It’s so hard to believe how quickly our boys are growing up… and how little I blog about it. Sorry!! It’s not because they aren’t busy kids and there’s nothing to talk about.

Camden is really growing up. Preschool has done wonders for him socially. I notice such a big diffrence in him already. He is much more willing to talk to people that he doesn’t know as well, though apparently I can’t be in the room and listening when he does it! We were at MyGym today and I walked in the room as he was about to talk to one of the teachers and he suddenly got really shy. I asked him if he wanted me to leave the room so he could have his conversation and he said yes! As soon as I left he started talking to her again! What a stinker! His school pictures turned out awesome! I was so amazed. He is such a stinker when I try to get him to take pictures. Maybe next time I’ll try leaving the room! He’s also interacting more with other kids when we go to the park and other places. He’s really into drawing and art projects and his drawings are really cool to see. He’s actually drawing objects and not just scribbles. Many of his drawings have stories to go with them. He loves to sing (as long as he doesn’t think anyone is listening) and he loves to make up his own words to the songs. He also likes to just make up words (occasionally they come out sounding quite profane… we just ignore those and let him move on to the next!) He is becomming slightly less picky with what he eats, but still won’t go anywhere near broccoli

Parker is growing and changing so much it’s just amazing! I’ve been trying to count how many words he can say but he just keeps adding new ones every day. Over the past week we really have had such a language explosion. I think we are somewhere between 30 and 40 words right now. Today he attempted “Costco” which was pretty cute. Sort of came out like “taco” but he really put a good effort into it One of my favorites is when he says “lawnmower” which sounds like “ma-mower”. He definitely is his brother’s brother! These boys just love when the gardeners come. Parker saw a gardener raking leaves at Camden’s school the other day and pointed to him and called him a “ma-mower.” Along with all of the words he’s saying, he is also still using a few signs; more, please, all done, cheese, milk… I like that he can say “more please.” Thank you was one of his first real words, that’s a cute one too. Okay, lets face it, all of his words are cute! Parker is starting to like to color with crayons, or “draw” with “goggles” as he says. Sometimes he gets his words a bit confused

We had Parker’s 15 month check-up last week and the doctor was very happy with his progress and seemed to think that he was pretty advanced for his age (and that’s when I thought he was only saying about 20 words). It’s so hard to say though, all kids are so different at this age!! I really don’t remember where Camden was. I think he weighs about 27.5 lbs and was maybe 33 inches tall… I can’t remember at the moment. His head is still off the charts but he’s pretty big all around and it rounded the curve like it was supposed to so the doctors are not worried about his big noggin He’s just going to be like his grandpa

We have a lot of pictures of the boys in our photo gallery at http://lizard-lips.com/gallery. I have more to upload that will hopefully be there soon.
