Happy Half Birthday Alex & Tony!

This is complete craziness! How are we already halfway to their SECOND birthday?!

They are so much fun and I have such a blast with them everyday, except for the occasional tantrum or day of whining and clinging if they're getting a new tooth.

They are OBSESSED with the movie Cars and Lightning McQueen and Mater. We plan on taking them to see Cars 2 in the theater when it comes out at the end of the month. They're a little young, but we're hoping to get to see half of it.

They regularly "talk" to each other and make each other crack up.  It's adorable!

Books, cars/trucks, balls, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk are some of their favorite things. They love animals, especially dogs. 

We go to a park just about every single day. The like the slides, but still aren't fans of the swings.

Alex has 11 teeth. Tony has 12. They are both good eaters, though Alex is a tank! I'm afraid of what it's going to take to fill them up as teenagers!

We converted their cribs to toddler beds without any issues. Alex usually naps once a day. Tony will take either one or two depending on what time he wakes up and what we're doing that day.

They are both in 24 month clothes. Alex is 32" and 29.5 pounds. Tony is 31 1/4" and 25.5 pounds.

They are starting to be able to point to various body parts or objects when prompted and can follow directions when they choose to. They aren't "talking" but definitely communicate both with each other and us. Twin language I suppose, but we're working on actual words. Tony will repeat stuff like a parrot (and I really want to know what "oh ship" means). Alex is soaking it all in like a sponge and I expect him to just start speaking in phrases like he did with walking.

And now, we bring the home stretch to turning 2...
