*Our baby boy is no longer a baby...he's a little boy now. A little boy who looks like like a little boy, talks like a little boy, and loves like a little boy.
*Our little boy has a pretty extensive vocabulary that grows daily. He says "ah dat" (what's that), you tell him and he knows it. His latest "where did that come from words" were toast and onion.
*Our little boy can repeat all letters of the alphabet pretty clearly and can verbally identify letters A-I and O. He recognizes these letters when we are out and about and gets so excited when he does.
*Our little boy is learning his shapes, but his favorite seems to be the star, which he loves to spot on any Macy's ad or when we are at the mall and he sees the red Macy's star.
*Our little boy has a mouthful of teeth...I think he's starting to get his two year molars.
*Our little boy melts our hearts daily with his joyous yells of "Daddy" when Ryan gets home from work and "Mommy" when he needs me or wants to show me something. It brings a smile to my face each and every time.
*Our little boy has learned the power of the word "no," but says it so sweetly that it's hard not to oblige to his "no" wishes. I think it's really helped him feel like he's communicating with us and being heard, so he doesn't get as frustrated.
*Our little boy loves to give hugs and kisses, loves his Ra Ra (Roxi), loves saying all the people he loves names (Daddy, Mommy, Sissy, Papa, Nonnie, Grammie, and Ra Ra), and loves doing all things active.
*Our baby girl is still a baby girl in my eyes, though she's looking more and more like a little girl each and every day.
*Our little girl loves all things food. She is the best eater, often eating as much as I eat and somehow stays so petite and in the 10th percentile for weight....God bless her and her metabolism!
*Our little girl's vocabulary is growing daily. Her favorite phrase of the moment is, "utts this?" She says "utts this?" all day long about everything. We laugh every time because her tone and slight lisp are so cute. She also loves to repeat "no no no" whenever she or her brother are told no. She shakes her head and finger and says, "no no no." It's hard to get stay mad at that!
*Our little girl can point and identify the letters A-F and tries to say them, but they aren't too clear quite yet.
*Our little girl loves to be tickled and loves to tickle everyone's toes. The second she sees bare feet, she walks up, and say's "ticky ticky ticky" as she tickles your toes. It's so cute and so amazing how much they pick up from what we do.
*Our little girl loves doing the hand motions for "head, shoulders, knees, and toes." It's so adorable to watch her start dancing the second she hears the tune.
*Our little girl went potty on the potty for the first time after months of sitting on the toilet. She is starting to be more aware of it, so hopefully potty training will happen right when she's two.
*Our little girl has a mouthful of teeth and a real bugger of a last one year molar that's struggling to break through. She's never really been bothered by teething, but this molar seems to be hurting her quite a bit.
*Our little girl lights up when she sees her Daddy, saying "DaDaDaDa" when he walks in the door. She melts my heart every time she says "Mom," which is of course when she needs me or wants to show me something. I love the sound of my name being said by my sweet little girl. She can say Papa, Nonnie, and Ra Ra too, and is working on Grammie. She lights up when she sees her grandparents and her Ra Ra!
There's nothing greater in this world than being Clayton, Chloe, and baby peanut's parents. We are so blessed. Here's a few pictures of their month...
On New Year's Eve we took Clayton and Chloe to the Aquarium of the Pacific. They had a fun time getting to know the ocean sea life!
