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.

Where's baby?

Mali is learning to take a picture of her baby doll in this video (sorry, it's a little dark as it was 6am in the morning)...

January 2009

Mali's been very busy this month asserting her independence and one of her favorite new words is "mine". She also mastered "baby" and likes to direct her babies all day long (e.g., "sit there, baby"; "wa-wa, baby?" (do you want water, baby)).
