Quick notes!

Etta-


She has been counting lately. She starts with 4 and then says 6 always.  She gets really frustrated when I try to start at one.  I say 1 she says 4, I say two she says 4, I say 3 then she throws a little fit, cause it is taking to long to get to four...


She fell down while running in the kitchen and took the whole fall in the forehead.  She had an immediate goose egg.  Just like you see in the cartoons... it was so sad.  There was a panicked call to the doctor and we watched her for any bad signs, but she was happy after about 10 minutes.  


She loves monkeys lately.  While she is eating breakfast and she will casually drop the word monkey, or whenever she feels it is necessary.   She loves the monkeys Jumping on the bed song.  We sing that the monkey bumped his head, and now she gets very empathetic when we sing that part, she says is a really consoling voice, "Oh no".  When we hit the second, third and 4th verse  etc. she starts yelling at us  NO!  NO!  (because the monkeys aren't supposed to be jumping on the bed, and she is really concerned that they are breaking the rules)


If she wants to be held she says "Hold You".


The other day, Lydia sneezed and Etta said, "Bless you Baby, bless you"  She says it anytime Lydia sneezes or coughs, it is adorable.


We call Lydia -Lyla cuz that is what Etta says, I am not sure if I ever mentioned that.


She is starting to say yes to a lot of things.  Like we will ask her if she wants something, she immediately says no, then she will say Yes, yes, and nod her head.


She loves Rapulnel.  We watch it in Dutch, yesterday, she was saying some of the words in Dutch along with the movie.  It is fun to hear her saying the words.


Yesterday in the tub she was saying 8 in dutch and it has a guttural sound in it, and she heard Justin say it, and at first she said it without.  Then she made the sound perfectly, and you could see her practicing the sound, she said it several times to make sure she could do it, then kept on playing in the tub..  It is really fun to see her learning 2 languages so easily. 


Lydia-
Lydia is sleeping through the night like a champ, she has been for the last month and a half.


She rolled over onto her side twice yesterday, so i think we will be seeing more of that soon.  (she was on her side when I got her this morning too.  She was quite proud of herself!


She is starting to laugh when you tickle her.


She LOVES to talk to you, and is so animated.


She is sucking her thumb.  She is just getting good at finding it even when she is just on her back.  It is so adorable to see her soothe herself with her thumb, she is just so happy with it.  I realize it may be a hard habit to break, but since she has been doing it since she was about 4 weeks old, all through the night, and is the reason she sleeps a solid 9 hours a night... I am not going to change anything now!


She LOVES bath time and just sits there soaking and talking to us!  


Okay, gotta go eat breakfast!
