and I want you both to know how absolutely cute you are:
Jud you are still not walking, but it's okay because you say "duh" at the Rubber Duckie. Plus, you sporadically say "buh" and wave farewell. And it is pretty cool when I ask where Jake the Monkey is and you go looking for him. Throwing yourself on the floor when you're tired is pretty dramatic, but very effective. When your are sixteen and want to use the car, you may want to consider nuzzling your big head on my shoulder and snuggling with me...but please when I ask for a kiss, close your mouth! You have a lot of charm which will only get you so far in this world...so let's hope your body has caught up with your noggin or better yet, that the size of your skull is an indication of your brain power! At your 12 month checkup, you hit the 50th percentile for height and weight (actually lost a pound, probably because you're such a fast crawler and a busybody), while that massive cranium was off the chart. Anyway, keep rockin' little man, we love you!
Scarlett we have our ups and downs because you ARE four...and thanks for reminding me today, it kind of simultaneously melted my heart and made me feel horrible when you said "Mooom, you know I'm just a kid, you don't have to yell and scream at me" (even though THIS time I had not done either). You are a very independent girl with such a big heart. I'm not sure if you just like or really love things because you don't really differentiate...you only love or not. For example, you once broke my heart when you said that "*Hannah doesn't love me." Or you say "I don't really love green beans." You are happy to play by yourself, but you almost always have a stuffed buddy with you. I sense a competitive spirit in you...yeah, I know, duh! So, little girlie, heaven help us all if you really are a cheerleader, but I hope you are putting that will to good use and kicking butt in some other sport...or music...no, math! No matter what, we all love you.
P.S. Please when I ask you to do a chore, salute me and say emphatically, "Yeth thir!"
