November-Makin' the Big Bucks

Merritt: Where mommy going?
Mark: Mommy's going to work to make the big bucks!
Merritt: Big Box! Hav-a, hav-a big box!

So...as you will see in the slideshow, I make big boxes at work and we brought one home for Merritt! November has been a great month with lots of change in the kids. Merritt is really starting to say more sentences and we are learning to think with the mind of a 2 and a half year old. He loves to play with Morgan and can't wait until she wakes up. Merritt also brought a worm in the house in his pocket and told me about it hours later. Morgan is now walking with her push toys or with Merritt's help; he holds her fingers and walks her around the house. She is about ready to get off of formula and started feeding herself with a fork today! She can wave and clap, but we have not heard any "real" words yet.

A Little Update

It is so fun to hear the kids laughing together! When I get home from work, we put the kids to bed and then we sit down to eat dinner. Recently, our background noise has been them peaking over the tops of their beds gigling at each other. One of them will squeal and the other squeals back. This goes on and on and on until Morgan gets too tired to stand anymore.
Morgan started crawling yesterday and she was quite smug amount it; she was very proud of her acheivement and so were we. Now we are in trouble-two on the move! Mark caught some of it on video. She also has her bottom two teeth and has been munching on crackers, cheerios, corn and whatever else she can steal from Merritt while he is distracted.
Merritt has been really focused on playing by himself a lot more lately. He will play with his trains or his Fisher Price "trio" blocks all by himself. He knows a lot of his numbers but refuses to say them on command. He rides his push bike with ease these days, coasting for long periods of time. Mark said that if we had a pedal bike, he'd put him on it now!
