Elise and Linnaea reached 20 months old on January 29th and are two little joys (most of the time). I just love watching them play together and by themselves. Sometimes I still wonder what I have gotten myself into, but every challenge is worth it when I look at their little smiles and hear their little giggles and words. They have picked up over a dozen words in the past two weeks: Mommy and Daddy (instead of Mama and Dada), rice, box, backpack, rock, sleep, water, wet, cookie, night, apple, red, blue, brown, etc.
Linnaea has even combined words, which is a big and exciting milestone. She can say "night night Taffy (or Daddy or Mommy)" and yesterday she said "Daddy apple" about the apple Daddy was taking for lunch.
Elise LOVES to sing and dance. Her favorite song to sing is Patty Cake, which sounds like "Pa kee, pa kee. Rooooo. Paaaa. BEE!" Interpretation: Patty cake, patty cake. Roll it. Pat it. Mark it with a B. And she does it over and over without any prompting. Elise also likes to pretend sneeze. I think she got it from one of her favorite books, The Mitten, when a mouse sits on a bear's nose and tickles it with his whiskers, making sneeze "AAAAA Choo!" So she walks around going AAAAA choooo. It is absolutely darling.
They are still crazy about Sesame Street and anything Elmo. They have also started watching The Jungle Book movie and LOVE it. They get so mad when I turn it off.
Lots more is still to come!

Amy,
I love hearing about how the girls are growing. I also love hearing your interpretations of it-you are a careful observer. I miss you all so much right now. We hope to see you soon.
Love,
Jonathan and Lisa
