Growing up too fast!

The babies were having so much fun running around I had to get it on video and share with you! Sara Beth has decided she loves baby dolls! Yesterday we went strolling with our friend Brinley and her momma Susan. Brinley kept kicking her blanket off and her momma kept bundling her back up...Sara Beth...being the sponge that she is...immediately came home and got her baby and blanket and spent the rest of the afternoon with baby and blankie!

It is so much fun seeing the twins interact with each other!!

The babies and I have had the best time the last couple of days. The sun has been shining so we have had lots of outside time. Today we played and played outside!! I can't believe this week they will be 18 months!!! Boy time flies!! I am still calling them babies though...most people look at them and think they are 3 years old!! A few new things going on...
Mahlon has started talking...we have no idea what he is saying, but Sara Beth does!
Mahlon LOVES to dance anytime/anyplace, Sara Beth will dance sometimes but it has to be "the right" music.
Both babies now run...rarely walk!
They are very good at sign language...they know signs for milk, eat and more...and they let you know if you can't understand them they'll show you! So precious!
They've both had a growth spurt...up and around their bellies!
Sara Beth is our parrot...whatever comes out of your mouth she will repeat!
Mahlon has learned several new facial expressions...he really likes to open his mouth as wide as possible and "look surprised."
Mahlon has 14 teeth and Sara Beth has 13!
Mahlon has a very assertive "No No!" if he doesn't like something, Sara Beth says a very soft sweet "nooo" what a little Southern Belle.
They both love to sit like big boys and girls at the breakfast table...and yes they are tall enough to not need a booster!
They are both doing a pretty good job at spoon feeding themselves...this makes for a LONG meal and sometimes a spoonful of yogurt turns into a hairbrush! That is fun to clean up!!
Both babies LOVE to weed (read) as Sara Beth says...they are so sweet if you are sitting down anywhere they come and pat your leg until you start reading.
My favorite "new" thing is the babies have started calling each other and themselves "Mey Mey" and "Sissy." So sweet!

Sara Beth took her baby down the slide and said "WEEEEEE!"

Her baby goes everywhere with her!


Mahlon's favorite thing to do is open and shut his playhouse door!

18 months has flown by...probably because I was a zombie for the first 9!! We are so blessed to have such healthy, happy babies!!
