21 month update

It is crazy to think Sam & Syd are almost 21 months (almost 2 years old-wow!) They seem to learn something new everyday and I need to document some of them here so we don't forget everything!

Sam is still our sensitive little guy. When he starts to do something bad and we tell him no- he immediately gets the sad puppy dog look and comes for a hug. He loves his little brush and now spoons. Nothing calms Sam down like giving him a little pink hairbrush- Tom wishes it was a football but for now it is a hairbrush. Both Sam & Syd currently love shoes-theirs or ours. They love to tromp around the house in mommy or daddy's shoes.


Sydney is as spunky as ever! She is talking more and more and has even started using short sentences. One of Sydney's favorite things to do is to hide. I'm not sure where she learned it and I must admit it scared me a little at first-but it is super cute when she does it in the house with limited hiding possibilities. She loves to squeeze into the smallest spaces and wait until you finally find her and then she smiles up at you and says "boo"! When it comes to discipline- Sydney is a bit more difficult. If you tell her no she tends to go ahead and do it anyway. Her teachers tell us she is the one who'll be sneaking out.


Halloween 2011

I know it is December and I am posting about October
but I had to share Sam & Sydney's cute Halloween costumes!
Sam & Syd got to celebrate Halloween 3 times this year,
they are well on their way to getting this trick or treating thing down.

Ready to trick or treat at Beech Tree House

On to Ohio for more trick or treating fun with Grandma Lu & family
Let's get this party started!Finally home in Indiana for our last trick or treating adventure of the year!
Our big bad wolf
Our little red riding hood (Syd called it her hat)
