Nell 18 months

Nell has her own language, many words are intelligible and some are translator- required. She calls trucks we doos, and loves them!! When she loves something and wants more she'll tell "moi moi moi!". Her favorite food is grandma's chicken pot pie. 

She's definitely a little bit of a dare devil, loves to run away and climb things. She tires to hold her own on the playground with the grade schoolers!

Stats: 20 lbs 1 oz (10th percentile), 33 inches (85th percentile). She's a long lean string bean for sure.

Josie performs in the Llewelyn talent show

Josie and her kindergarten friend Maya were the only kids in the K grade who singed up for the whole school talent show. They even composed their own song! Adorable.

Bath time portraits

Here are some nice portraits of the girls at bath time.
I especially love how you can see Josie's freckles and dimples, she is such a beautiful girl! She recently lost her first tooth.
Nell is at the age where she requires constant supervision, she tends to be a bit of a danger to herself climbing up high and a nuisance constantly throwing things in the garbage can, the toilet and through the cat door. She has exploded in language and can say several dozen words, I have lost count now.

Halloween

She's growing... year in review

 Our tiny Nell is almost one year old. I took her picture one final time in the purple outfit... no way it was snapping closed. At 11 months she is cruising, into everything, and babbling constantly in her yodeling way.

Josie starts kindergarten

 Today was the highly anticipated first day of Kindergarten for Josie. She will be in Mrs. Ronyak's class at Llewelyn with 19 other kids. Her Schultute had a special notebook, a clicky rainbow pen, gum, a hamster eraser, glittery colored pencils and a tiny playmobil farm set. We had ice cream on the way home. All in all, a great day.
