Siena:
- Is obsessed with bottles. I moved Jaron to the larger bottles so she 'inherited' all his little bottles. We have bottles, lids and the slow nipples everywhere. And she is constantly asking for more bottles. She takes the lids off and on, puts her snacks in them, lines them up, carries them around. The one thing she does not do is try to suck on them...yay. Shane wants the bottle fairy to come one night and take them all away but I can't do it cuz it seriously entertains her right now for a very long time.
- Her 2 favorite sayings right now are 'one more time' I must hear this 100 times a day at least. Everything we do we have to do 'one more time' Read a book, slide down the slide, run around, watch a video, etc. I've tried to teach her 'last time' but it hasn't caught on with her yet...darn the darn. The other saying is 2 of something. If there is more than 1, there are 2 of whatever it is. '2 bottles, 2 monkeys, 2 Mickey's, 2 pretzels'
Aria:
- Loves to jump. She jumps all day long. She'll just randomly be standing there and start jumping. She loves to jump off of her stool, small chairs, fireplace hearth, etc. She'll jump like a frog, like a bunny or just jump in circles. She's pretty good at it too.
- She is in love again with her little bumbo chair. She loved it as in infant and spent a lot of time in it since she liked it and Siena really didn't. Well I just got it out for Jaron and she'll sit in it and play for about 10 minutes. It's pretty funny. Here's a picture now and then.
Together:
- They are obsessed with money. It sounds really greedy. They have no idea what money does, all they know is they LOVE to put money in their piggy banks. Anytime they see money laying around the house they get so excited. So we take a lot of trips upstairs to put money in their piggy banks. Siena always has to have '2 monies'
- They have started changing things around on me. When I get 2 shirts out for them to wear, Aria always chooses the one Iused to have Siena wearing and vice versa. They've switched bibs as well, so Aria now wears the pink one and Siena the red one. They've switched chairs (which were never assigned but they gravitated to one), and often when I put their sippy cups down they do a trade. They think they're pretty funny about it and always look to see what reaction they're going to get. Too bad for them they aren't identical or they would be pulling switcheroo's on people for sure.
- They try to see the moon every night. As soon as it even starts getting dark, they start asking where the moon is. Usually Aria is the one that asks about it. They get quite upset if it isn't out before they go to bed. And they get really excited if they happen to see it in the morning or sometimes when you can see it during the day.
- They are sooo busy. We got them little stools because I was so sick of them pushing my kitchen chairs around everywhere. They love their stools and can now get into a lot more that they couldn't before. It's driving me a little bit crazy but it's pretty funny to see how excited and determined they are in reaching things they couldn't before.
- They're getting so much better in church and we rarely if ever have to leave and take them out. (quick knock on wood!) They still have their moments but overall it's gotten a lot easier...just in time for Jaron to give us a run for our money.
We love our 2 - 2 year olds. They keep me on my toes 13 hours a day straight but also keep me laughing throughout the day. I wouldn't trade this for anything.

I feel like I haven't seen them in months and they've gone and grown up in that time! I cannot believe how they talk, and the things they are doing. I am totally laughing about the switching! That is going to throw me off for sure! Hello, Siena is pink and Aria is purple/red bib :)
They're getting so big. And how fun to have double the cuteness. I love the cat in the pictures. Ha ha ha ha.
Their hair is getting so long. It makes them look so grown up!
They're adorable and you are a fabulous mom!!! We need to play soon!
