Luke

What's new lately?

Since Grandma and Grandpa weren't here for Tuesday with the twins I thought I'd post an update for them.

I am starting to hear "mommy" instead of "mimi" more and more now. . .and I heard a "g" in "doggie" instead of "didi" from Luke

This morning Amanda pronounced the L in Luke and yesterday she put on her own shoe.

First thing Luke said this morning (he was still in his crib) was "papa" and the first person Amanda wanted to sing Happy to this morning was "mama" I think they miss grandma and grandpa but also think they understand that they are spending time with Baby Carl in Montana (tana)

On Tuesday we took a walk and saw a dog named Ziggy. . .and Amanda started to talk about Lily. Luke has been very interested in the Good Night I Love You book which he calls Mouse. T'choupi has also been a favorite for both so mommy is going to try and track down more of those books.

Luke also used the Fisher Price bike which Ava handed down to us and kind of flipped it over onto the couch cushion when they were playing pillows. It was a total mountain biking move. Can mountain biking be in the genes???

A few weeks ago Amanda took magic marker and colored Hoppity's ears pink on the inside. . .check it out. . .

Daddy's Little Girl

A couple more tidbits from Daddy

After reading the last post, Daddy had a couple of other tidbits to add:

I love how Amanda thinks that she is outsmarting Mommy and Daddy. When it's time to go to sleep, as you are about to put her in the crib she says "Couch", "Bottle", "Moon". (Delay tactics)

Or the smile (sense of accomplishment) that Luke gives you when he succeeds in climbing something new (most often dangerous).

:) :) Almost 21 months now!

Cute little tidbits

So many cute things happen . . .but here are a few recent tidbits:
Luke was looking at a catalog cover and told Daddy that the lady on the cover was Mommy. What a compliment to hear you look like a model! He already knows how to woo the ladies :)
Amanda from time to time refers to grandma as Jo. I think she knows it is silly but it is probably one of the reasons she likes to say it
Luke can breakdance. I'll post a video soon.
Amanda takes after mommy in that she is very selective about what she is going to wear. Yesterday morning she insisted on wearing a yellow top which happened to be Luke's pajama top. It is a cute yellow top with a blue dog on it. Everything else I suggested was "no-oo!"
Luke & Amanda are both starting to count, in English and in French
Luke & Amanda love to color with crayons, markers and chalk
Amanda's hair is starting to get very curly, reminds me a little of Auntie Julie's hair when she was little! I'll post pictures soon.
Amanda LOVES pasta
Luke LOVES berries
Amanda's teddy bear has an itch
Luke LOVES Little Brown Bear

Night Night!

Good morning!
