Words around the house

The girls are really learning a lot lately.  They started playing games together and talking to each other more.  They know "sister" and string that with something else to mean "sister's ____".  It's really nice to see them playing together.  Thalia will bring Calli a drink saying, "Sister!  Sister, here, Sister drink."

Other new phrases:

I turn
sister turn
I did it!
I got it.
Sunglasses!
open
door
up
in
Where are you?
My carseat!

There's a lot more, but I can't remember it all now.

Sometimes twins are HARD

The girls are quickly approaching two and they definitely have more opinions.  I try to give them lots of choices, but sometimes it isn't possible.  Lately, the meltdowns have been all about me carrying them.  I cannot physically carry the two girls anymore.  I love carrying them, but at 23 pounds each or more, my ribs will not let me carry them.  Thalia can cry and throw a fit like nobody else I know.  We have implemented time outs for this.  Mostly, I've been letting her cry it out and then getting her out of her crib.  Unfortunately, she goes right back into a fit if I won't carry her out of the bedroom. On it goes.
