Wow, time to update!


So in September we found out we were pregnant again. It's so hard to believe that 3 years ago, we were struggling to have children and now it seems we are playing catch up. It is a boy and will be here in May. I am excited, but don't know much about taking care of a boy!

Kimber is doing great. She started walking at about 13 months. Her language is incredible. She speaks full sentences at 18 months and knows how to count to 9. She also recognizes most of the letters of the alphabet. She will bring us books about the alphabet and name every one. She will also name all of the letter magnets on the refridgerator. Her favorite letter seems to be " W", which she calls "double". She can say Mommy, Daddy, Maddie, Evah, Grandma, cat, dog, apple, zebra, elmo, I don't want that, I want down right now, cup, milk, fries.  She follows Maddie around everywhere and they love to chase each other. She has joined Maddie at dance class and follows the teacher's directions very well. She can operate the ipad by herself. She is a good eater, and loves banana's, chicken nuggets, and to drink mom's coke. She loves Elmo and can name most of the characters on Sesame Street. She loves books and we read a lot. She is also helping Maddie potty train by wearing underwear on the outside of her clothes, and sitting on the potty.

Maddie is doing great. She recently stayed in the hospital overnight, which I think she thought was pretty cool. We've been dealing with her asthma and RSV, but seems to be on the recovery path.

Maddie is a very sweet girl who's language is exploding. She speaks full sentences, knows all of the alphabet, and can count to 14 and 2 and a half.  She loves to play with little toys. She will line them up and she's starting to make her toys talk. She loves dolly's ( barbies), princesses,jungle animals, and most of all, dinosaurs.  She is becoming very independant and has her own personality. She knows all of her shapes and will point them out in a real world environment. I often have to boast to myself that she knows as much as many of my four year old students at school, yet she is half of their age. We are working on her potty training.
