Recent Developments

The boys are growing so fast. We went to the doctor last Tuesday for their "15 month" check-up (even though they are now 16 months). Both are growing and developing well. Jack weighs 26lbs 14 oz and is 31.5 inches. Charlie weighs 26lbs 1.5oz and is 32.75 inches. It was finally cold enough that day for them to wear their sweaters and boy did they look handsome.

They are talking more and more now. Currently favorites are ball, yeah and no-no. Jack is working on learning uht-oh but so far will just say uht. I'm fairly certain they have their own language too.

On Saturday Jack had a small run in with a tree and got his first band-aid worthy boo-boo. I'm going to have to get some "little boy" band-aids. He did take the opportunity to start walking though. So far he is pretty secretive about it but hopefully we'll be able to get it on film in the next couple of days and post it for all to see.

A constant companion

The boys are really starting to relate to each other. They frequently tackle or pen one another. Peek-a-boo is a constant game these days between them. It is really cute to see them play together and usually results in lots of giggles from both of them. (Only occasionally do they bite.) They look for each other any time they are separated now even for a few minutes. Jack has even tried to say something that I think is supposed to be brother a couple of times. A week or so ago we tried coloring one afternoon. Charlie ate about half of the green crayon (thank goodness for non-toxics) and Jack just wanted to throw the crayons around. We probably won't color again for a couple of months.
