Thanks :) I actually wanted 3 tickers with pics but now Scotty's doesn't fit :( So I have to make the pics a slideshow if I can find out how...

My DD has started saying 'nope' or 'no no no' but for the most part she doesn't really use it properly. For example, she was pointing at something on the counter today. I picked up everything and each time she said 'nope' but took it to examine it, then gave it back and signed 'more' and pointed to whatever else there was.

Or when I asked if she wanted a drink, 'nope' but had her fill anyway!

If only I could teach her to say 'yes'. It's so funny to watch her try to move her head up and down. If we try to help her she gets insane giggles and shakes it side to side (NO!!). Too funny.

Footed pajamas - 'nuff said.   ;)
Watching them sleep all snuggled up to their favorite stuffed critter.
 When you're soaring through the air, I'll be your solid ground.  Take every chance you dare.  I'll still be there when you come back down.

I caught DS lecturing the dog today....using ALL the words I do....ack....He was waving a Hot Wheel in his face and saying...

"no...don't touch....mine...NO WAY man... ALL done..." And then holding his face and kissing his nose...(which is what I do after a "time out" lecture...ie// no we don't throw cars...knock over sister.)

ahh my little man...growing up..... :-* :'(

Okay so part of our wind down at night involves not only reading about 3 books but also praying.  Unfortunately we can no longer put Sophia down and just walk away as we used to....now she sobs and demands for Mama to read to her and rock her a bit.  So we both make the sign of the cross (she gets my hand to help her by moving her hands with mine). Now whenever she wants to pray she asks me to help her by clasping her little hands and saying "Amen". 

She has also recently been saying "Mama...ama" (translation: Mama I love you :))

This morning I was in the bathroom getting ready for work and I hear DD calling out 'Gabyyyyyyyy, where are ewwwwwwwwww'. I go out to the living room and she's hiding herself under the couch blanket. Totally made my morning. Such an independant girl, can play hide-n-go seek herself, haha.

Totally loving that she says thank you all on her own now even if it does come out 'hank ewwww mommy'. hehe

 :D :D :D :D :D <--- me after reading about all the cute things our toddlers are doing!

I take lo round the supermarket in the trolley, usually she waves at all the other shoppers and shouts "hiya" at everyone.
The other day it was full of old men (must have been discount day for OAPs)- she pointed at every one and shouted "grandad"  ;D

Those are really sweet! Danielle - we've been wondering where you are over on the birth club! :)

Here's my newest - Marshall will row his arms like he's rowing a boat ... asking us to sing row-row-row your boat...then when we do, he claps his hands! :) And he "hums" twinkle twinkle little star. It's great! :)

Hadn't noticed this thread before  :-[

Here are ways Santiago makes me laugh or melt

When he wakes up he asks "Momma?Baby?Mooommmaaaa Baaaaabyyyyyy?"

He runs around naked after his shower and screams for all the world to hear "Clean peepee Clean peepee!!!" LOL

Crawls into bed with us in the morning and pulls on dh to pull him closer until we sandwich him

Lately, he pulls on one of my crutches and imitates me hopping on one foot to get me balance back  ::)

Bec!!!!   I needed that image of Santi running!  I feel better after my Jekel Mouse.

Watching her learn new things everyday.  And what she dreams up on her own.  For instance: the Sesame Street video that she loves has Big Bird searching for "la-laers".  She now refers to him as "Lalas".    8)

I love the feathery toddler hair (yeah, Scotty is getting hair :) )
I love the living in that very moment, doesn't matter what's tomorrow or on 10 minutes...
I love the pride when Scotty managed something (like climbing on a chair or saying a new word)
I love the little chubby legs that run about :)
