Lily and Lukas

Lily amazes me everyday here are her newest accomplishments:

1. She can say about 25 words, and is beginning to say 2 word phrases like, bye bye dada, such a smart girl.

2. She can point to some animals, simple objects, in her picture books when asked "Lily, where is the ball?" Also knows a few of her body parts, eye, mouth, diaper..

3. She follows directions like, go put your diaper in the trash can for mommy.(she is so cute, she walks over to the trash can opens the door and drops the diaper in)

4. She has gone peepee in the little potty 3 times already, I cannot believe it, but she knows!

5. She really, really wants her legs to be long enough to ride Lukas's tricycle.

6. She has perfected, dramatically throwing herself on the ground, sobbing, face down in the carpet. Literally, I have to get it on video.

7. She blows "raspberries" on everyone, and thinks that it is just hilarious.

8. She holds the pen for the doodle pro perfectly, and in her left hand, she is my carbon copy.

Lukas's most recent accomplishments:

1. My little love started preschool! He did so well, he just ran onto the playground and started riding the tricycles, and didn't look back at me once, no tears, he had so much fun. He has made two new friends he talks about Mia, and Matthew.

2. Lukas's vocabulary continues to expand, he is notorious for dropping sophisticated words used prefectly in a sentance. His newest one was, "I'm overwhelmed, there are too many people here." While at a birthday party for Brett's brother last Saturday.

3. He is becoming much more tolerable of Lily, he has taken to telling everyone at preschool, this is Nilly, she is my sister, and now that she is talking he likes to tell her what things are, "that is an airplane Nilly, see the airplane, Nilly?"

4. Lukas can trace his name, and loves mazes, he is starting to color in the lines, and will acatually sit and color, I love it.

5. He is very, very musical he memorizes songs very quickly, he got on Trent's drum set and looked like a pro. At home he turns everything, everything into a drum...it is maddening. Piano starts at age 4, the Yamaha center will be ready for him in January.

6. He loves, loves the beach. he loves the waves, he is not the slightest bit afraid, he has a ball.

7. He is overall such a pleasant, joyful, happy little boy. I am very proud of him.
