The tantrums have started....

James is 17.5 months old but the tantrums have begun! Having been through this once before and realizing that this too shall pass, we try to embrace them and smile through them as much as possible.

In other news, James has learned how to nod his head "yes" which is a big milestone. He is very proud of himself when we ask him a question to which he can answer "yes". He is also sporadically saying "no" and "Elmo", "night-night",  and "bye-bye". However, we are still working to get him to use his words more often even though he knows how to get his message across.

He has also begun trying to jump/skip/gallop. I am not sure what it is, but it is progress and he seems excited about it each time he skips.

He is getting better about sharing too but usually when prompted by us.

He has begun putting the soccer ball in the play stroller and taking it for walks in our neighborhood. Hilarious!

Olivia is getting much better at playing games. We have been playing Candyland a few times in the last week and she understands it perfectly. This is a big change from Christmas time when she always wanted to go first, and just take her piece to whatever square seemed interesting to her.


 They love making beds in the living room out of the quilt and the couch pillows.
 This is James playing with the boppy one last time after we finished nursing last month.

James is a big fan of the pool too.
