18 Months!

My babies are a year and a half!  How did this happen?  I still call them babies, but when I look at them, they are little girls rather than babies.  Such beautiful little girls.

 At 18 months:

• The girls can run - generally in opposite directions away from me.  They are also learning how to throw and kick.
• They love mega blocks, books (especially Goodnight Gorilla), Twinkle Twinkle Violet, and their blankets.
• They wave and blow kisses at every person and car they see from a distance, and they're getting a little more outgoing when it comes to meeting new people.
• They still love to point to dogs and birds and loudly proclaim, "da". This month they started saying up and ama (Grandma).
• They know that ducks say "quack", cows say "moo", and tigers say "roar".
• We're still dealing with major tantrums on a regular basis. We also have biting issues pretty frequently. I'm looking forward to them having a few more words.
• They love macaroni and cheese, any pasta, and pretty much all fruit. 
• They drink about three sippy cups of milk per day.
• They really like to use utensils.
• They wear size 18-24 month shirts and 12-18 month pants, size 4 diapers during the day and size 5 at night, and size 5 shoes.
• They love to "help". They like to throw their diapers away, and we've been working with them to pick up their books and blocks.
• They love to dump their mega blocks on the floor.
• They love to stand on their chairs and look out the window.
• They give fantastic hugs and are getting better at closing their mouths for kisses.
• They sleep from around 7:30 or 8 until about 8:30 am.
• Tannah has 16 teeth, and Harper has 12.

They are so much fun, and I am so, so lucky to be their mom.
