The Post of Many Posts

Nicholas has started signing 'eat' and 'more' this weekend. This morning he was just walking down the hallway signing 'more', like he was just thinking about it (which I've read that kids can sign what they are thinking, not necessarily in context). Celia has started doing 'eat' more often as well - she does the sign 'baby' a lot too.
Nicholas was stacking blocks and I caught him as he was finishing (aka knocking them over). He was doing so well! He had stacks of 5 or 6 at a time. Celia has no interest in stacking the blocks - she prefers to knock them over. Then he showed me the sign for 'more' and 'eat.



It is BEAUTIFUL out today! 75 degrees, sunny and actually pretty hot! We might actually fill the baby pool with warm water later and let them splash around. Its actually warm enough for that! To think we had snow last week - lol.

We have our cat cage outside and this afternoon N&C crawled inside. Might be a nice way to contain them don't you think (of course, I'm KIDDING)! lol
p.s. today as I was hanging their cloth diapers on the clothes line I am feeling like one of those families I thought we never would become. The families with cluttered backyards full of children's toys!!!

Here Nicholas is with one of the Magna Doodles. These were baby shower gifts from their Aunt Lori and they really enjoy them. Nicholas thinks it is great when the screen gets erased. He will draw a line or squiggle and then give it to me to erase. Kind of like the kids who like to make one mark on a piece of paper and then get more paper (which is what Celia does with paper).

Yesterday Daddy was cleaning out the garage and N&C and I were in the house. They think its quite funny to pretend they are going to do somersaults. We just say 'put your hands down' and they get right into position for us to flip them over. lol

    It really is warming up there, it looks very nice out in your pictures! We need to get one of those kat cages - haha. Poor little Celia looked tired and sad to have her litttle kitty taken away. Kat reacts the same way if Brody even comes near her toys (and vice versa). And Nicholas is really doing great with his signing. He seems like he will be a very good student when he gets to school. Oh, and too funny about hanging your cloth diapers out to dry. You don't really see that in Arizona, I guess because there is too much dirt & dust everywhere!

    Great post Jill. Trying to remember if I ever could bend at the waist and put my hands flat to the floor! Too cute that they like to do somersaults. Seems like their colds are getting better... hope yours is too.

    Nicholas is doing so well with signs! Very impressive.
    I think we all have those yards (and living rooms) cluttered with toys. LOL But it's only temporary.
    Wow - from snow to 75 degrees! ENJOY!

    I'm telling you-- N&C just get cuter by the minute! I loved all of the photos and video from this post. I did start laughing watching the video when N stole C's blanket-- it reminded me EXACTLY of L&D. And the reaction from C is just like L!! Poor baby girls.

    Love those photos of them ready for somersaults. he he he
