My friend Joy posted a blog about all the things her 15mth old is doing and she tagged me and some others to do the same for our little ones, but in all fairness I can't brag on one without bragging on the other. So you all get a double dose. :)
Bree is getting ready to turn 20mths and she becoming more and more a little toddler every day. Here are some of the things she is doing:
She no longer walks, she runs everywhere. If she does walk I alway say she walks like George Jefferson, she has that little swagger to her walk. If you don't know what I am talking about try and find a video of The Jeffersons and watch how he walks. It's cracks me up to see her do this.
She is talking much more saying pretty much anything we say to her she trys to repeat it.
She understands everything we say to her. It is so cute to ask her to throw something away and she takes it to the trash can, or tell her it is time change her diaper and she goes to her room.
She is eating well with both a fork and spoon
She loves to give kisses.
But I guess the big thing is that she wants to do everything her sister does. She thinks she is 3 years old and gets so mad when she can't.
Katie who is 3 1/2 can of course carry on full blown converstaions with you. So much so you appreciate the quit time when you have it. She learns new things every day at school. Knows her numbers and letters. She is starting to learn to write her name and she will just wow you sometimes on things she knows at 3. She loves books and her movies. She is the best big sister. She really takes care of Bree. I think she babies Bree more than Chris and I do. Katie does not like her to cry over anything. When Bree does cry Katie is the first to see what is wrong. Don't get me wrong they do have their moments but Katie has a big heart for her sister.
Besides just listing what they have learned to do by the age they are at. I thought I would list the little things that make me glad to be their mom.
I love to sit and listen to them playing together, to hear their laughter and Katie explaining how to do things to Bree. Bree looks at her like she is telling her the most fascinating stuff.
I love how Katie loves to read books to Bree.
I love how they sit together and will watch a movie.
I love when I say it is time to eat, Bree will literally drop whatever she is doing and run to her chair. The girl loves to eat.
I love that Katie has such a sweet heart and such tender emotions. She is going to be the girl who wears her heart on her sleeve.
I love how Katie just wants to sit with me and have me read her a book or just talk or even maybe do my hair. My hair is her new fasination.
I love how Bree will randomly walk up to me and just hug my leg and look up at me.
I love the little dirty looks Bree can give when she is not happy and how playful she can be when she is in a silly mood.
I love Katie's imagination. The girl can come up with some of the most outragous stores.
I love when I pick them up from school or from their SS room at church that they just run to give me a hug. There is nothing like it and it just make you feel as if you are the most special person to them. I think we all should greet the ones we love that way( a little inside thought there).
These are just a few of things I can say about them. I think I could go on for a few more pages. These are just some of the little blessing I get each day from my girls. I thank God everyday for making me their Mom and blessing me with the opportunity to raise them.
