While it may seem our kids have fallen off the face of the earth because it's been an ice age since I posted last, in fact, Logan and Lyric are doing pretty well, if you discount the fact that Logan still thinks his sister is a toy, ignore the whirlwind tantrums and Hot Wheels car-throwing, tune out the screeching of Lyric at 4am for no apparent reason, and forget the unceremonious dumping of Cheerios from their box onto the carpet (got that one on camera!)...I mean, they're both pretty darn cute, so in the end, that just wins out.
Lyric is desperately trying to walk these days. She cruises so fast that she sometimes just glides into a wobbly walk--then, plop, on the floor. She stands up to try again, and maybe she'll eek out a few funny unbalanced steps--then, plop, once more. Logan could take it or leave it, the fact that she's trying to walk. He's more interested in making sure she has her scratchy blanket for bed, checking she hasn't swiped one of his cars, or letting us know she needs some "moo-me" when she cries. She talks a bunch, too, now--and she's as good an eater as Logan. She had artichokes the other day--loved'm. She'll eat just about anything you put in front of her--or anything that's on the floor, like leaves and week-old Cheerios and dog food (yes, we're constantly ushering her away from danger!). We haven't tried sardines, yet, but we will :)
Logan is really a little man now. I know that because he can point down at himself and say with utter confidence, "testicles." That's a sure sign of growth. He also can identify his numbers and letters. He recognizes cool shapes like "octagon" and "hexagon." What's neat is that he points out these things even out of context--he'll point to some shape on the side of the road or on the cover of a book and tell us what it is. He also likes making letters with blocks and cars and trains. The other night we made a bendy line of Lego choo-choos. "What's that," I said. "J," he said. And it was true, the bent line of trains had formed a kind of long J. What he really excels at though is counting. He counts everything--he can get up to twenty (skipping fifteen for some reason).
Here's some pics and stuff. Cheers...
