Sam & Madie are 15 months old (July 25) and it's difficult to capture all they are up to these days. They are full of life and very busy. Their favorite toys include legos, a tea set, their kitchen set, puzzles, trucks, airplanes, and books. Sam's fine motor skills are quickly advancing and his attention to detail is incredible. We love watching him figure things out and move his trucks around on his garage, move the elevator up and down, etc. That being said, Sam also enjoys legos. He sits and watches Jason build something and helping put the legos on here and there. He also loves puzzles. He is growing like a weed. Madie is all girl. She loves being a ballerina, her purse, and books. Her fine motor skills are a little behind Sam's, so she becomes frustrated because she can't do everything as well as Sam, but she is right behind him and today mastered her first puzzle with no help. She is like a tornado at times - tearing through the room, tackling Sam and chasing him around the table. Madie is the talker of the two (imagine that...the girl is the talker) at this point, although Sam is right behind her. Words include: Mommy, Daddy, Papa, milk, light, cookie, cracker, brown bear, please, thank you, welcome, hi, yeah, (granted they are not all clear yet, but we know what they are saying). Enjoy some pictures from July.
