Update on growth and developement

 Some progress and new stuff on the boys:

VALE

My baby has 4 teeth now!  The center two on both the top and bottom.

His personality is really coming out.  He will give you five, wave hi and give kisses.  He loves to clap for himself or when you clap for him.  He points for the things that he wants or when he wants you to go somewhere when your holding him.

He still thinks Connor is the funniest person on the planet and loves to play with his brother.

Vale's walking really well but still going slow.  The most that we've counted was 12 steps in a row.  If he wants to go fast, he still likes to crawl.

He LOVES the stairs!  We have to make sure we keep the baby gates up.  His favorite thing to do right now, and it's soooo cute, is to book it to the stairs and then try to get up them as fast as he can, looking over his shoulder to see if your coming.  It you are, he gets really excited and tries to go faster, laughing.  It's really cute!

CONNOR

Connor is hilarious... as always. He's definitely learning more words and it's funny to watch his understanding and grasp of English expand.  Some cute things he's said recently:

I told him I wanted to kiss him so badly and he said "Don't kiss me badly mommy!  Kiss me sweetly!"

I told him he needs to behave and he said "I don't want to be have, I want to be tall!"  (hate to break it to ya kid... prob not gonna be tall...)

He has such a great imagination!  He likes to play with his toys and make up circumstances and story-lines with his little characters.  He's very creative.  He really likes to draw and color things but he's great at keeping it on paper (like remarkably)!

Connor really likes to hide and have you find him or jump out and scare you.  He's pretty good at it and he's really patient!  Connor was in my bed hiding and waiting for me to come back so he could scare me and he fell asleep waiting!!!  He's so cute!

***Potentially inappropriate alert...***

So I was trying on the boys halloween costumes to make sure they fit and I was putting the monkey costume on Vale and Connor came in and said 'mommy it's on wrong!' I ignored him but he was persistent.  He said 'mommy it's on the wrong way!'.  I continued to put the costume on Vale.  Connor said 'mommy, no LOOK!  The penis goes in the front!'  Oh my goodness I almost died!!!  Not just because he thought the tail was a penis but also because the tail is literally 18" long!  Oh my goodness hilarious!!!!  :)
