Walking and TALKING!

My babies are growing so fast! It's amazing how they learn things overnight. It's like the go to sleep, wake up and realize they know how to do something new. It's just awesome to see them experiment with things. They are actually talking now. Ok, well not talking but they can say some words and I find it truly incredible. Even though they were "preemies" they are right on track with most things. Spencer is a couple words behind, but we tribute that to 59 days in the NICU making sure he stayed alive. Good Job Spencer! Look at how far you've come...

Here are some words that my babies know:

Sophia knows how to say...

"ut-oh" usually this means "I dropped something I want and you need to pick it up before I start screaming.

"mama" referring to me, of course.

"dada" referring to Jim, of course.

"shoe" this is one of her favorites. Although we try to keep the shoes locked in the laundry room, she inevitably finds one, tries to put it on and brings it to you saying "shoe." Cute.

"Amy" her teacher at school.

"hi" This means, hello and how are you doing today?

"Thank you" She says thank you meaning thanks, and also please. She says it whether she's giving you an item or taking one from you.

I'm not sure how many words a kid should know at 15 months but I'm pretty sure she's a genius!

Spencer knows how to say...

"ut-oh" which means "I've really screwed up. Jocelyn can you take care of this before anyone finds out?

"mama" referring to me, of course.

"dada" referring to Jim, of course.

And that's about it for the little man. Although, it's very clear he knows what I'm saying to him. For instance, yesterday he was playing with his car (and a lamp). I told him "no" in a very stern voice on several occasions. I told him if he touched the lamp again, he would get a spankin'. He just looked at me, looked at his hand, one inch from the lamp and threw his car on the floor. Cute.
