Jackson: Gives big hugs and loves his Grandpa Sperling! He can be a bit sneaky but usually plays well with Matthew. They chase and tickle each other as the screaming giggles follow. He doesn't have a favorite toy but loves Wow Wow Wubbzy show. He loves to hide. He will hide in a closet or laudry room. As for speaking, he is very vocal lately. He jibbers but clearly says dog, wow and daddy. He as well as the others do more gesturing than speaking.
Madeline: We refer to her as the Queen. She is now demading to everyone. She is not walking yet while the boys are running. She uses an empty case of diaper box to push as if it's a walker. She makes u-turns in the blink of an eye and keeps up with the boys. The doctor says to leave her alone and she will walk in her own time. Madeline is very perceptive and has a lot of words in her vocabulary. She debates with Jackson if an object is a cat or dog. She loves the words cat and cup. She reponds the most to Your Baby Can Read video. She screams whenever she sees Oswald on television. Her favorite toy is still "Stinky Pinky", her pink bear that looks like a cross between a rabbit and rat. She has almost killed the poor thing.
As for Marcus and I; we just perservere to make it through the day trying to be the best providers and parents to our children as we can. We are thankful for another day and the idea of being able to spend another holiday with family.
Until next time...whenever that may be:)
