18 months

A year and a half already?  I can't believe it.  At times, the minutes continue to draaaaaaagg on, but I can say that the past 18 months have gone by in a hurry.  In some ways, it seems like just yesterday I was driving back and forth to the NICU and in other ways, I feel like I should be 104!  So I definitely thankful that we've made it this far.... and there's NO amount of money I could be given to do it over again.  I don't want to sound dramatic, I'm just trying to be honest.  

Colt:  

tender hearted

a huge momma's boy

"itty biddy"

loves to laugh

babbles a ton

says "car", Jack "ck", "shoe"

loves fruit

dances a lot

enjoys toys that have small moving parts

Luke:

very playful

funny personality

loves meat

prefers to squeal instead of talk

extremely adventurous

"Gus"

keeps up with Jack when they play

has loads of hair

enjoys toys that move or something he can push

A little more about the boys right now:  

Luke seems to have caught up (in growth) and is super close to where Jack was at 18 months.  Colt still seems to have a little catching up to do.. or maybe he's just going to be littler.  I guess we'll find out ;) 

Somehow.. and really I have no idea how... both boys are signing "more" and "all done".  The honest truth is, I have NEVER used sign language with them.  I used it with Jack and realized that the words he knew the signs for were his last words to use, so I decided to not use it with the twins.  So how in the world do they know it?!?  And I asked Angie (our babysitter) if she used it with them and she doesn't.  I'm completely baffled.  

They both enjoy dancing around and like walking on their toes.

They're wearing size 4 diapers and at the veeerrrry end of 18 month clothes.  

Luke can climb OUT of the "kennel" we use in our living room.  Ugh :(  This is not a fun development.  

They're still great eaters, love the bath, being outside, and sleep like champs!

I've gotten more brave and taken them to a few parks to play.... by myself!

Luke continues to be the more dominant one and often takes toys away from Colt.  This sends Colt into immediate tears and when I take the toy away from Luke and give it back to Colt, then he melts down too.  Oh... as you can imagine, it's super fun {insert sarcasm here!}
