Our Weekend

We missed going to the pumpkin festival in Half Moon Bay which mommy had her heart set on going to (Reason for not going was mommy had to work). Somehow mommy wanted us to experience going to a pumpkin patch which we probably will end up doing, but I guess there will be no festival next weekend. I think she wanted to go do the pumpkin pie eating contest!!!

Yesterday daddy brought out Mitts the bubble making dog and we had some fun playing with all the bubbles. Hannah and Sophie love bubbles so much and while Mitts was blowing all the bubbles, Hannah kept repeating "Bubbles!" as clear as day! Later mommy sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and little miss Hannah was on a roll she ended up singing it back to mama and doing the hand motions along with it, Wow! Usually she just does the hand motions, but this time she sang. Hann also learned how to sit in the plastic seat on her own and can take a couple steps on her own. She loves using the push toys to get from one end of the playpen to the next. I think she'll be walking on her own by the end of this month or next. Hannah also made the connections between signing and the words. We were grocery shopping and I was asking Derek where is the milk? Hannah signed "milk" and pointed to the milk in the fridge. Unlike big sis Soph, Hann likes drinking water and is somewhat at ease from drinking out of a sippy cup.

Sophie's update is she responds to what we say. I tell her to come to mama and she'll do it where before she would ignore me. Also if I tell her to get the ball or a toy she will do it now and ever so proudly too. If we tell her to go sit on her chair, she will be smiling so big as she does it. Sophie also likes to clean up, but on her own terms hahahahah! She enjoys taking things out of the box and then putting them back in and does this repeatedly. She still has a bad habit of wanting to do or have whatever Hannah has. I call it the big sister, little sister complex. We're working on sorting that out. Sophie will share with adults, but not with other kids. I think she might be an old soul because when we're at gymboree she will interact with other adults, but not with other children.

The twins playing nicely.

How many Hannahs do you see?
