They're repeating all kinds of words now (butterfly, turtle, purple, please, teeth - when we brush our teeth, ball, bear - just to name a few) and they babble sentences of "words", that we can only explain as them trying to communicate with us, while pointing to things or showing us objects. It's really adorable to watch them analyze things and learn about the world.
They love to climb and are getting good at climbing up onto the couch to watch cartoons and movies with us. They're nearly able to climb up on our kitchen chairs too, but not quite yet. They can climb onto Grandma & Grandpas chairs though and they love their independence. The pantry is also very popular, particularly the bottom few shelves.
We're now getting canine teeth. As of today, Hayden has three (all but his bottom left) & Claire has her top two (soon to have her bottom right as well). They're sharing a bedroom at our new house for now and we think that they like to be together, even if they do wake each other often. Also today I watched as Claire proceeded to try to get her foot up over the top rail of her crib, so I suspect we'll be converting their beds into the toddler beds and bolting our dressers to the walls sooner than I'd planned. I may move them into their own rooms at the same time and try to make a big deal about it. Hoping it will work out well!
