To quote James, "WOW"... life is great here. The boys are non-stop fun. They are social butterflies rarely meeting a stranger. They can shake hands with you now. Chris repeats many words and talks 2 & 3 word phrases, it must be all that reading he does! James is having fun in life not one for "learning" now but he is slowly catching up. He can out babble ANYONE and does that for hours is seems. Their newest word is ...... "MeMe". This is what they call my mom so she is on cloud nine. They even say "Meme cookies" when we eat her cookies at home. When we get in the car Chris says, and James repeats, "Meme". Next on our list of words to focus on is Gramps and Dramma. Chris also like to say "AH NO" and it took us about a week to figure out it means "yes" but "NO" really means "no." They are now independent eater. They like feeding themselves with fork (AKA- "orks") and spoons. They are still not the cleanest but they are working on it. They also do a good job on picking up their toys at night. Thank goodness! The sweetest phrases that Chris says is "Tank you Mama/ Dada"- this melts my heart. They have enjoyed our weekly drives for "(L)ights, HoHo and (s)ANTA." From the back seat we hear "Dada more" the whole drive. We have a blow up Santa, snowman and penguin in our yard and they love going out and saying "Hi" and "Bye" to them almost nightly. They are loving their cars and trains and anything that makes noise and goes fast on the hardwood floors. We are looking forward to Christmas morning to see the reaction. I hope it is another "WOW" moment!
