Well we are officially into the New Year now. Crazy how time flies so fast. January is half over already. I can't believe it. So we had a great end to 2008, Missy came to visit us and spend the New Year. We had such a great time together and it was so great to have her here to see the kids. I am so glad my girls got to spend that time with their Yima. Rachel still talks about Yima every once in a while. And when she makes "phone calls" on her pretend phone, she calls her Yima. So cute.
The twins recently had their 15 month check up and they are both doing great right on track with their language development, each saying three words and actually now Lauren is saying even more. Some of her favorites are "Hi, momma, daddy, ball, shoes and peak a boo" I am not sure how many others would understand all of those, but I certainly do. It is so great to watch them learn new things. Elizabeth is saying "Hi, momma, daddy, and gink for drink" Both girls have learned to sign please and drink. I am thankful for that. They also love to go to time out now, so crazy, but they immediately sit in their time out spot and love to get a hug afterward and say sorry. In fact, it turns into everyone giving everyone else a hug everytime. Hey at least they do their time outs I guess.
Rachel is growing so great too. She is still a light weight, weighing only 4 pounds more than Elizabeth. Rachel has full comversations with me now. She is practically my best friend some days :) She totally picks up everything I say (including tone which sometimes I am not proud of) But the cutest thing is the way she cares for her sisters. Just today Lauren was sad and crying in her stroller so Rachel came up to her and said "I know, I know...hold my hand" and the proceeded to make her hold her hand. It was so sweet. She was genuinely trying to care for her. I love those moments.
Other moments going on as the girls are getting older. One is the discontinuance of the pacifier. I thought I would need to be dependent on them for a while yet, but Dana and I decided it was too difficult just to keep track of them, so we threw them away this morning. Last night was the girls first night without paci's and all day today. For the most part they didn't really miss it too much. Hopefully, I will make it through the day tomorrow without them :)
Rachel is so ready to potty train, but sometimes I think I am not ready. What an undertaking it is...so intimidating. I sometimes think, "how is Rachel supposed to remember to go to the bathroom, when I can't remember to get her there!?" Anyway, I am sure it will come in time. She is definetly ready and we are getting started I guess. But I am not ready quite yet! I think I need to get through the paciless phase first :)
Anyway, that is as much of our life as I acan post here now. Catch ya later.
