Terrible Two's

I imagine I will have about 1800 posts with this title in the next year. We are on our way, folks. Full blown temper tantrums, screaming, whining, crying over NOTHING. The words blatant defiance come to mind. We're hanging in there, that's about it.

On another note, I want to recap some stuff the kiddos are doing since I never write in the their baby books.

Grace Noel:
Dark horse for the terrible two competition. Crazy, wild tantrums about 3-4 times a day.
Duck/fluff hair that sticks straight up in the back.
Says: Hi baby! Or Hi Benny!" When we get B up in the morning.
Talks about her Bruber (brother-Tate) all the time
Sings in the car, before bed, during nap, etc. Favs include: Wheels on the bus, Bumblebee song, "What a boy" song
Says Ahhhhmeeeeen (for Amen)
Sleeps with a massive pile of blankets she has collected and likes to be buried under them (all but her legs), her "girls", and a pillow
Now stringing together 2 and 3 word phrases that shock me "What daddy doing?" "My daddy open it"
Silly and giggly
Answers MANY questions with no and then finally a YEP!

Tater:
Talks in kind of a husky man voice lately, not sure what that's about
Obsessed with his blankies and Elmo
Loves to get in Benny's face and make him laugh
Does a little shimmy and rolls his arms to tell you he wants to dance
Has less words than Grace, but gaining
Is saying Thank you Daddy and Thank you mama without being told. (LOVE)
Gives kisses and cuddles at random times
Needs a good 15 minutes of quality daddy time after work/daycare
Still sucks his thumb like a madman
Has the best smile ever.

Benny:
Sitting up for longer intervals, but still needs a lot of help.
Giggles and nearly everything G and T do.
Never cries when he falls
Cuddle bug
Says dadadadadada and mamamammama
Sean swears he is trying to say brother when he says bra bra
Eating pureed solids and drinking less formula
Says mmmmmmmmm after EVERY bite
Has one and a half teeth (which is why he's been pretty fussy lately)

They are exhausting, but I adore them.
