It's been a fun summer. The kids are just so much fun to be around, not to say that they aren't a lot of work as well. Between Storey's play groups, visitors, hanging out with the family and mine and David's work schedules, we tend to stay pretty busy, and the kids tend to get a lot of attention!
Clover signing all done.Clover is 11 months now, (CRAZY-I know) and, like with Storey, we started using signs with her from the beginning but then more heavily around 9 months. A couple of weeks ago she just started to sign everything. Now all I have to do is show her a sign a few times and tell her what it means and she's got it. Not only is it really cute, but it's so fascinating to communicate with a oneish year old. She does talk a bit as well, mama, dada, momo (my mom), nana (David's mom)bye bye, dog, that, ball, done, milk and more are the ones that come to mind. She definitely will be talking a lot earlier than Storey.
My grandma, Storey and Clover's GG (not one grandma or grandpa in the bunch for these kids...), came for a visit just recently and during her stay she decided that Storey was in need of a bike. Well, apparently he was. He loves his bike! He loves it so much that he wanted to stay home from one of his play groups (that he asks to go to everyday) just to ride his bike. The only thing that he doesn't love about his bike is sharing it. Oh well, we're working on it :) After a day of watching him ride it we decided that he'd do better without the training wheels that came with it and so he's on a two wheeler now. He's not just to the point of peddling (I'm told that's a 3-year old skill) but he enjoys riding it around anyway.
