2 & almost 15 months

Luke

Sleep:  Luke now goes to bed earlier (8:00ish) and sleeps until 6:00am before eating, then sleeps again until 8am.  It's a BEAUTIFUL thing ;)

Extrovert:  I'm calling it now... this boy loves human interaction!  There are times when he'll have toys hanging in front of him to play with and he'll fuss until someone comes over and smiles at him.  I know he'll love having a sister to play with as he grows older- now to just make sure her independent sister will enjoy playing with him ;)

Smiles, coos, and laughs!:  Suddenly this boy is a talker!  He will coo and smile and "flirt" when anyone gives him eye contact and smiles.  And.... he even laughed a few times for us!  I've only gotten him to do it once (see video below) but daddy's gotten it a few times now.

Growing fast!  Luke is now wearing 6 month clothes.  He doesn't quite fill them out but the 3 month clothes are far too tight length-wise.  

Hands: His hands find his mouth often but he just kinda sucks on his fist

Katelyn

Sleep:  Kate has been fighting naps pretty hardcore these days.  I think a lot of it has to do with her going from 2 naps to 1, teething, and just being 1 1/2 years old ;)

Words:  Starting to say (not just sign)  "all done (ah-dun)", "Please (pleh)", What's that (Wasat?), "Bathtime (ba-time)

Chase: When we come home, she immediately turns her back, peeks her head around, smiles, and runs away (wants to be chased)

Dolls: She is mimicking me taking care of Luke with her dollies, her stuffed animals, even a fisher price cow toy- (gives them pacifiers, feeds them a bottle, burps them, rocks them).  She even likes to "help" with Luke by forcing the pacifier in his mouth when he doesn't want it, or taking out to put it back in when he already has it in.  She'll also rock the swing he's in if it's not rocking itself.  She's a good little mommy :)

Surprise face: Anytime sound that she isn't anticipating happens, (especially sound from her dollhouse or when daddy walks in the door, or even if someone toots- including herself) her mouth goes wide open and she looks at us using a surprised face.  She is truly a joy!

Christmas: Katelyn had her 2nd Christmas and this time was so much more fun- although I'm pretty sure she doesn't understand the idea of boxes... She'd open things we know she'd be excited about but was indifferent until things came out of the boxes.  She received a playhouse from mommy and daddy (mostly daddy), a kitchen set from grandma tufte, a barn playhouse from grandma patton, and many other smaller gifts and she's quite excited about them all!
