooped, he will usually answer me correctly. Logan also says the sounds of monkeys, cows, dogs, elephants, and lions, the last one being his personal favorite. He loves to run around the couch or table, and often encourages Taylor to run with him. At the end of a prayer, Logan says his own version of "Amen." He repeats a lot of other words, too. He can also count up to 3, but I think only Billy and I would know he is actually counting. He likes to sing along, but makes up his own version of the songs. Logan likes to pass between our legs when we are standing, which is fine when I am not wearing a dress and I am not talking to someone at church. At bathtime, he likes to throw toys outside the tub and splash, still. But he also likes to stand, which caused him to get a chipped tooth jsut a couple of nights ago. He occasionally still poops in the tub, but I'll take once a month over every night. Logan is very persistent and will climb on stuff until I get so sick of saying NO and picking him up that I'll put him in time-out. The main reason why he gets into fights with Taylor recently is because he is trying to steal something from him and Taylor is not letting go. Logan gets really mad when I take back the thing he took from Taylor. He occasionally bites Taylor, too. Logan is definitely in a "me-do" stage and loves to do stuff on his own. He actually gets mad sometimes if I try to help him. But he is so happy, most of the time, when he wakes up from a nap or in the morning. He squeels with Taylor, throws his stuffed animal into the other crib, and jumps in his. And finally, Logan has officially mastered his whine. He will whine and whine and whine constantly until I can figure out what he wants. We are trying to teach him the words to the things he wants, but so far it has not ben sucessful. He is a fun little guy and we love him to pieces.
Taylor: weight 20lb9oz (1%), height 31 1/4 (21%), HC 9%
This month, Taylor also started kicking balls in addition to throwing them. He loves it when I blow bubbles and waves him arms in the air to pop as many as he possible can. We went to an event at the mall the other day and put him on the inflatable castle and... he hated it, too. He LOVES to climb and he is really good at it! He can now point to his belly button and nose when asked, but still doesn't actually say the words. He does say the sounds of dogs, lions, and occasionally monkeys. He loves to run around the couch and table to catch Logan, but gets tired of the game much faster than Logan. Taylor gets a kick out of slapping, punching, kicking and stomping on Billy, especially if Billy is laying on the ground. He also climbs on Billy's tummy and stands there with a pretty good balance. He likes to carry things that, I think, are much to heavy for him and brings them to me. He also likes to bring me random things, like pens, rings, or crumbs that the broom or vacuum did not catch. He loves to share with his mama... not so much with Logan who steals stuff from him. Taylor also likes to pass between our legs when we are standing and finds it hilarious. And at bathtime, he likes to throw toys outside the tub and splash. But he also likes to stand, which fortunately hasn't caused him any bad accidents,... so far. He occasionally still poops in the tub, but it is rare. Taylor is very persistent and reckless, and will climb on stuff about a million times over. He has been biting Logan a lot recently, which always gets him in trouble, of course. He likes to crawl, which is interesting considering that he has now been walking for about 4 months. He also now claps and stomps along "If you're happy and you know it." He is so happy when he wakes up from a nap or in the morning. He squeels with Logan, throws his stuffed animal into the other crib, and jumps in his. He loves to cuddle next to me and sometimes kisses my tummy, although I don't actually think he understands there is a baby sister in there. He is a loving little guy and I could never get enough of his slobbery kisses.
