My precious boys, you are 18 months old today and Mommy can’t believe it!!!!! Time has flown by so fast and you both have grown so much in these past 18 months. I am so proud of you both and love you both so dearly…I am so lucky to have been able to spend these 18 months with both of you. I am able to see and experience everything with you on this wonderful journey. Every day you both seem to learn so many new things. We are finally past all the digging in the cupboards and you are really starting to use your words that make this so much easier. When you just aren’t able to tell me what you want to say, you both point and have these most precious expressions that sometimes say more than words. Tyler, you have learned that kittens grow up just like little boys grow up. Your kitty Tobby is not longer a kitten. He has grown so much that you can no longer carry him all around like you loved to do. Whenever we go outside to see Tobby, you still try so hard to pick him with frustration, as you try to understand why he has become so large. You find that it is much easier carrying around your stuffed kitty, which meows when you squeeze him. You walk all around the house making meowing noises as you squeeze your kitty so tight. The smile on your face is so innocent and dear.
Tyler you have the most wonderful, caring personality. When it is bedtime, you grab your brother’s blanket and bring it to him, which is so dear. Then you both find places on the couch and we cuddle you until you fall asleep. This is one of the most special moments for us during the day. You love to sing soft songs as you fall asleep. These songs are so soothing, that me and your daddy could almost fall sleep holding you, hearing your songs. It feels so cozy cuddling you little ones and these times are so special to us. You love to sit on the floor and read me and your brother stories. You are so delicate turning each page and every so often you look up to make sure we are paying full attention what you are saying. This always brings a smile to my face, seeing the excitement you get from opening a book. You both love to cuddle up and listen to mommy reading you stories. It is very special having you both squeeze into my lap and no matter how squished together you both are, you never complain. This is truly one of the most special moments together and I am so lucky having two page turners.
You both have such strong determination and dedication when you sit down together working on puzzles. These are the most precious moments watching you both interact and get along so well together. One of your favorite toys is your little people farm set. The barn makes sounds when you put the animals in the correct stalls and you both are learning the names and sounds of animals so well. I am very proud of how wonderful you both are growing and learning. Trevor, your favorite words at the moment are “Ma Ma Up- and you raise your arms up to me as you say this. You also love making animal sounds and you love playing with Bagels. Your favorite thing is being held and cuddled. Just yesterday, you started to give me real kisses that don’t involve any licking. For the longest time when you would try to kiss mommy or daddy, you would stick out your tongue and give us a lick as your way of kissing…. These precious baby kisses you give us know with your soft lips are so precious and can make our hearts melt like never before. Tyler your favorite words right know are Ma Ma, da da, making animal sounds, and you have stared singing “Bob the Builder” all over the house. This is so precious. It is so clear that we know exactly what you are saying and it is so adorable especially when you do a little dance as you are saying it… It is so amazing!!!!
My little Trevor, it is so adorable watching you sit at your little picnic table and color. You taste your crayon a few times to make sure that it isn’t food and then you sit and work on your coloring page with such strong determination. Every so often you hold up your paper for me to see and always saw a few words that sound so sweet. You are always so proud of your coloring and love doing small projects.
Trevor, when you get excited you make the most adorable expressions. You say “ohhhhh”and the face you make is so priceless. Tyler when you are excited, you grin from ear to ear and clap your hands, which is also very priceless. You both are very expressive little guys and I am so glad that you are both such happy little boys.
You love songs and singing. Your favorite song right know is the Choo Choo song and you both move your arms back and forth like a train and do the Choo Choo part at the end of the song.. You boys are so amazing to watch and the things you understand is unbelievable. When I ask one of you to give your brother a pretzel or fruit snack, you both do exactly this. It is so amazing how much you have both grown and changed. I am so proud to be your mommy and you are the most precious little boys a mommy could ever have.
Trevor, you were so precious this morning. We were having a campout in the living room, since you both were having a restless night… When you heard the door open and realized that daddy was leaving for work… You ran to the baby gate, crawled up on the size and reached to turn all the lights on.. Then you started yelling “hi, hi hi,… It was SO adorable.. After a few minutes, you realized that daddy had already left, so you turned off the lights and crawled back under the covers. About an hour later, I heard the softest, most precious voice whispering “hi, hi”.. I looked over and you had your face nose to nose with Tyler. You were whispering so softly to your brother as if you wanted to wake him, but didn’t want to make him upset. It was the most adorable things ever. Tyler opened his eyes and you both started to giggle, which was even more adorable…. This was such a wonderful way to start the morning.
