Parker and Sydney update

Ok, so life these days is much busier than I ever imagined it would be. Whew!

Although as the kids get older they eat less often and they sleep for longer periods of time...their energy level is non-stop. I don't realize until after we get them in bed just how tired I really am. Thank God for a GREAT husband(Daddy) and a GREAT mom(Nana). Thank you both so much! GO TEAM!!!

Parker and Sydney are running and climbing and dancing all the time! They love music and Nana plays it a lot through out the day. They continue to show a love for books which we encourage on a regular basis. The dancing is so cute to watch. The more attention they get when they do it, the more they do it. I will try to catch some video of them dancing. They are speaking more words that you can actually understand. Parker's favorite word is "up". If he wants in, out, up, or down it is "up" and he really enunciates the "p" sound in "up". It is so cute. Their comprehension level is amazing these days and Sydney really enjoys showing this off. She follows directions so well. She also really helps when it is time to clean up, Parker cleans up sometimes too. As you can see from the video, Parker's new favorite thing to do is crawl inside boxes. He thinks it is his little fort. This is actually this morning. This is the few minutes of TV they get to watch while Nana finishes getting breakfast ready and I get ready to walk out the door. They clammed up after they saw the camera.

We have started to introduce them to the potty. They each visit the potty a couple times a day. Their pottys play music when they go in the potty. Parker makes it happen more than Sydney so far.

Sydney and Nana have a favorite song these days..."If You're Happy and You Know It". Nana pointed out today that Sydney does all the motions along with her. When it says "clap your hands", she claps her hands, when it says "stomp your feet" she sits down and stomps her feet. She even points to her mouth for the part where it says, "your face will surely show it".

Coming home to them is the best feeling in the world. They just run to you and give you the biggest hug and lots of kisses. They are these little people now.
