They are so much fun at this age, Collin is 27 months now and he is such a good brother. He loves his little sister so much. It is amazing how his instinct just kicks in and he always wants to take care of her and it really bothers him when she is crying. He makes sure to let us know, (like we already don't know) "baby's crying" over and over. So protective.
But on the other hand, everything that is his sisters is his! Every toy, swing, car seat, pillow, blanket... You get the point..... The art of sharing is not there.
Emily just started eating baby food. We started with oatmeal and she loves it. She has not quiet got down the function of what her toung is supposed to do, but getting better. We have tried mixing apple baby food with her oatmeal and we get a huge smile. She is like WOW that taste so much better. Hahaha.
She started rolling over last week. She can go from both sides and she can go from tummy to back and back to tummy. This just seemed to happen over night. We put her on the living room floor one night and she just took off and rolled three times. But now that is her form of motion and she can get to where she wants. She also has found her feet and can chew on them. So cute but so gross she has stinky feet sometimes and that does not seem to bother her. She is a very good sleeper, still only waking up once for a bottle in the night and goes to bed about 7:30.
We are working on crawling..... But I think she thinks that is just too much work.
Emily is still really petite. She is wearing 3 months clothes and size 2 diapers. Collin at this age was in 6 to 9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. She has the best big brother.
Collin is talking up a storm. He is learning new words all the time, we have to be very careful he can really play copy cat. It is like we have an echo in the house. He can count to 20 by himself and he is very proud of it, he tells us over and over and over. He can put 4 word sentences together and getting much better at coloring, keeping it between the lines. Right now the big favorite is trains, he plays with his choo choo train every night and loves mickey, and jake and the never land pirates. The best part is he can now sing the theme songs to the shows, so cute.
Collin still has no interest whatsoever in potty training. We are really going to start trying again once the new year is here. He is wearing size 5 diapers. But he understands when he has to go, it is so funny he goes in his room shuts the door and then comes out and says " I'm done" like thanks , why can't you do that on the potty. Ugh. One day.
Christmas is in two days. And we are ready. Tons of presents under the tree. But most of all we are so happy to have our little ones. Our life would not be complete with out them.
