I've been so lazy, I haven't felt like blogging, but we have had some fun things go on here.

Last week I got my first pretty dandelion from Owen.  He gave it to me with the sweetest look on his face.

The boys' language has really started to explode with new words occurring daily.  My favorite is "oopsie", which is pronounced, "ooosie".  So cute!!  My dad taught them how to say "oofda" when they were at the hospital, very Scandinavian. They also use concept words like "half" and "piece".  It's amazing that they just come out of their mouths without us saying, "Say half".  The boys, Chase especially, have become very good with their numbers as well.  They can identify numbers up to 5 and can say most of them.  They run around counting things, saying, "two blankies," or "fwee grapes."  It's so sweet.  When asked how old he is Chase will now say, "two."  When asked how old he's going to be he says, "fwee."  When asked how old Owen is he says, "Owie".  He thinks you are asking what his name is. :)  We are working on that one.  Chase can show you with his fingers numbers 1-5 on one hand.  Owen will show you using both hands. We are working on showing 2 fingers with one hand.  He's just not as interested in it as Chase is.  They've been doing number for about 1 month now. 

Owen's hair has grown into a mop.  He's a very cute little mop head though, I must admit.  He has a little dent in his forehead from where he fell off the stool.  I wonder if that will go away.

The boys went to daycare today.  I guess they are able to go to the bathroom all on their own  . . . .there.  At home, it's another story.  I'm glad they show more independence at her house at least.
