Stuff the Twins Do

Here are some of the things the twins do. Some are new and some are not so new.

Twins:

• They no longer have any bottles. All of the milk they get now comes from a sippy cup.
• The kids do art projects at school and often with finger paints. When I see the art work, I can always tell who painted it. Caroline's art looks like she loved it and went crazy all over the page. Caden's art is always more deliberate and controlled.
• At day care, the twins take naps in cribs next to each other. Surprisingly, Caroline wakes up first and uses her blanket to wake up Caden. She throws her blanket onto Caden, whips it around a little, and pulls it back. The teachers watch her do it everyday and laugh.
• The kids love playing with phones. They hold it up to their ear, or more like the back of their head, and talk.

Caroline:

• Caroline stands up. She can do so for around twenty seconds.
• Caroline loves "Lightning McQueen". She climbs on and off it and pushes it all around the house.
• Amy will say a word (cow, ball, Elmo, etc) and Caroline will go find that item. Even if it is not visible, Caroline knows how to look for it and find it. She is very happy to show off the item when she finds it.
• Caroline loves saying "cow." She has a little cow toy that moos. We also have a little duck toy. Caroline loves imitating it by saying "quack quack quack quack." The "q" sounds a little bit more like a "w" sound but it is pretty close.
• Caroline has two crawling speeds--normal and turbo. The turbo speed is very fast and could probably out run her mom.
• Caroline loves sleeping. She is sooooo easy to put down and is on a very nice schedule.
• Caroline is a good little eater. Her favorite is any fruit we give her.

Caden:

• Caden says "Daddy" clear as day. He normally says "da da" but he can definitely say "Dad-dy."
• Caden also says "hello." It sounds a little more like "ello" or "ella" but it is still very cute. He loves saying it when he answers the phone.
• Caden loves talking and will make sounds for hours on end. He mainly does it when it is just the four of us.
• Caden still has a gimpy leg crawl but he gets around the house very well.
• Caden pulls himself up and can walk around holding onto things.
• Caden is getting better at eating but is still pretty bad at it. He loves his cheerios, bread, and cheese.
