I can't believe how fast my babies are growing and how much they are learning! My little Lily bug can count to 11 (exept she skips 7 everytime) and she is singing the ABC's. Of course she misses a few, but I'm just amazed at her memory. Everyday she learns a new word and repeats what we say, her vocabulary has just exploded! She is also starting to speak in small sentences. She shows me all of her favorite stuffys and says, "Hi Bee, Hi Bunny, Hi Bear, Hi Mama" all in a row. Anytime she falls she says, "Boo boo, Oh Man , Bandaid!" It's really funny. She also points to the computer and says, "dance" because she knows that's where the music comes from she likes to twirl and bounce and move her feet to music. And the best words of all, she uses "please, thank you, pray, and bless you" which just melt my heart. She even says "Bless you" when I cough, and that is a blessing in itself! At 21 months she is a mover and a shaker and her favorite thing to do is push Bee around in a baby stroller my mom got her. As she pushes Bee and I push Ben, usually rocks catch her eye and our 1/2 mile walk takes us a good hour to complete. She has also learned how to go down a baby slide, and LOVES to be on a swing...in fact she throws a bit of tantrum when we are done with the swings.
Mr. Ben is 7 months old, he'll turn 8 months in 2 weeks and I just can't believe that. He is ooey gooey and I love it! He's been eating baby food for quite awhile now (which I found is not hard to make at all) and now he can even gum cheerios. He's really good at picking them up and feeding himself with his soft chubby hands- it's the cutest thing. Everyday he is making new sounds too, he just started to blow rasberries which is always fun. He rolls around and does the airplane move, he scoots backwards a bit, and can sit up-though he needs pillow support because he ends up falling over all the time. Both Lily & Ben love to laugh and be tickled and make funny noises and faces, I feel really blessed to have such happy sweet babies. They don't fuss much and all they seem to need is love and attention. I tried doing baby yoga with Ben, and toddler yoga with Lily. Lily only wanted to do the things where I lifted her in the air and didn't like any of the calm relaxing things. Meanwhile Ben giggled as I tried to put his pudgy body in baby yoga poses and massage. They are so much fun!
