cyber baby book

since i've been doing a horrible job filling out their baby books, i thought i'd at least write something about their lives and development here.

felix is saying tons of words, and stringing them together (pretty flowers, sister's lovey, papa's car, etc). sometimes he will even say three or four words together although the first couple might make sense together and the other ones are just add-ons because he likes to hear himself say new words. he will repeat almost anything. be warned.

and just in case i wasn't sure he's mine, every time i mention it's mealtime, he says "mac and cheese?"

he's really into being physical, like hugging and kissing and cuddling, and throwing and kicking, and truth be told, he also likes to butt his head against your leg... and sometimes the door.

i took him out the other day without juniper and he had fun, but kept asking for "sister" which is what he calls her. and when he was playing with my cell phone and saw her picture on the screen, he kissed it. it melted my heart.

juniper also misses felix and asks about him when he's not around. she calls him "cee cee." she's also very affectionate, and really easy going most of the time. but then, when she wants something a certain way, or doesn't want something a certain way, watch out. she will not back down. in the mornings, when i tell her it's time to get dressed, she comes over to the drawer and when i open it she zeros in on what she wants to wear and WILL NOT accept another outfit. some days, i'll at least be able to pull out a few weather-appropriate shirts and pants and have her choose between them, but she is very picky. and i have to say, i respect her for it.

she's super into pushing her baby doll around in a tiny doll-sized stroller, and sitting on people's laps while they read to her, and climbing the stairs like a big girl (while you hold her hand) and walking instead of being carried. she also loves to draw, and to tell you to draw things for her, especially pictures of cats. command: "draw. meow."

i'm forgetting lots of stuff, but since i plan on posting more often and adding more pics, i'll leave it at that.
