So for some reason I am not able to post videos on blogger anymore from my MAC, so I can't show you what the kids are doing live, but I can at least share it on here since it's been a while. Caleb can now count to twenty and sing his ABC's (and other songs like Baa Baa Black Sheep and Jesus Loves Me and stuff like that). He is currently really into playing games on the computer (like Curious George games) and on the Ipod, and is still obsessed with throwing the baseball, tackling Daddy and catching the football and playing basketball after church at the gym with his friends. I think as soon as he is old enough to play t-ball, we're going to have to sign him up! He is fully potty trained during the day (we'll work on the night-time in the near future probably) and now sleeps in a big boy bed! Rachel has been walking for a few months now and is slowly attempting to run every now and then. Rachel's most recent milestones are coming in the form of language development. She is really starting to talk a lot more, saying duck, belly button, wa wa (water), ball, and a myriad of other things. Caleb was a late talker who didn't really start talking until 18 months or so, so it is interesting to us that Rachel is proving to be quite the gabber already! She also has really picked up on the sign language we have been teaching her. She can sign things like please, thank you, more, milk and all done. She of course is following Caleb everywhere he goes and really enjoys playing with her shopping cart/food, feeding her baby dolls and she really loves reading too. They are growing up SO fast! It's hard to believe that when Caleb was the age Rachel is right now (13 months), we were due to have a baby (Rachel) in 5 months. That would be like us having a baby at the end of January! Crazy! No baby no. 3 for us yet, but we're open to the possibility. Maybe sometime down the road, we'll have to see! Now, here are few recent pictures of the kiddos!
I love how much they adore each other!
Caleb showing off his "big boy pants"!
It will be interesting to see when Rachel potty trains. She is very interested the process. Caleb uses the adult potty (he never really used his froggy potty that we got him, he always wanted to do it the big boy way as he called it), so Rachel has tested out the froggy a time or two.
A pretty shot of Rachel after her last birthday party (thrown by her play group friends...it was her 4th celebration...what a blessed little girl)!
And a pic of Caleb right after I took the one of Rachel. Big smile!!!
