Our babies can count!!! 1, 2, 3!!! It was very exciting to learn they could do this!! We had no idea! We play at the park quite a bit because we are blessed with wonderful warm, sunny winter weather here. The kids are particularly fond of slides. They climb up and we say "1, 2, 3, GO!" and slide down the slide. At the park today, there was a giant abacus that they were climbing on. I explained to them it was an abacus and used for counting and started counting, "1" and then Kyle goes "2, 3!" He was so excited about this and I was floored!!! We surprised Daddy with this skill tonight with Daddy asking them to count and giving them the "1" and they filled in the "2 & 3!"
In other talking skills, they are both really good at saying "Mommy" and "Daddy" or as it comes out "maaaameeeee" and "daaaaaaadeeeeeee"! It's really sweet! They now know they use that to call us and get our attention. Emily wakes up from her naps saying "Maaaaameeeee" "maaaaameeeee". It's really cute, even though she typically wakes up early!
Emily gave us a 2 word combo tonight. She was looking at the pictures of us surfing on our honeymoon in Hawaii. I told her "Mommy surfing" and "Daddy surfing" and "Mommy and Daddy surfing". She busted out a "maaameee sooosing" and "maaameee daaaadeee". We didn't make it to a 3 word 'sentence', but 2 words is great progress and really cute!!
Our alphabet skills are in the works too. I had grand plans to introduce the alphabet one letter a day starting March 1st. Well much like this blog, great intentions don't always work how you plan! We're sort of on D. They do great with "C is for cookie" and will show you the C. "D is for Daddy" is pretty good too! "A is for apple" and "B is for baby" are getting there. Could just be a recency effect... Kyle was amazing last week when I gave him the "Z" foam letter and asked him to find the "Z" on the floor. He took that "Z" and turned it sideways on the "N" and proudly clapped for finding that "Z". His pride was amazingly adorable and his cleverness was stunning!!
It just amazes me how much they know!! They may not say all that much yet, but boy do they know a lot!!!!
