2 Years Old

Just a little update...
We had our 2 year check-up last week and boy have we grown!!
Mahlon is 37 1/2 inches tall and in the 97th percentile (3 1/2 inches in 1 year!)
Sara Beth is 34 3/4 inches tall and also in the 90th percentile (4 1/4 inches in 1 year!)

Mahlon weighs 35 pounds 8oz. and is over the 100th percentile!! Big Boy! (gain of 7 lbs)
Sara Beth is 31 pounds and is in the 90th percentile. (gain of 8 lbs!)
Needless to say all of the stress of them "not eating" is pointless!

Turning two has been so much fun! They both learn new things every minute!
*They still call each other May-May...funny thing is our pediatricians twins called each other the same name too!...must be that twin language you hear so much about!
Occassionally we'll hear May-May-sissy when referring to Sara Beth.
*If you ask them "how are you today?" they love to say "good!" with a big grin
*If you ask them "how old are you?" they love to yell "TWO!"
*They are soooo good at "pretending", they love to cook and feed each other and whoever else comes to visit, pretend to be mommy and carry their purses, keys and phones, make pretend phone calls, draw different animals (even though it looks like a straight line to us!)...such fun entertainment!
*They love to put puzzles together, color, and paint(especially if they can paint their bodies!)
*Sara Beth is really in to SHOES...she got that disease from Aunt Lani!
*Mahlon loves to "point and name things"(body parts, colors, letters) and he loves to "tackle" his sister!
*They both love to skype!
*Sara Beth's favorite color is PINK!
*Mahlon's favorite color is blue-green(and he says buh-geen)
*They love to play musical instruments and sing!
*Sara Beth's favorite words are "No" followed by "OK" and she started saying "I Love..." She loves corn, blank-blank(her blanket), hop-hop(her lovie)...she loves to say "I Love!"
*Mahlon is super polite and always says "please" and "thank you"
*They are both as stubborn as their momma and DOC and spend a lot of time in "time-out"!
*Just like their mamma they love "chic-chic and fries" (Chick-fil-A...they should, I ate it 4 times a week while pregnant!)
*They love to "read" and be read to..just like their daddy!
*There is a chance Sara Beth may like Mexican more than her daddy!
*We are slowly working on potty training...at this rate they may be closer to 3!!!
This is such a fun age, 2 turning 2 can be a handful sometimes, but we wouldn't change it for the world!!
