15 Months

I love this picture because Max is actually kissing/hugging Kate

Max is 21lb 8oz, 31in., and has nine teeth! Max is making huge strides toward walking. He cruises easily along furniture and walls, pushes anything that will move across the room (including our coffee table), walks with just one finger, and has stood alone for a few seconds on a few occasions. In the morning after he gets dressed we say, "go to work Max" and he takes off with a quick wave to the playroom; he gets busy stacking blocks, moving toys, rearranging books, and playing with the farm and house. He has a serious routine. His next order of business is after breakfast, when he collects all his blocks and lines them up.



Kate is 20lb 15oz, 30in., and has seven teeth! It is amazing to watch her learn to walk. She can easily stand on her own and knows to put her hands in the air for balance as she steps forward. She can even pivot and change direction. It just all clicked one day... She seems to understand a lot of what we say, can follow simple directions, loves to swing, says "bye" when she wants to go outside, "mmm" when she is hungry, is fascinated by her belly button, and rocks all her stuffed animals while giving them hugs and kisses.
Favorite Moment of the Week:
Max and Kate kiss and hug the little girl at the end of their book each night. Now they hug and kiss each other too!

LOVE that last pic of Kate! I think I have that outfit for Abby! :)

Btw, I think you - like me - have an OCD son on your hands. LOL!
