E I E I O

So it has been awhile! And therefore we are trying a new course of action - mom's point of view, not the boys. :)
Obviously we have done some growing since the last post. Toddler tantrums are still in full force but we balance them out with singing and talking now. Most words are nonsense but they are great with bye, hi, thank you, mom, dad, love, all done and still going strong with uh-oh and football. They do repeat a ton and of course I say lots of goofy stuff. :)
For Cole, everything is a phone. And I must make funny expressions when I am on the phone because he sure does. Trent is more interested in the train we got from Noah. He loves to sit on that thing backwards or more alarming, stand on it.
The boys are into and especially on top of everything. It is unreal to me. They crawl on chairs, couches, window ledges, ottomans, tubs of clothes, trains, each other. And they fight over me. It isn't as bad when Kevin is around because Trent is content to hang with dad but during the day if one wants to be held the other does too.
We seem to have finally mastered the one nap a day except today naturally. Apparently they do not need a nap today. I suppose I will go on typing in hopes that they will be asleep by the time I finish!
Trent's favorite songs are Old McDonald and the Wheels on the Bus. He says, EIEIO.
Cole's favorite songs include Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the ABCs. He can hum the melodies.
It blows me away how smart they are. I mean clearly they have some serious thoughts behind all their whining and pointing. They understand so much more than they can communicate which is obviously frusterating to them. I started singing Wheels on the Bus a couple months ago and Trent went and got the book. Impressive!!
Well, I am going to try harder to post updates!!
