What's New with the Twins?

Lukas & Maddox are growing up too quickly! They are at a really fun (also trying) but mostly fun age! In the last few months a lot has been going on with them.

Maddox has started talking in full sentences. She has surprised us with her ability to communicate. Sometimes we have to remind her to "use her words" and when we do she sure knows how to get her point across. There are a couple of words that she says that are hilarious...I'm trying to get it on recording, but she is a bit camera shy. She is really into chocolate right now...which is pronounced "chop - let"...we have "choplet" cake, "choplet candy" and her favorite, "Chop-la-ma-ho" aka Chocolate Milk. She has really become interested in Potty training so we are taking on that as well. She has done amazingly. We are now in Pampers Easy-Ups and we are well on our way with potty training. After she goes potty, she says "Pwise" which means she gets a Prize for going potty.

Here are some recent pictures of Maddox:

We love to go on "rides" at Daddy's expense, of course

Helping Momma plant flowers

We found her this way when she woke up from nap...Love the hat :o)

Lukas has started talking more as well. He hasn't quite reached the full sentences, but he is definitely using & saying lot's of different words. "Let go" and "I did it" are words we hear often. Just recently he has started taking an interest in the potty...probably because he sees all the prizes his sister has been getting. He hasn't gone yet, but he has sat on the potty and tried which is good enough for me at a little older than 2. He has gotten so tall that he can reach just about anything on the counter tops, which drives me CRAZY! He loves to rough house with his sister, surprisingly she is usually the instigator but he is generally the "finisher".

Again at Daddy's expense :o)

NUTELLA SANDWHICH?!?!

CRAFT TIME :o)

Both of them are growing like weeds! We can't believe how big they are getting. They are so smart. We eat dinner together every night and they put their plates in the sink when they are finished and throw away any of their trash. Their favorite past time is playing outside in their sandbox or just being outside in general. We are super excited because Cody's parents helped us buy them a big swing set for the backyard. We haven't put it together yet, but they are going to be soo excited when it is put together.

WE are enjoying these days with the kids and can't wait to see what new things the future brings for our family. Right now, we are just loving the life we live everyday!
