15.5 months

So we are a little behind this month...we did learn a lot of stuff over the past month and a half. Unfortunately Mommy did not keep track of everything as well this time so we will see what all gets recorded. Daddy made us a new table at the beginning of March.

Here we are supervising the project

Daddy didn't follow her directions

 

Enjoying our table

We stil need to stain the table so we can actually start using it.  We also cleaned out the garden and planted our seeds for this year.

We don't like to stay in our high chairs for very long now while we are eating. Maybe 5-10 minutes then we are ready to get out so we start throwing our food on the floor, but after we get out of our chairs we are still hungry and try to eat our food off the floor.  One of the many reasons Mommy felt it was time to make us a table...Mommy and Daddy have a counter height table and they worry we might fall from that one.

Mommy finally took us to the Dr at the beginning of March to check on our coughs that I swear we have had all year along with our periodic runny noses. Turns out the Dr said we have allergies...Mommy said she was sorry and that we get it from her side of the family. We were prescribed 5 medications and Mommy had to go to 3 different pharmacies to get everything.

Uncle Billy &Aunt  Kris came with the kids at the beginning of Spring Break. Their trips never seem to be long enough, but we really enjoyed the time we got to spend with them. Mostly we just hung out at the house, but we did make one trip to the park with them and had a blast.

Swinging is so much fun

Logan LOVES to swing

We have actually thought about buying a swing and attaching to the ceiling inside the living room...I really think he would sit in it all day. 

Grandma and Aunt Cyndi came just after the others left. Mommy enjoyed the help and company for an entire week. We had big plans for projects to get done, but most of the projects went undone...just enjoyed time with the family. We did some yard work and that was plenty of work.

We have a lot of new toys lately. We have a slide with a basketball hoop, we got some mega and Duplo blocks. For Valentine's Day Grandma bought us some golf clubs and bubbles. We really like bubbles and try to pop them with our fingers. Mommy finally broke out the wooden alpha blocks for us that we mostly just dump out. Mommy is trying to start doing simple crafts with us, but there is only so much we can do right now. We took some construction paper and finger painted with some water and enjoyed that, but until our table is finished we probably will not do too many more crafts. We have also started coloring some. While Grandma was here Mommy printed a picture of us to color and we sent it to Uncle Stephen in Afghanistan.

We LOVE our slide

This drawing inspired the need for crafty activities...thanks for the drawing Logan

Our 15 month appointment got pushed back to the 22nd so we finally made it in and there were only 2 shots this time. We tied on the scale at 25 lbs 4 oz each. Logan measured 33 inches and Alyssa at 31.5 inches. I can't believe how close they are getting to 3 ft already.

We are both cutting teeth right now. Logan is working on 13 and 14 and Alyssa is working on 7. While Grandma was here we learned how to fold our arms. We also have caught on since then that we are supposed to bow our heads while we say prayers too. We are getting better every night during prayer time. Logan is even sitting down to pray and he starts to fold his arms when we bring out our scriptures to read. Alyssa knows how to fold her arms, but is not a willing as Logan right now. We do blink, nod, and clap all the time now. Mommy is always trying to get us to answer whether or not we want something instead of just giving it to us. We have become much more affectionate this past month and a half. We give hugs and kisses all the time. We give them to Mommy and Daddy and each other and even our friends from time to time. We have some new baby friends and Alyssa is just mesmerized by them. Everyone always asks is she is around babies a lot since she does so well and tries to play carefully with them.

We are MONKEYS....no I take that back we are SILLY MONKEYS.

We climb on EVERYTHING. Mom has had to do some rearranging again. No more barstools at the island and all of the kitchen chairs must be pushed under the table at all times. We now have 2 barstools locked away in the office. We also have to tuck the chair under the desk or we get into a lot of things we should not. We still get stuff off the dining table, but we really on not climbing on that one yet. We also like to try and climb into the desk cabinet and close it behind ourselves. We keep really busy.
