17 Months Old & Learning to Talk

Another 3 months behind us.... And it only gets better!!
C and L are like two kittens, constantly chasing each other around in the part of the house we have blocked off by furniture and gates to keep them safe. One follows the other within seconds of the first one leaving. I love how close they are... and they really do appear to have their own language because they babble constantly and try to imitate us and sounds they head (vacuum cleaner, airplane, Chaser, etc).

Last week, they learned where their belly buttons are and they both have been coming up to adults and lifting the bottoms of our shirts to look at our belly buttons. Mine is especially interesting because of the navel ring that Logan really loves to point at with a curious look on his face.

Carter has been obsessed with wolves and howling like a wolf. He even howls "auuu auuu" when we wants a toy, instead of his usual whine. I even turned on a documentary on wolves for him and he and Logan both sat there watching it, completely engaged.

Logan has been saying "moon" very clearly (first clear word?) and pointing outside and also pointing at both, the sun and the moon, in their books. He thinks anything bright and rounded is a moon. So adorable!

They seem to know what parts of their face are called in Russian and in English and can point at them! This is a REALLY fun age....
