February 2009

Mali's communication has just exploded this month. She's combining two and three words together to make complete thoughts (like "Ro-ro Dada car?" (Roan's in Dada's car?); ). She's also started using her name ("May-me"). She recently told us that her ear was hurting and when I took her to see the pediatrician, the doctor first wanted to listen to her chest...Mali said "No", then pointed to her ear to tell her that's where it hurt - it was too funny. Her favorite color is blue and she's obsessed with it (she MUST have the blue cup, the blue plate, the blue sweater...you get the idea). Roan's world is just amazing and he's so full of stories. He's so outgoing (once you get him out of the house) and loves to jump into games with other kids (mostly involving chasing and monsters) at the park. He's wonderfully joyous and full of energy.
