We're almost TWO! Yikes!
weights:
Estimates:
Oliver - 28 lbs
Nolan - 24 lbs and change
Lucas - 23 lbs and change
sizes:
Oliver - Mostly 24 month/2T clothes, size 5W (or 6 if they aren't wides) shoes, size 5 diapers
Nolan - 18 month clothes, size 4.5 or 5 shoes, size 4 diapers
Lucas - 18 month clothes, size 4.5 shoes, size 4 diapers
teeth:
Oliver - 16 + (bottom left molar over halfway in)
Nolan - 16 + a couple two year molars (bottom ones) starting to poke out
Lucas - 16 + (bottom left molar over half way in) and another working its way through
eating habits:
Hit or miss. Ollie still really loves his fruit. They all love yogurt and none of them particularly care for donuts. Wha'?!?
sleeping habits:
Overall, most days we're sleeping through the night, but we still have our bad nights. These past few days naps have gotten worse. No good...
gross motor:
No major gains here. They seem to be on track. They certainly are FAST!
fine motor:
I feel like all the boys are doing quite well in this area. They continue to love shape sorters and puzzles and we are coloring more often now. Lucas really likes to draw with the magnadoodle.

Lucas - waves, claps, gives/blows kisses, points to nose and belly button when asked
Signs: all done, milk, more, ball, please, thank you, eat, cereal, mama, daddy, water, cracker (12 signs)
Says: mama, dada, done, ball, uh oh, apple, banana, cookie, cupcake, cheese, thank you, more, stinky, go, three, Pocoyo, cracker, please, bye bye, shoes, yea (21 verbal words) These are all words he's said at one point but he's "lost" quite a few of them...currently he only uses about 5 words consistently. I was looking over some videos that were taken back in January. He said more then than he does now. Pretty concerning!
Ollie and Lucas have officially started speech. I will update about that in a separate post. Overall, Ollie has really taken off with his vocabulary and in the past month has caught up to Nolan. Lucas is still really limited in what he says in terms of actual words. He does babble a lot. Perhaps he knows another language!
favorite things:
Oliver - CARS!!!
challenges:
TEETHING crankiness, fighting, hair-pulling/pinching (Nolan), head-banging (not as bad as it was though)
special outings/events:
We leave the house pretty much everyday! Lots of walks, park dates, play places, and visits to the open gym (due to lots of rain). We had a great time at the arboretum last week!
