This is such a sweet post. Make sure to record that little voice! My parents found an old tape of me singing and entertaining and it was hilarious to me–but so emotional for them.

I know exactly what you mean about Language- Khai is just starting and it’s so fun to see/hear him come up with his own little words and phrases for stuff.
BTW I gave you a Spirit of Christmas award!

I loved reading this post. It’s such a cute description of your sweet girl, a sign of things to come for me, as well as a reminder to jot down all the things Petunia says when she really starts trying to talk. It just seems that Addy is growing up so very fast! And she gets prettier and prettier.

I’ve also been meaning to tell you that I think Addy and Petunia must be communicating telepathically or something. You know the “very, very sad” face that Addy makes? Well, Petunia has begun to do the same thing. She’s gets her face set just so, starts up the pitiful fake cry, and either walks around kind of stooped over or slumps down on the floor looking completely dejected. It is so hilarious that I can hardly stand it.

I remember that with both of my older kids their language really took off between 18 and 19 months - from just a few words to more than I could count. It’s encouraging to see that Addison is just so “normal” and I hope that Reagan will prove to be the same. I also love that you’ve made a record of all the things your kids say incorrectly. I wish I had done more of that! Of course it’s great when they start speaking real English, but it always makes me sad to see a little bit of babyhood pass away with each correct pronounciation.
