18 Months

How time flies these days!  It's been a busy year so far and it's only March!  The boys turned 18 months on the 22nd of February and they are getting so big! They definitely keep us on our toes!  They are becoming little boys now and not so baby anymore :(

I can barely get them to stay still to take a picture...

• They are starting to talk more and more which includes repeating everything we say so, we have to be extra careful :o) Tyson however tries to say a few more words than Lincoln
• Facinated with climbing on everything in site!!

• They love giving you hugs and greeting you at the door
• May not listen or obey, but understand everything we are saying
• No longer using binkies!!
• Wave and say "bye bye" for real and play pretend with us when they are walking away
• Lincoln is a daddy's boy & Tyson is a mama's boy 
• Discovered a taste for tomatoes and can't get enough of them
• When we go places they are starting to actually stay with us instead of running off
• Have discovered how to remove their shoes & socks in a matter of seconds, especially when I have just fought them to put them on!
• Lincoln likes to putting on shoes

• Tyson loves any kind of toy truck/car and will show us that he knows what they are no matter where we are at.  He also is obsessed with their trucks book---it's really super cute!
• Obsessed with pulling out all the movies out of the wall unit



• Both enjoy getting themselves dizzy by running around in circles
• Tyson loves flirting with everyone that will give him a second of their attention and Lincoln loves to show off :o) 

We had their 18 month appointment on Tuesday...they were having lots of fun in the waiting room once we got into the exam room they freaked out and of course I was riding solo so lets just say it was lots of fun!  The nurses weren't doing anything but getting their vitals-temperature, size their heads but they weren't having it.  And with twins, if one starts crying they other has to chime in no matter what :o)

Just a glimpse into the chaos...While trying to get their weights, I had one lying on the scale, one in my other arm all while trying to put a diaper on with one hand with both screaming their heads off!  If it wasn't for Dr. Ciminello coming over to give me a hand, Tyson would have just gone commando and pee would have been everywhere so a big thanks to him!

Both boys were not a fan of the nurses we had (sorry), but when the Dr. came in their attitudes changed and they had lots of fun.  I know I've said this before, but he really is a great doctor and you can tell he loves what he does!  They got 2 shots each, both in the back of their arms and they were not happy, not one bit!  When they were done they both pointed to their arms and in the most sad, pathetic voice said "mama, mama" and just cried.  It was so sad, but quickly dismissed as they both picked out a toy out of the treasure box :o)
