Our lovable duo are officially 1 1/2 years old as of yesterday! I can't believe it! Here are some pictures that we took to commemorate our special day...
Every six months, we mark the boys' height on their bedroom closet door frame. They started off at the exact same height at birth and check out where they are now. Benjamin's marks are on the left and Bryce's are on the right. The giraffe is about 5 feet tall to give some perspective :) Getting them to stand straight with their backs flat against the door frame was no easy task. Hopefully, it'll be a little easier at two years!
Our big boy Benjamin...
Looks like Bryce is saying, "If I close my eyes, maybe mommy will stop taking my picture."
Coincidentally, yesterday also marked our first "coloring on the furniture" incident...
We've been very lucky that the boys are still taking two naps a day, but for the last few days, they've been taking turns not wanting to take one of their two naps. I'm afraid we may be going down to one nap very soon! Here is Benjamin cuddling with daddy while his brother is napping...
Last week, we also started working on self feeding, mainly with yogurt and apple sauce, which they eat everyday. Training would go a lot smoother if the boys weren't so silly!
Yay, Bryce!
Good job, Benjamin!
Perhaps blueberry apple sauce isn't the best thing to practice with! Good thing they have blue shirts on...
Bryce isn't as excited about self feeding as Benjamin...after a while, he just preferred to hold the cup :)
Apparently, the boys have seen me on my cell phone way too much because we found Benjamin saying "hi Oma" into a hand held electronic game!
He made another call from his plane...
Dad being attacked...
Bryce playing with daddy...
This one must have been a private call since he took it to the hallway...
"So many calls to return!"
Happy 1 1/2 year birthday, my sweet boys!
Update written the next day:
The boys had their 18-month checkup today and here are their measurements...
Weight: Bryce 24lbs 6oz (35%), Ben 25lbs 3oz (40%)
Height: Bryce 31 3/4 in (45%), Ben 32 1/2 in (65%)Head Circumference: Bryce 19 in (75%), Ben 19 1/4 in (90%)
Also, I wanted to list a few of their milestones...
-They both say two word phrases now like "hi oma, mommy's teeth, and no Elmo"
-Bryce started saying three word phrases as of this morning! He said, "all done poo poo" and "cheerio in cup"
-They've learned to say "please" which comes out sounding more like "peas" :)
-They sometimes say "cheese" when they see me with my camera (without looking at the camera, of course)!
-They can now walk backwards...which I heard was a big milestone developmentally :)
