21 months and 3 months - all rolled into one!

I just can't seem to keep up these days!! Can't imagine why.... :)

So these two little hoodlums are really getting big! Since he's the oldest, I'll start with Lincoln:
21 months!
This child is CraZy!! Talks non-stop these days, and will repeat ANYTHING he hears! (including "oh shit")
But our favorites are:
GO!
Hush (usually directed at Liam or Moose)
Mim-mim and Pap (he also calls Nathan "Na Na" - usually calls Kristen that too!)
Na Home (not home)
Bomb-bine (combine)
Haw-Haw (yeehaw)
Eat (it is what it sounds like, he's very vocal about eating these days)
Tomp Tomp (chomp chomp)
Ocks (rocks) usually accompanied by Pash!! (Splash!) --from throwing rocks in the creek w/pap
Mine and No! ~~Oh, how often we hear these two....
"too-tie" (cookie)
Stips (steps) and Tips (chips)
Peep-peeps (pizza)
Off/on and up/down (we've really got the concept of directions down pat lately!)
Pane (plane)
Done
And lastly, Ashley and My personal favorites: Mom-mO (which is me) and Ka-Ki (which is daddy)

We are trying (and struggling) with the concept of going on the big boy potty. It's SOOO time, but I think I'm having a harder time getting the hang of it than Lincoln! Today, we went out for a quick swim while Liam was sleeping. When Lincoln got out of the pool, I stripped him down to nothing but shoes and put him outside the pool fence to play/dry while I was picking up junk inside the fence. I noticed him squatting, picking up rocks and thought NOTHING of it. When I walked over to take him in the house, it looked like he had stepped in dog poop - got mad at the dog for pooping near the house (which I realize is dumb), then noticed Lincoln had a handfull of it. GRRR... Then I thought, wait a minute, child hasn't even been in the yard, only in the rocks - so I looked over where he was squatting and found NOT dog poop, but LINCOLN poop!! That's right, he had squatted, pooped, then picked up a "pebble" to put in his wagon... Needless to say, we went straight to the bathtub....
Lincoln is now SOOO good with Liam (95% of the time at least). He likes to talk to him, which makes Liam grin like a possum. And he likes to "Tiky Tiky" (tickle) him too! He's all into skipping and jumping lately. His food loves are chips, peep-peeps, and swiss cake rolls (thanks mim-mim).
Lincoln's bedtime is around 9, and he usually gets up around 8.
He's wearing all 2t's now, a size 7 extrawide shoe, and a size 4 diaper. He weighs right at 30 pounds.
Oh, and in case you can't tell by the picture, he now also likes to "pose" for pictures....

Onto Mr. Liam. Now this one is a ham!! As long as someone is giving him a little attention, he is all grins! He DOES NOT enjoy riding in the car like Lincoln did, though! I thought in the beginning that they were identical, but now that he's a little bigger, he doesn't really look like Lincoln anymore at all! Ashley says he looks just like his baby pictures, which he also said about Lincoln (can you sense my smirk?) - but I think he looks a LOT like my brothers baby pics.

He found his hands a couple weeks ago (7-28-11), and didn't stop staring at them for three straight days! He can now grip a toy long enough to get it in his mouth - and the cutest, he's started really belly laughing. Especially if you do airplane or pull him up by the hands.

He is wearing 6-9 month clothes now (yep, we know how to grow em!) and is finally starting to fill in in the hair department. He is a very laid back baby, like Lincoln was - and I can only hope that sticks! He sleeps from 10pm to 9am usually and takes one long nap during the day - catnaps quite a bit too. Takes 7 oz. of Infamil GentleEase every 4 hours.

I realize that at this point I am super lucky with these two!! Good sleepers, good eaters, and for the most part, very well behaved!! I love these two kiddos more than life!

Lincolns kissy face

LOOOOOOVES to be on his tummy!

Has figured out that he can reach the light switches if he drags a chair around!

Happy boy!

I know, bad pic, but I just had to put it on here because in the last post I mentioned how dirty this kid is (actually this is when he was eating dirt). Look at that face!!!
