1. She is starting to play jokes on us. It's very funny. She is so cute.

2. I like when she comes over and gives me a hug.

3. She says "zebra" now!

4. Temper tantrums galore!

[mellyknu]

1. The other day she kept screaming "cup" at me while I was doing the dishes. I sarcastically asked her what she wants and she responded "COOKIE!!"

2. Oh, the tickling. It never stops. Must tickle us all the time! She's starting to name colors now! Also, she's singing gibberish when I sing the Gilmore Girls theme song to her before bed. It won't be long before she's singing along!

3. First bike is a milestone, right? We got her a Strider balance bike. She'll only ride it for maybe a minute, but that's fine.

4. The bath hate continues. Why, child?!

QOTW: I grew up in WA, so we had plenty of earthquakes. I actually liked them, but none were big enough to do much damage. I live in MN now and there have been plenty of tornado watches and warnings, but none have actually come close to me.

1. What hilarious thing(s) did your little do this week? (Give us a laugh!) We went to a new park and they had a tiny slide that she could handle in her own even though she hated slides at all until a week ago. But we convinced her to try this slide and she liked it. When she finally got up the courage to go down by herself she would slide down then just lay there with her arms up and wait for you to come get her so she could go again. Haha it was so funny, I got a video. (Sounds doesn't matter, it's the end that cracks me up.)

SPOILER: Click to show

2. What made you go aww? (Happy things here!) She finally got her own chair this weekend and every time she sat in it for the first day or so, she would just laugh. It was so cute.

3. What had you cheering them on? (Milestones) She counted to one. H was counting to 5 with her on his fingers and asked if she wanted to count again and she stuck up her finger and said "one!"

4. What made you want to crawl back into bed? (Challenges go here!) Tantrums?

5. Share a pic from the week, if you please!

Oh man, mellyknu. R has started tickling my feet and it's so annoying! I'm super ticklish, like can't function or breathe. She thinks it's the best. 😑

[dyork]

1. Gabe loves to call the dogs when they're outside. He'll be at the window and I'll just hear "PAPA BE QUIET!" Or their names over and over. And Julie is starting to get a personality, and she's at the stage where she loves to make raspberries.

2. I love watching the kids play together. It melts my heart. And I know there will be many times where they fight. So I try and get videos or pictures of them playing.

3. Julie has been standing behind her zebra walker and taking a step here or there. She wants to catch up to Gabe so bad. And Gabe has been a champ with counting and saying Please/thank you/ welcome. He's doing so good.

4. I mean, throw themselves on the floor tantrums.

QOTW: for REAL one year when I lived out in western MA we had an earthquake and a tornado. It was so bizarre. I've also been through blizzards, but I guess I don't think much of them.
