Their Favorites

Just in case you forgot what they look like, here are my totally cute kiddos:

And here's what they've been up to lately:

Kate

Favorite food: Chinese
Favorite song: Jesus Loves Me
Favorite color: Black
Favorite game: Candy Land
Favorite toy: Henry (her female sheep)
Favorite phrase: "No matter what you do, you won't make me stop." (yikes)
What she's learning: To trace letters, sound out short words, and some very basic addition. She memorizes everything she hears (unless of course it's something we want her to know that she'd prefer not to know--like that it's time to clean up).

Gabriella

Favorite food: him and hims (M&Ms)
Favorite song: I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
Favorite color: yellow, it was black 5 minutes ago...
Favorite toy: baby
Favorite phrase: "Don't tell me what to do!"
What she's learning: To use the potty (YAY!!!), to recognize letters (we have 'O' down pat), to color. She can count to 20, but leaves out 15. She knows songs that I don't remember teaching her, and is speaking in 10 word sentences. She knows shapes and colors. She sometimes struggle with white/yellow and gray.

Nate

Favorite food: milk
Favorite song: Old McDonald had a Farm (He likes Ei-Aye-Ei-Aye-Oh)
Favorite color: ???
Favorite toy: my hair
Favorite phrase: Gooo
What he's learning: A little bit of everything! He's learning to take a bottle, make new baby sounds, and blow bubbles. He holds his head very well, pushes himself to standing in our laps if we balance for him, smiles, and giggles.
