These babies are growing and growing before my very eyes. I have been meaning to make an update as to what they're into these days.
Sophia (or "Pia") as she calls herself is a big talker these days. She'll probably be our "informant"....ha ha. But that's good, every family needs one. :) She's so smart and has quite the sense of humor! She likes to play the "what's your name" game. I ask her what her name is and she makes up something silly (and after saying it of course giggles non stop) Then I ask what Jacob's name is, my name, etc...and she makes up whatever funny sounds she can come up with. Every day they are different. It's so hilarious. Her favorite tv show: "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" bar none. We have come to know Mickey & the gang quite well....she requests this show all day and even will tell me which episode to put it on. I love, love, love watching her when the show starts. She sings the intro song, especially "role call". And I love how she says "Oh DADA" (just to be funny...instead of "Oh TOOTLES") She keeps us laughing and she knows it.
She just said "I love you" for the first time a few days ago....we were reading "
How a Dinosaur says I love you" and the very last page says something like "...and that's how a dinosaur says I love you" She'd say that last part out loud and ever since we read that book, she started responding to me at bedtime with: "I yava you, Mommy". That makes my night, each and every time :) And speaking of bedtime....every night after prayer....she starts singing (kinda shouting actually) "God Dess da MOON, God Dess MEEEEE!" (The actual song/prayer goes like this: "I see the moon, the moon sees me...God Bless the Moon, God Bless Me") :-) Her version is the cutest! Sweet, smart, beautiful Sophia! I "yava you", baby girl.
Jacob Thomas....Mr Thomas....my sweet lil man...what can I say? He's a cutie and a lil clown! He too, has become very chatty, practically overnight. A few of my favorite things he says right now: "Iss hard to dooooo" (when he does anything slightly strenuous), "Dada wong way!" (if Dada ever turns a different way going to work as we watch out the window)....and "Kay". This boy does not say "yes", he says "kay." I asked Jacob tonight (since he doesn't say it out loud yet) if he loves mommy...he said "Kaaaaaaaaay" :-) If I were to ask him if it's raining outside (and it is) he would say "Kay." I don't know where he came up with that, but I love it. I'm ok if he never says yes in his life, just "kay" :)
He still signs a lot, in fact, most of the time when he's talking, he will sign the words he knows. His memory really impresses me. The other day I started singing "My team and I play football..." (Signing time song) but I couldn't remember how to sign "practice". I asked Jacob if he remembered & he did, he showed me. I looked it up (just in case) and he was right! I thought that was amazing given we hadn't seen the episode that showed us this word in months. He also sings and signs "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" very well and if we're singing the ABC song...his hand is moving as if he's signing the letters. Smart boy...if I do say so myself! Like Sophia, he likes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, another favorite is Thomas the Train (we typically watch that on staggered nap days when Sophia is sleeping...then he can actually enjoy it). He *loves* the movie "Cars", too. (He especially loves watching it with Daddy while eating a bowl full of popcorn. :-) This lil man gives the best hugs and kisses and is mama's silly, sweet boy.
So much more to write but that'll have to wait. Mama's gettin to bed! Just want to say one last thing: to my lil angels. "We have no idea what tomorrow has in store, but today, from the bottom of my heart, I love you.
Always and forever."
