The boys turned 1 1/2 on August 8th. Remember that we don't do months but for those of you still offering your age in months, the boys are 18 months old.
It's incredible to Joe and to me that the time has passed so quickly. The boys are really so amazing and we're having so much fun and perhaps that is why the time is fleeting. This post will be a brief one but I'll do a longer one detailing the past month and Oma's and Opa's visit.

Lots of new words from both lads: apple, Barry, Patriots, octopus, drive the bus (if you've read Mo Willems' "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" then this will make sense), upupup, spaceship (pretty close anyway), I see, ear, mouth, eyes, octopus, ball, bat, muah, Opa.
Jason is into making a fish face. The new issue of Animal Babies arrived and in it a little girl makes a fish face and on the opposite page is a fish face. Jason felt inspired enough to make his own fish face.
Kevin is into climbing everything. If left unattended, it's a certainty that upon return he'll be standing on something that he's climbed. He does a funny little dance shaking his booty after he's managed to climb up on something. It's something like a victory dance.
Speaking of dancing. Both boys like to. Kevin does a funny little thing that my parents called "happy feet" and that name has stuck. If you ask Kevin to show you his happy feet, he'll start dancing around. Cutey. Both boys like to dance and they are so darn cute when they do it.
Jason is big-time into music. We've heard King Biscuit Time's I Walk the Earth more times than anyone else on the Earth. I've been trying to expose him to more songs and Jason has expanded his special music list to include Mel Blanc and Sammy Kaye. Kevin is good natured about hearing the same song a zillion times and hasn't registered any complaints.
Must run. Ta!
