Eating: They are trying to eat pretty much anything the other family members eat at this point – and lots of it! They are actually almost getting chubby 😉 They do still like to have that one bottle not long before bed, so for now we continue to let them have it. They are starting to drink whole milk out of their sippy cups better though (E used to look at us like we were trying to poison him) and by the time they are 18 mos I expect to have them weaned completely.
Playing: They are so fun to watch and really get into their play – literally! If they can possibly climb into the box they are getting their toys from (or the toy itself) they will – usually both of them at the same time, someone is always squished! It is so cute and very funny! We truly enjoy watching them and interacting with them. Recently they do seem to need quite a bit of direction from us too in order to stay out of a reasonable amount of trouble.
Music: They ADORE music!!!! E especially is VERY serious about his “groove”! The second he hears a beat of any kind he strikes a pose (which includes his little bottom sticking out while he leans forward) and starts to bob up and down – occasionally adding a couple of foot stomps or side to side rocking too! It is soooo funny. M tries too, and loves to listen to music, but isn’t quite as serious about one particular dance style as E.
Well, that about wraps it up for now!
