Her sentences are getting longer.

"That ladybug is red. It's NOT blue. It's NOT orange."
"Daddy, you stink. You should think about taking a shower."

Kiki's leaping into language!

"Where's daddy, anywheres?"
"I'm scared of the dark. Turn on light?"
"I don't like that playground. It's boring."
"I want friends. Uncle's my friend."
"Rowan's a tunky (chunky) monkey. This is tunky monkey's toy."
"Good singing, mommy."
"I good time with MJ"
"Kiki shirt has big dog on it" (her shirt did have a big dog on it)

My Thing 1 and Thing 2

I don't know why I get such a kick out of dressing them alike -- they're as different as night and day -- maybe because of it. Anyway, I happened to find PJ's in roughly the same color for each of them in the drawers, so: Good Times!!!

These days, I've been putting Rowan and Kiki to bed next to each other. I'm hoping each other's presence will wean them off of having to have either Scott or me next to them while they sleep. And they're so cute to boot.

Of course, it doesn't take long for one of them to pee, poo or spill food on the PJ's, so one night of matching was all I got.

I couldn't resist the naked baby shot. Rowan just LOVES taking a bath. He splashes and laughs in water in a way that he never does in mere air. There's a video of him here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMQ4vInLisc


In a rare moment of side-by-side peace, even Rowan was aware of the precious moment. (Kiki, not so much.)


Actually, I think Kiki felt a lack of something. A certain je ne sais quoi. Would that think be her favorite toy...Rowan's ear?!?!?


Kiki finally opened her last birthday present. It was on her birthday Feb 24th. Rowan helped open it. Two very pretty summer dresses from gram.


I'm sure they'll look a lot more summer-y once I take her t-shirt off from underneath.


Welcome to the world of toddler arts and crafts. Where I do all the arts and crafts, and Kiki toddles.
