Catching Up.....

I think I am caught up for the most part with the life of Anna and Max. As mentioned in an earlier post, they are learning more words each day and are really enjoying playing together. Here is a picture of them playing with their Little People animal zoo. It is one of the things that they really enjoy playing with at the same time and I find it to be very sweet. They love to ask what the animals are and can now say some of the animal names and make noises like quack, moo and roar. Although, most of the animals appear to make the roar noise if you ask Anna or Max.
This morning while reading a book to Max he pointed to the sock in the book and then touched the sock on his foot and said "sock". I was so excited that he not only said the word but made the connection that they were the same thing. Another exciting new word and connection came from Anna when she picked walked to garage door (they each get to put their own dirty diaper in the garbage after changing them) with her dirty diaper and said "garbage". I know that all children will learn to talk but it is just so exciting for me to watch the process.

I agree, it's an absolutely fascinating process and so much fun to watch them learn, speak and put things together!

Piper growls for every animal sound. She even growls when you ask her what a mommy says. It's hilarious. Your blog is really sweet. :)

ooh, I haven't tried giving mine their diapers to take to the garbage. I'm going to give that a go tomorrow. How clever you are to teach them that.

Max is so clever realising that the book had a sock picture and he was wearing one.

We alway thought that Max and Anna would talk early. Grandparents like to brag and Max and Anna have earned their bragging rights.
