15 Months Old Today

Johnny and Shaine are 15 months old today!!  WOW!!  They've grown in so many ways. So much happens everyday with these 2 little kiddos I'm not sure where to begin.  Well, both do allot of baby-talk.  Especially Shaine.  Books...books, books, books.  All they ever want to do is read books.  It's so great and we hope it doesn't end.  They can pick out almost any book that you ask them to get.  It's amazing  how quickly they learn. It's really cute to watch them read to themselves while pointing at pictures and chatting away. They understand sooo much.  " Grab your shoes, get your jacket, let's go eat, go outside, give hugs and kisses"...they do it all, and understand almost everything.  Mike and I have been very fortunate to have such wonderful babies.  They eat at the same time together, sleep at the same time, play at the same time...super buddies.  Speaking of sleep both babes sleep 11/12 hours through the night, and give us a 2-3 hour nap in the day.  Johnny has been waking up occasionally in the middle of the night because of teething, but we've learned a bottle and a little orajel  works great.  Much better than feeding him Tylenol.  We have always covered the twins with blankets and by 5 months old we started keeping toys in their crib.  This made mornings much easier and happier for all of us.  Both Johnny and Shaine wake up and play with their toys and talk to one another across the room.  Mike and I just lay in bed and listen to them chat and laugh...it's so adorable.  Oh yeah...they love their blankeys and stuffed animals.  Can't go to bed without them.  As far as bottles go they could care less whether they drink out of them or not.  We're still giving them a bottle before bed, but that's because mommy screwed up by making the holes in the nipples too big.  The flow is fast, and we have yet to find the right sippy cup with a heavy flow.  If they have to suck to hard they just get frustrated and stop drinking.  Food, well...favorites food for both of them is Mexican food, mac & cheese, grilled cheese sandwich, PB & J, and bananas.  We eat bananas almost everyday.---Oh oh oh...before I forget...we've been working on going pee in the potty.  They understand what it means to go pee pee so we bought a potty seat.  We sit and play on it, and they know how to flush the toilet, but no pee in the potty yet.  I can go on about so much, but it's more fun to share the pictures and videos.
