- Brody is still in a size 4 diaper.
- I think the last time he was weighed he was around 23 pounds.
- Brody got his top canine (I guess that's what they're called?) teeth at 18 months and his bottom ones at 19 months. I haven't checked to see if he has his molars yet because it takes a lot of effort to check way back there!
- Brody added 4 more signing time DVDs to his case. He loves learning about ABCs, Colors, and Family, Feelings, & Fun!
- Brody knows ALL of his letters and can identify them and the sound they make! - He has us write letters on his magnadoodle, plays with his letter magnets on the fridge, loves to take a bath with his foam letters, and pretty much identifies letters whenever/wherever he sees them!
- Brody knows his numbers from 1-20 but when saying/counting he can only go up to 10. He loves to sign the numbers above 10 but has a hard time saying them clearly and counting consecutively that high.
- Brody has started singing! It's the cutest thing. He'll sing along to his DVDs, songs on the Kindle, and Bible songs. The song he sings most often is "If You're Happy and You Know It." It sounds like "Happy (clap, clap), Happy (clap, clap), Feet (stomp, stomp)". He also likes "The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock" and "This Little Christian Light of Mine".
- Brody uses an app on our Kindle to access YouTube videos. He has found some random ones and he LOVES them! He loves to watch a dog pop balloons, Barney, Elmo, Signing Time, "Apples and Bananas" song, ANY alphabet song, the Alphabet Train and Number Train, songs about colors, and a song that plays the days of the week.
- He's talking a lot clearer now and I'm sure very soon we'll wake up and he'll be talking non-stop! Some Brodyisms are - He says and signs "wolf" for "waffle", when he wants "ice" he signs "ice cream", When he wants to watch Kermit he says "Ka" and then puts his hand out palm up. I don't know where he comes up with these signs, but he's also made up a sign for Barney where he says "Ba" and shakes his fist by his head. Dora is "Da" and Charlie Brown is saying and signing "Brown" :) He also likes to watch The Cat in the Hat and says "Cat Hat".
- He naps from around 2pm-4pm and sleeps from 10pm-8am.
Karlee has turned 3 weeks old! She doesn't have as many milestones! :)
- She has moved up to a size 1 diaper
- She has started making noises other than grunts and cries, but no real "coos" yet
- She has smiled a time or two, but not consistently enough to say she's doing purposefully
- She sleeps pretty normally at night. She wakes up about every 3 hours. That's one of the hardest things about newborns! I can't wait until she's sleeping through the night. It makes everything else so much easier when everyone can get a good night's sleep! :)
