They are becoming toddlers!

The boys are growing so fast. Every day they are acting and look more like toddlers. It's crazy to think about how much time has past by.

Jacob will now show you his nose whenever you ask. Jasper still selectively shows when you ask but he knows where it is as well as his head. I'm working on ears with them too.

Joy has rearranged the house again. This time making the living room more accessible. We can all get to the couch now. The boys have done well at not falling off the couch and sometimes they just sit on the couch.

The other night, Jacob enjoyed a nice sitting on the couch session playing with my iPhone. I don't know how he open it up but he was writing emails.

The dinning room however has been reduced to a table and high chairs. The chairs and computer have been removed. The boys were climbing the chairs and trying to get on the table. The computer was moved after they were beating the printer with blocks and once removed they could easy get to the computer.

Bedtime has gotten a lot better. They like when I come in to read to them. I usually read to them till they fall asleep. They have both been doing a great job at sleeping through the night. Usually if anything I go in there to give them a bottle and then walk out around 3 or 4am.

Last night, Jasper started running in place. Joy stated running in place too. He got a kick out of it. Then Jacob and I stared running in place. I then started jumping and Jacob started jumping. Joy responded with "they're not supposed to be able to do that yet." They are smart.

Baby time

Wednesday we took the boys to Baby Time at the Northwest library. We thought this would be a good opportunity for the boys to interact with other kids their age and also a chance for us meet some parents.

I signed up a month prior to ensure that we would get in incase it fills. When I signed up, we were the first to sign up.

When we arrived we were the only ones there. We waited around to see if more people would show up but no. It was just us and the librarian.

The boys had a really great time though! The librarian sang rhymes/songs to them, read them a story, played with puppets, marched around the room, and gave the boys shakers. The boys loved the shakers.

I can't remember if it was a story or song but one of the things the librarian did was point to her nose and other parts of the her body. We pointed either with our their hands or our hands on the boys on their bodies.

So the next day, Joy was working on getting the boys to point to their nose and say "nose." Joy said Jasper did it and said something similar to nose. Jacob did really good at pointing to his nose at dinner and when I took them for a walk at the park.

I'd say that even though we didn't get the inactions that we hoped, baby time was a success. It was really nice to get the boys into the library and to interact with the librarian. The boys had a great time and we learned a thing or two. Joy brought home the sheet with the rhymes on them to read to read to the boys.
