Personalities

Last night I picked up the the girls and Dona Oneyda and we headed off for a quick evening gallivant on the beach.  It was so fun and so relaxing.  The weather was perfect, until it started raining, and the babies were being cute as ever.  They have changed so much, so I thought I’d take a minute to give an update on them.

J’s little personality is coming out all over the place.  She is stubborn to the maximum and knows at 2 1/2 that she can use the language thing to her advantage.  She pretends she doesn’t hear or understand, but as soon as the motivation is right, for example getting her baby doll back, she understands perfectly!  She is talking up a storm in Spanish and repeating everything we say in English.  She doesn’t do much independent talking in English yet except things like “here you go”, which apparently we say a lot.  She loves water, especially the ocean.  She stood in the waves squealing every time a new one came and I think she would have stayed there all night.  She is super loving and wants to be picked up and hugged and cuddled.  She gives kisses and says “I love you” when we leave.  It hurts her feelings when we leave the house and don’t take her, but I think it is just because she loves riding in the car so much.  She is obsessed with her mommy, talks about her all the time and screams like a banshee when she comes home in the evenings!  She is obsessed with her baby doll and being a mom.  She loves to sing and is just a little sponge soaking everything up.

W is still on the more serious side.  He claps for everything and everyone.  A good song isn’t over until you clap for it, maybe a product of latino church?  :)  He also loves to dance whether it is to music on the radio or in the aisles at church.  He likes books and reading and pounding on things.  He loves the  beach and the ocean, but more to see them then to actually touch the waves.  He is a cuddler and I love that!  He has started talking little by little and has a new hilarious habit.  When we are getting ready to leave he finds someone who is leaving, says up, and once he is being held starts waving goodbye to everyone else in the room.  He hates getting left behind and loves any chance to sit in the drivers seat of a car.  He is a climber and falls off things often :)  He is stubborn as well and knows exactly what he wants when he wants it.  He loves telephones and pretend talking on them.  And he still steals everyone’s heart.

Love love love these babies.
