Chatty Cara!

Over the past week or so, Cara has started saying lots of words. Her first real word was Daddy, which she says like "daht-eeeeee". She says "momom" for momma. Now she can also say:

• eyes - "iceee"
• ball - "bawwwl"
  
• Babo (her lovey)
• bubble - "bubba"
• cracker - "cracka"
• more - usually said while signing more
• banana - "nana"
  

It seems like there are others that I'm just forgetting... but anyway. It's exciting to know she's starting to interact with us with words. Nora's not quite there yet, still preferring to babble or shriek to communicate, but that's okay. She'll get there!

Both girls put their hands on their heads when you say "head", and Cara also knows where her shoulders are and will point to those. They love doing the motions to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as well as some others that are sung at our local library storytime. They're just so interactive and fun! And annoyingly inquisitive and into everything. ;)

Kirby and I are celebrating 4 years of marriage today! Who knew when we married that we'd end up with 18 month old twins by now? Craziness.

The past few days we've had the outside of our house painted, the siding and trim. It was cream and dark green and in desperate need of a new paint job. Now it's white with black trim, and I think it looks awesome with our red brick. The girls were NOT fans of the first day when they pressure washed the house, and Nora especially was a clingy little monster.

I have some photos to upload sometime soon... maybe tomorrow!
