I’ve been so tired. I can hardly stand to sit at the computer at night and try to figure out how to write a complete sentence so I apologize for the short blogs of mostly pictures. Here are some updates. It is not well written or organized and for that I’m sorry. Hope you enjoy reading about what the boys are doing, though.
Owen has begun to imitate me. When I cough, he’ll cough and then look at me and smile. I just figured out what he was doing a few days ago. I thought it was strange he coughed every time I did! I was showing him how to take a bite out of an apple. I guess I wrinkle my nose when biting an apple because when he tried to take a bite he did the same thing. He is quite the cuddler and loves to be held while he bounces up and down on my hip. He likes hugs and to snuggle on the couch. Owen is pretty smooth on his feet. He rarely falls and loves to run. Chase and Owen have been doing the cutest thing. They run after each other around the house. They just run from one room to the other and around the foyer. Owen is typically the leader. Chase is only 1 month into this walking thing and his little hips and feet swing out as he runs and his left arm swings out to the side too. They bump into each other and laugh.
Owen and Chase think it’s really cute to give kisses to each other. The other night they were both in Chase’s crib playing and they started to wrestle. I had not seen that before. They are both getting so smart, understanding so much of what we say. They get their shoes, coats, give items to each other when we ask (“Give Chase the milk”). They are also very needy. They like to be held or with us at all times. They love their shoes and sock still and think their mittens are pretty cool too-so far. Last night Chase had the Swiffer (yes, I let my kids play with household items), which he thought was so cool. Owen sooooo badly wanted it and he would just follow Chase around reaching every now and then for it, but not grabbing or whining. It was so sweet. He’s so patient like that.
Owen is very good at his fork now, likes to stab the food rather than use his fingers. Chase still likes fingers mostly. They ate a whole container of blueberries last night.
Owen slept until 7:00 today!! He was so tired last night. He was trying to play but was just so frustrated by everything that he was crying-poor guy. We took him up and put him to bed and he woke at 6:45! He needed it.
Chase is great at pointing to pictures in books. He is very interested in finding moons lately. He pointed to cow, dog, cat, bumblebee, bird and butterfly the other day. Sometimes I don’t think they are learning what I show them and then he goes and demonstrates that he is indeed learning. He did the sign for bird too, which I was very happy about. He also holds his hands up in a questioning manner when he wants to know where something is or is asking a question. I guess that comes from me saying “Where did it go?” about an object and using my hands in the same fashion he does.
Both boys have started to think “toots” are funny. When they toot they look at us and laugh. It’s pretty funny.
