Carter and Cooper are now a little over 13 months old and are doing wonderful! They have been walking for almost 2 months, they can say "duh" for "dog." They can understand what you say and comply with requests (sometimes). Used to when I would get up in the mornings and come around the corner they would run to me saying "da-da" but now they run to me saying "duh." They know our dog sleeps in the back of the house and that when I come to the front, so does he. They want to see him now more than they want to see me. That's ok. I think its great that they are trying to get me to act proud of them by showing me they know what a dog is.
Oh to be a child again...
Folks, I know it can be hard being a parent, especially of twins or more, but if you'll just sit back for a second and try your best to put yourself into a toddler's shoes and think about the fact that they do not know hardly anything about the world and that they are pure hearted...you'll quickly be humbled by the gifts you've been given and chances are you will understand them better. Get down on their level. Play. Laugh. Love like there's no tomorrow. You never know... there just may not be one.
Reflect...
