21 Months

*as always these are for me (and the girls) to remember so don't feel pressured to read*

Foods They Like:  They love almost all fruit...peaches are big right now.  They are getting better at eating meat.  They like yogurt, apple sauce, pizza, bread, orange juice, bananas, enchiladas, biscuits and gravy, etc.

Foods They Don't:  Mostly vegetables and odd textures.  They are doing a little better though.

Favorite Things:   They LOVE going to the park and now recognize "park" and "slide" as words that get them super excited.  They love going on walks (stroller or on foot) and dogs of all sizes.

Favorite toy:  They still love shoes and always want to wear them and bring us our shoes...I think because that means we might go to the P-A-R-K haha.  Kendall loves books.  Seren loves Elmo's World and hums the song.

Dislikes:  Being hungry and tired.  Teething.  Being told what to do or not to do.

Their Accomplishments:  Walking and running.  Stairs up and down...we've taken the gate off now and even allow them to go up and down the spiral stairs.  Learning body parts.  They also do this adorable thing of copying me when I wave my hand over their food to cool it off...they both get excited and start waving both hands up and down like they are trying to help (I love it).

Verbal:  They understand a lot of words but still don't verbalize as much.  They'll repeat a new word after we say it and we'll be excited and try to get them to use it again and typically they don't (kind of like the first time was an accident).  I do think they are learning just not sure if it's considered a little delayed or not.  I checked with our pediatrician and she referred us to Early Intervention.  They have an appointment to be evaluated on October 16th.

Teeth:  They are both just missing canines and 2 year old molars now.

Sleep:  We are getting back to great sleeping habits again (thank goodness).  Sometimes Seren will cry for a few minutes at night but generally goes back to sleep.  Kendall sleeps better and usually only fusses at night once in a great while.  Kendall has gotten her legs stuck in her crib slats a few times.  Sometimes one leg and a couple times both legs until she starts whining and crying.  It's kind of funny and adorable to find her stuck like this.  Glad she hasn't done it too much yet.

Looking forward to:  Looking forward to more words and verbal skills.  Looking forward to cool weather and family get togethers during the holidays.  We are moving tomorrow (29th) and are so excited to be on our own again and hope the girls will love it too.
