Hup Bees!

I have been working hard at getting Jack to say "Help" and/or "Please" when he wants something or needs something done, instead of screaming and pointing like he usually does.  Just lately, he has started saying "Hup!" for anything and everything that he wants or needs.  It is very cute, but can be annoying because he thinks if he says Help, he automatically gets it.  We consistently have to tell Grandmas and Grandpas the new words Jack is using and translate for him!  Just yesterday he has started saying, "Bees" for please.  I think it is just the cutest thing when he comes to me and says "Oh bees" and stares at me with those huge blue eyes, how can I say no to him?!  But anyhow it is very cute and we appreciate very much this polite new thing!

The other great thing is he gave up his bottle of soy milk this week, by himself.  He has just decided he is now ready for a sippy cup and that is the only thing that will do!  Don't get me wrong, I totally love it and am glad to be done with bottles for him, I just think it's funny he did it all on his own!  The bad news about bottles though is Audrey has decided to stop taking them too!  It was really over Christmas when she was spoiled with me home all the time and being able to eat whenever, she has become a breast milk brat!  She will only take it from the source and will not take it from ANYBODY when its in a bottle!  We have even tried putting rice cereal with it and feeding it to her and she just screws up her face and spits it out.  So sadly I run home on lunch every day I work, it stinks but it has to be done!

Now for some cute pictures!  This isn't a particularly attractive picture but I love it because it shows her chunky thighs!

This is her big girl outfit!  It makes her look so old!

Jack is becoming more and more independent every day!  He is his own man and likes to do things his way.  I let him eat his yogurt with a big boy spoon and this is how it turned out!

Audrey loves Jack and I am not very sure why!  He torments her out of love!  He hugs her too hard, kisses her too hard, rolls on top of her, shouts in her face, tugs at her clothes, spits at her, runs her walker into things, feeds her oreos, shoves his bottle or sippy in her mouth, and just loves her!  She just adores him and smiles when he looks at her.  He can get her giggling so hard she snorts!  Here are some of the fun times they have together.

Wrestling on the bed (under supervision)

Pushing the walker around

Sharing toys

And talking on the phone!!!

I love these kiddos so much and I am so happy to call them mine!
