18 Months!!

The girls are officially a year and a half old!! This last month has been a lot of fun and extremely busy!! The girls will have their official 18 month Dr's appointment on the 20th of this month, and that is when I will have all of their up to date stat's, including height, weight and any other updates.

The girls vocabulary is exploding! They both have well over 60 words each and counting. It grows on a daily basis. The clarity of most of their words is truly amazing! I am constantly surprised by random words they mange to pick up. Just the other day we were reading one of their favorite Elmo books and out of nowhere, Kylee pointed and said "Alligator" (it actually sounded more like Aa-yee-gato), and she was right! On another day we were outside and the girls heard an airplane overhead and both of them instantly pointed to the sky and said "Airplane" (pronounced Ayy-pane). Now, everytime we are outside they are on the hunt for Airplane's, and if they can't find them they tell me "Ayy-Pane Night Night".

The girls have become VERY attached to each other. If they are not within an eye or ear shot of each other, they go searching for their "Sissy". Today Kylee woke up from her nap about 30 minutes before Kaylyn, and she spent the entire time looking for her Sissy. Kylee could not have been happier when Kaylyn finally woke up and was back with her.

We have been keeping busy with lots of fun activities!! Some of their favorite's are:

• Books (Lots and Lots of reading here!)
  
• Blocks (Mega Blocks and Wooden Blocks)
• Stickers
• Coloring
• Playing outside (Sandbox, water table, slide and play house)
  
• Dancing (both at home and at Dance Class)
  
• Chasing the Cat and the Dog all over the house
• Playing with their Baby dolls
