Chatterbox & Water Bug

What?! What in the world could that title mean?! Well, it's been awhile since I've posted anything and those were the best words I could find to describe our girls these days. Peyton is a little chatterbox. We still can't quite understand most of what she's trying to tell us, but she's talking! There are several words though that are recognizable now, her most frequently used word is "done". She says this whenever she is finished doing anything, but usually it's when she's done eating. It does not necessarily mean she wants to BE done, she has simply eaten all of the food on her plate and is waiting for more. She also holds up her plate to show you she is "done". She occasionally says "thank you" to her babysitter and has said it a time or two at home. She also says, "bye bye", "mom", "da da", "Ally" (or something close enough that we know she means Ally), "go", "ball", "bubble", "no" (I'm not a big fan of this one), "nigh nigh" (for when she's ready for bed)and "car" (which sounds more like cow-er, but then she makes vroom sounds so we know she means car). I'm telling you, this kid makes us laugh!

Allison is also a chatterbox, but she's been that way since she was Peyton's age! Allison is once again our little water bug. She is back in swim lessons after a summer hiatus and is doing awesome! This kid was meant to be in the water...she is fearless. She swims with her face in the water, can swim without the teacher helping her float on both her stomach and her back, jumps in without anyone catching her...you name it, she'll try it. We are so proud of how well she is doing and how hard she tries. I'd attempt to post pictures from swim lessons, but you can't take pictures without having permission ahead of time. I'm guessing so nobody's kid ends up in someone else's pictures without parental consent and then on somebody's blog for the whole world to see...
