Lydia's vocabulary has flourished this last month and the words she now says have surpassed what I can keep track of. Claire likes to sit with Lydia and quiz her on all the words she can think of at the dinner table and in the car. Lydia finally got weaned from her bottle for good, even though she asks for it all the time. She is a great sleeper and will sleep 11+ hours a night and most nights will want us to put her to bed early. At her 18 months doctors appointment she weighed in at just barely 21 lbs, I think she is all belly.
Claire still enjoys her gymnastics and is going to start soccer soon. She is also a great swimmer and is still enrolled in swimming lessons. One of her favorite parts of her swimming lessons is sitting in the hot tub afterwards. This month we tried to test her into Kindergarten early but because of a Oct 15th cut off she was not able to take the test. So I spent a few weeks this month in panic mode tying to find her a good preschool for next year. Claire is working on phonic sounds and sight words in her current preschool. They are also starting to learn about money and very simple addition.
The girls are still a handful when we go out to visit the new house as it is even muddier and dustier than ever during the construction and all the girls want to do is run wild and crawl on the dirty floors. We are still hoping to be able to move into our new home the 2nd or 3rd week of April.
