These kids are getting so big!

The babies had their 15 month check up on Wednesday and both are growing like weeds and doing great.  Liam is 28 lbs and Lizzie is 25 lbs, and Liam is almost 1 1/4" taller than Lizzie.  They each got 3 shots but took them like champs.  It's been so fun to watch them grow and see how their individual personalities are coming through.  They both sleep great through the night and have good schedules during the day.  I'd say we're pretty blessed to have such wonderful kids! 

Liam makes the cutest faces and loves to laugh.  He is happy about 99% of the time and only times he cries is when he is super hungry (better shovel some food in that boys mouth) or he falls down.  We are a little concerned that his legs are a little bowed, but we're waiting it out a bit to see how they grow.  He is quite saying words but definitely knows what you're saying.  He loves to play outside and all things that stack.  He his perfectly happy playing with a toy all by himself.  Liam sleeps like a rock (see the bottom of this blog post for his many nap positions).  He does not, however, take long daytime naps like his sister does.  He might sleep up to an hour, but that's about it.  Lizzie will nap in her crib, but Liam sleeps in the living room since they are shorter naps and no one wants him waking up Lizzie during her 2 hour naps.  

Lizzie is a super goof.  She has discovered how to climb on everything and we've had to put up some barriers in the living room to keep her from climbing on the couches and tables.  She likes to wear Jocelyn's princess dress-up shoes and walk around in them.  She wants to be out and about, always with someone and wants your attention 24/7.  She is already saying Mama, Dada and YaYa.  She is simply adorable and cracks me up  - and cracks herself up too.  She throws her head back and laughs when she thinks she done something hilarious.  She is also a bit of a diva and will throw herself on the ground in the most dramatic fashion to cry when she doesn't get her way.  

Jocelyn is doing well too and loves her brother and sister.  She starts school on Monday the 25th and I think she's ready to get a little social interaction time with kids other than 2 15 month olds.  She will be in Pre-K4 and will get to partake in some field trips this year.  She has spent the summer mostly at home - but did get to enjoy a gymnastics class and an art class.  We've signed her up for soccer for this fall but we're not sure at this point whether there were enough coaching volunteers to get all the kids on a team.  We're still waiting to hear about that.  Her latest obsession (other than Frozen) is Phineas and Ferb on Netflix.  

Liam is the sleeping king - here are a few of his sleeping positions.  I wish I could sleep anywhere like this kid can.  He cracks me up!
