April 2013

Hi Cuties,

We'll start with Luke (aka Azadukey!) today. Your first word(s), we think, are "all boy" which is hysterical. We always say that you are all boy, because of the things you do so much differently than Lydia. She is definitely girly and you are all boy. A new obsession with you is animals, especially birds and dogs of all kinds. You love to point them out wherever we go and get real excited about them. I think I mentioned that you love playing catch and really throwing any type of ball around. Your coordination and throwing arm are really good. You love the baseball song, "take me out to the ballgame." You kind of have that engineering mindset too. You enjoy putting things in and out of boxes and like to see how things work and how they are made. A challenge now for us is that you've just started to get attitude. It's kind of funny when you are trying to show us that you are mad and you go and throw your cup on the floor. Speaking of your drinks, you really like chugging your milk down, but really haven't taken to any other type of drink. Hopefully, that starts to change because it's causing you to have really painful poo-poos.

Lydia, you are even more social than ever, which I think I've mentioned quite a few times in these writings. It doesn't matter where you're at (playground, store, restaurants, walking down the street, etc.) all you want to do is say hi to absolutely everyone you see. You also like to ask "what's your name" and "what are you doing" and "where's your mommy and daddy" etc. etc. etc. You love playing with and taking care of your dolls. You even have to have them in your bed with you. Speaking of your bed, we recently converted your crib to a big girl bed. You are now sleeping there on your own and it's open so you could just walk right out, but most nights you sleep very well in your bed. As always, you love the ipad and all these electronic. On the ipad, you especially love to watch videos where they are singing happy birthday with cake and candles. It's your absolute favorite thing in life and on the computer. You even try to sign the videos that are in a different language! One of your new things is to tell us this long drawn out stories that don't really make much sense, then you laugh at the end of the story. It's really cute! One of the things that worries us is that you tend to not look where you're going when you're walking, playing, running, etc. You trip quite often because of this. We think it's because you are so social that you just keep talking or singing without focusing on what you're doing.

We love you both so much,
Daddy and Mommy Pants!
