kiddos update

So considering it's been forever and a day since I updated about the kids, I figured I'd better do it now.

Stephen is almost 3 now! June 7th baby. I can't believe it's gone by as fast as it has. Really doesn't make any sense. He talks in sentences and knows far too many words for his own good. He can count on his own up to 8 I think (or maybe it's ten, I'm not sure). He knows ALL his ABCs. Knows his colors and shapes too. James has been a very good teacher. ♥

He is still ridiculously obsessed with Cars. Sadly (though I'm not really crying over it), he broke the DVD about a month ago so we've been mostly Cars free. He still has to sleep with his toy cars at night though. Not to mention, he finally got in a big boy bed about two months ago and he ADORES it. It's a giant red racecar Tikes bed, which takes up over half of his tiny room but we don't even care. Both kids love it so much, how could we say no to that?

For the most part, he gets along well with Audrey. He's not very good at sharing his favorite toys though (which at the moment, is the umbrella stroller. Yeah I don't get it either).

He also has a "girlfriend" at church, Vickie. They both love each other and he's constantly giving her hugs and saying "I love Vickie." But what makes it even more hilarious is that Vickie has a younger sister who is like her mini-me. Her name is Lizzy but Stephen just calls her "Baby Vickie" or "Little Vickie". :)







See, he's pushing a baby doll and his mac truck in the stroller. ♥

Audrey's growing up quickly too! She walks EVERYWHERE. And she talks a lot, more than Stephen ever did at this age. I don't think he even said dada and knew what it was till 16-17 months. Audrey's 16 months now and she's been talking steadily for a month. I think she's up to maybe 10+ words? Here's the list (at least what I can remember, she learns fast):

mommy
dada
hi
hello
bubble
ball
baby (her fav word)
Elmo (her 2nd fav word)
duck
fish
chicken
cookie
papa

She goes to the high chair to tell you she's hungry and to the front door to tell you she wants to go play outside. She's OBSESSED with babies. Real or dolls, doesn't matter she loves them all. It's hilarious.
