They boys are GREAT! They are healthy and happy and running around all day long. They are all talking to each other and they are even starting to include us in on the secret since we are starting to be able to understand them. Konrad has expanded his word list to include: night (as in nigh, nigh momma), apple, oval, purple, more, bottle, juice (aka water), milk, grandpa, grandma, baby, and book...he may have some more but these are the newest and clearest. Mikey says: more, all done, dog, banana, and "mmmm" after every bite and "ahhh" after taking sips of milk or water. maybe a few others...but not too many yet. He sure does chatter and babble alot to his brothers though so at least someone knows what he is saying. Mikey is probably our cutest and most precise sign language baby, his sign language more, please, and all done are about the cutest friggin things ever. Zachary is starting to really speed up his language since he started walking. He says banana, more, all done, night night, daddy, "A, B, C", and circle. They all love flash cards and we are working on letters, numbers, colors and shapes.
All of the boys love to sing and dance, we put in the nursery rhymes and rock out!
Mikey is a reader, he loves to read to us, look at the pictures and tell us what he sees (at least we think that's what he's saying). Konrad likes to steal Mikey's books and read them...I am not sure how interested he would be without Mikey to motivate him. Zachary likes animals, especially ducks. He will read patiently if there are ducks involved :) All of the boys love the texture books right now. It is pretty funny to watch them turn the pages so excitedly and then touch and feel the velcro or sand paper or fuzz.
We are transitioning to milk and sippy cups from bottles and formula...so far so good. I am not getting too worried or exact about how we do it, as long as we make it there by two years old. Mikey is very attached to his blanket and Zachary is starting to get attached to a puppy that we have. This is good since we will eventually have to take away the pacifiers and if he has some sort of replacement for his paci-animals I think it will be better. Konrad doesn't seem to need or attach to anything specific yet. He likes his brother's things, but nothing that he absolutely has to have.
All in all things are great right now. The boys are growing and learning so fast and another month has passed...19 Months have come and gone and 2 years old here we come, I cannot believe it.
Zachary is always smiling!
...when he isn't "teething" on the furniture
and he loves his puppy!
