20 and 23 months!

WARNING: No pictures and Blogger isn't letting me upload them at the moment...maybe later!

So yesterday came and went and I didn't get a chance to point out that it was my kids birthday! Ethan is now 20 months old and Ada Grace is now 23 months old! It is hard to believe that in less than a month my baby girl will be 2 years old! WOW!

She is growing and learning every day. She is trying to carry on conversations with me now, "helping" her brother know what is right and wrong, walking up steps and sometimes not even holding the rail, jumping, running, starting to understand the whole potty thing, putting on "shows", and remembering people. She really is working on connecting things or people together as well!

A few of her hang ups would have to be: FOOD, a little too much drama, wanting to be in the center of every one's attention, trying to Mommy her brother, and thinking she is too big for naps!

Ethan is also growing and learning every day. He is starting to try to jump, dance, and do pretty much everything Ada Grace does (or at least give it his best shot!) He also is really picking up on the sign language (finally!) He is still Mommy's snuggles, and loves to rough house with Daddy. He has "favorite" people that he opens up to ~ usually people that are around the most. And he is happy to join in on Sissy's "shows" when other people are around.

A few of his hang ups would have to be: he doesn't like the word NO, no being able to stand up to AG, looks for trouble in every corner, likes to empty to toy box for no reason, climbs on everything, and doesn't really care what Mama says is off limits!

In spite of their hang ups...which some of them are cute at this age...BUT, as Barney Fife would say you have to, "Nip it in the Bud!" I really have two of the best kids in the world...I am thankful to God every day for them and love being their Mommy! They are great!
