what's going on around here

Here are some things that the twins have done, said, or are into nowadays.


-Izzy was playing with her baby on Friday night and she put her baby on the couch then she pretended that a play bottle of ketchup was lotion. She "shook" out some lotion on her hand then rubbed her hands together and rubbed her hands on her hair and arms then onto her baby. She then got a spoon and a cup and started feeding her baby. So wish I had had a camera!

-The dogs were barking at a person walking down our street. Izzy ran over to me, pointed out the window and said "Who dat?". First time she has ever said this and it took me by total surprise.

-Matt trimmed his beard Sunday morning, after he got in the shower Avery picked up his trimmer and started shaving his face. Luckily he doesn't know how to turn it on, yet anyways.

-We were over at Matt's parents house Sunday to watch the Bears play and it was during the twins' morning nap so we set up their pack and plays in a back bedroom. Avery woke up first so we shut the door so Izzy could keep sleeping in peace (meaning keeping Avery from waking her up). We were in the living room and heard a knock. Went back to the bedroom and there was Izzy. She had climbed out of her pack-n-play and was knocking on the door to get out. She really is getting too big!

-They love to go for walks, especially when we let them take their babies in the strollers.

-We went to my mom's house to visit the other day and we decided to take my mom's dog for a walk. Izzy really wanted to hold the leash and since Zoe is a chihuahua she could handle her. It was so cute and Izzy really took this resposibility seriously, even letting Zoe know when she wasn't supposed to do something, like eat garbage on the road. Avery on the hand really doesn't have the attention span for this and kept dropping the leash when something caught his attention, which was really cute in its own right. Love my boy and his ever wandering mind, he definately keeps up on our toes.

-Avery is addicted to the book "Brown Bear Brown Bear". He has read and seen it so many times now that if you ask him where the red bird, yellow duck, green frog, etc are he will point them out to you. Of course he could also know these things because he is a really smart little man too!

-Avery knows where the park is from our house. So now if we are outside or even in the car he points in the direction of the park and will scream to go to the park. I have even gone so far to go a different route home but he still knows where it is and insists on letting me know and crying to go there. It is really hard to deceive a child who is too smart for his own good!LOL!


On another note, we had both kids assessed by a speech therapist and developmental therapist through our states Early Intervention. Both kids will be getting speech therapy because they both assessed at 31% behind for their age. They did not assess low enough for developmental therapy though. Avery is going to be reassessed by the developmental therapist in 6 months to see how he doing because he was very close to 30% behind. I have a feeling he tested so low because he really had no desire to do what the therapist wanted him to do but he is totally capable of doing everything she asked him to do. He can be bit stubborn at times.LOL!

Well that is all for now. I'm sure I will think of more things and type them up as soon as I can.
