Life has gotten in the way of blogging lately:) It's been over 2 months since my last post and there is so much to say! We've been on vacation to the beach, done lots of fun day trips, been to birthday parties, and simply enjoyed our toddlers. Yes, they certainly aren't our babies anymore! They will be TWO in 5 days! It's a little sad to see them grow up so fast but they are at such a fun age these days:)
Paige is talking ALL THE TIME. You really have to watch what you say around her because you hear it repeated two minutes later. She loves her dolls and often feeds them, puts them to bed and pushes them around in their strollers. Books are one of her favorite things and she has started to memorize a couple of her favorites. We read them over and over and over:) Paige loves to jump, dance and sing. She can count to ten and knows most of her ABCs. We cannot believe how smart she is and what a joy she is be around.
Andrew makes us all laugh. He truly loves life and is full of energy. He is starting to talk more and more and is finally telling his sister what to do:) He loves to dance and asks for music constantly. You will often find him sitting behind our curtains, hiding, and "reading" his books. He loves Elmo, Cookie Monster and Ernie and has stuffed animals that he rotates through as being his best friend. He is the sweetest kid and is very affectionate with lots of hugs and kisses. You can't help but smile when you see his big blue eyes and bright red hair:)
We're planning a big second birthday this weekend with friends and family. It's themed after their favorite thing - Sesame Street! They both have been asking every morning when they wake up if it's "Elmo Party Day" for weeks. We're hoping it lives up to their high expectations:) For now, here are some pictures to tell you about some of the last two months. There are TONS more in the Picasa album (link below). And of course we'll post lots of birthday pictures next week.
