August 2014

Melanie

• Says some words when she is good and ready! Peppa (pig), mama, dada, bye bye.
• She loves giving hugs! I call her Huggie Bear.
• She loves Aunt Jackie and crawls to her to sit in her lap or give her hugs. She even said jah-chee when I told her Aunt Jackie was coming over.
• Screams and points at things she wants (especially her purple bike!)
• 8/26 - Got tubes put in ears. Easy, quick procedure and mommy didn't even cry.
• Often repeats words.
• Swings arms when she wants you to sing a song.

Connor

• Says a bunch of words... ball, bye, daddy, hi, high five, papa (bud)
• Loves throwing things, especially balls.
• Helps load the washer & dryer. Still loves sweeping.
• 8/7 - When I was leaving, Connor waved at me and said "ba bah"
• Drags his feet when you're pushing him on his bike. He can almost reach the pedals & tries to put his feet on them.
• Says open, all done, all gone, bye bye, & blows kisses.
• I'm seeing signs of OCD in Connor - conversation with him
• C: pointing at microwave - AAHHH OOHH
• Me: The microwave is open.
• C: Open
• I move on to feeding him again.
• C: pointing at microwave - AAHHH OOHH
• Me: The microwave is open. Do you want me to close it?
• C: Yeah.
• I close it
• C: Tanquu.
• Repeats a lot of words!

8/1
Connor looks at Melanie last night & says, "Hifive"
she puts her hand up
he stares at her in astonished amazement
walks toward her slowly
and slowly touches his hand to hers
and they both start screaming & cracking up
