We are trying..

SO MANY NEW THINGS LATELY! (Forgive the bad quality phone pictures, but my camera is in for maintenance!)

Like, trying to repeat EVERYTHING we say! I always say "Can mommy help you?" when they are frustrated and need help with something, so Lilly started demanding "Help you!!" when she needs help, and Nate says "Help please!" It sounds more like "Hep-peas!" SO CUTE. They are also getting really good at putting their shoes on all by themselves (no shoe laces, of course, but still)!

They have also been very good about brushing their teeth in the morning and at night every day! (Are we behind on this one? Whatever.. :) ) Sometimes we brush teeth in the bath to save time (they aren't really spitting yet so that's ok, right??)..

Every time they get done brushing their teeth, they MUST have a vitamin. You know, because we did it once or twice, so now we have to do it the EXACT same way every single time! CREATURES OF HABIT!

We are also trying a lot of sitting on the potty..

Unfortunately, we're not so sure how stuff gets from our body to the potty yet. Hmmmm...Some day..

Nate is trying to figure out how Daddy hits the ball with the bat..

He thinks it's so funny! He kept looking back at me and laughing every time Brian would hit the ball.

We are also trying to assert our individuality. Here, Lilly is modeling Nate's Elmo shirt combined with a pink skirt from last summer. Lovely!

SO cute in my sunglasses!! Can you see his little eye balls?!?

Lilly got this baseball hat of Nate's and put in on backwards herself. She had it on for a long time like that! She is also wearing mismatched pajamas because her diaper had leaked but I was too lazy to dress her for the day yet. Poor little ragamuffin!

Look at this cool table Daddy made them to drive their trains and cars on! I think I'm supposed to paint it now or something. That will be interesting!

They really have fun with it!
One of their favorite new things to do is open up every single drawer in their dressers and pull out all the clothes and throw them all over the floor!

One day last weekend it was a little too quiet in the house, so I went back to the bedrooms to find Nate in his chair reading my Sorority magazine... just paging through it like he was so interested.. Getting tips about how to be a successful woman.. :) SO FUNNY!
BTW, After I found Nate like this, I went next door into Lilly's room and she was sitting in her chair too. Just sitting there relaxing in the quiet (sucking on her fingers). It didn't last long, but it was very sweet!

Last but not least, I don't have any pictures of this, but our very favorite thing to do is DANCE! Lilly loves pop songs, mostly sung by girls. She just kind of moves her head back and forth, but Nate has got some serious rhythm. His neck starts going around and around and he starts "snapping" his fingers. UGH. It's the best!! It gets me laughing out loud every time.
