New accomplishments

Tonight Celia said her name!!! We were helping her and Nicholas draw Thank You cards for Christmas presents and I was helping her write 'Celia' on her card. I asked her to say 'Celia' and she did! Its not super clear, but its an excellent attempt! Here she is on video saying it once.


And another cool thing was that when Nicholas was drawing on his Thank You cards he took his time and drew a lonnnngggg red line and then looked at me and said 'ssssss' (which means snake). Then he drew a smaller line next to it and said 'baby'. I was so pleased to see him purposely draw this way and that he understood that mommy is bigger than baby (we've been practicing this in the 'Time for Bed' book). In the video clip he doesn't point to the original mommy and baby snake but they are on the left side of the card.


And some funny pictures of them playing in the laundry basket. Jason will do these fun things with them, like carrying them in the basket. Then they come to me and say "mommy?", which means in toddler translation, "Mommy now its your turn to do what Daddy just did!". Unfortunately I tell them only Daddy can do those things. lol



Also...
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!!

  2. That video of Celia is so stinkin' cute. I love her facial expressions and sweet smile. That is precious! And too cute that Nicholas is doing that with the snake on the paper. What a smart boy! Do they say baby when they point to your belly? Brody has started that recently, even though I don't think he gets it. It's so exciting all the new things that they are learning!
