A Look Back/19 Month Review

Look at how much things change in a year's time!

Berkley and Meredith January 2010


Berkley and Meredith December 2010


Pictures tell the difference far better than I can.

The twins turned 20 months old this past Tuesday. I have done a horrible job of keeping up with how they've grown this past month. I can say that Berkley now has around 16 teeth, he's got a mouth full! Meredith has finally gotten her 8th tooth this past week!!! Poor baby, she's behind on the teeth. Meredith has started flipping over all by herself, she can jump up with both feet off of the ground, and she can walk backwards. They are both communicating so well now and can tell me yes or no to questions when I ask. They are getting more and more imaginative in their playtime, which is so fun to watch; they love to cook food in their new kitchen and pretend to feed each other and anyone else who's around. Berkley likes to run around on the hard-wood floors on his tip-toes. They're getting pickier and pickier in their choices of foods, which makes it difficult ensuring they're getting a well-rounded diet. The only veggies Meredith will eat are olives and potatoes, but thankfully Berkley still loves his veggies. We've taken the trays off of the high chairs and pushed the twins up to the table, so mealtimes are more cohesive now. The twins have both learned to enjoy praying this past month. They fold their hands and say amen anytime you bring them to the table, now I just have to work on being sure that thankfulness is truly what's in their hearts and that it doesn't just become a mindless habit. That's all I can think of for now, but I'll update if I come up with more. Happy New Year to all of you! I look forward to keeping you up-to-date in 2011!

You are entering a super fun stage / age. I still can't get over how much Berkley looks like Steven and Meredith looks like you! What a creative God we have.
