I thought I might come up with a new blog topic, once a month I will think and write about why I love the age my kids are right now.
Let's start off with Lili:
Lili has just turned 10 months old... that's right, in 2 months she will turn the big 1!
I really do love this age she is at. She is crawling round the house and has gained so much independence. If I go out I can plop her down and she will explore and entertain herself. She is also starting to pull herself up on furniture and is so proud of herself when she does it! She is a happy little soul and loves attention and loves just about every person who will take the time to talk to her.
She is going through the stage where she wants mummy all the time. Not the separation anxiety type, but more just is over the moon when she sees mummy walk through the door and will just about leap out of another person's arms to get to me. How can you not love that? She is happiest when standing in my lap playing silly little games like jumping up and down, and giggling at each other.
She is starting to really want to play with her big brother too, if he is in the next room playing with his cars she will crawl in and try to join in, cackling away the entire time.
Now it's time for Noah:
Noah is now 28 months old or 2 years and 4 months. Terrible 2's are definitely here but terrific 2's are here too :)
I love this age with Noah because communication is really coming along in leaps and bounds. I love that I can talk to him and most of the time he understands completely. I can ask him specific questions and usually get a good answer, for example if I hear a crashing noise I can ask him what happened and actually find out.
He is always coming out with cute little sayings and the tone in his voice is adorable. My favourite thing he says would have to be 'oh my god' with such a serious look on his face and in such a disgusted/serious tone. Puts a smile on my face every time without fail.
I also love that he is starting to play more with his sister. He has always been good playing with other kids with minimal spats but when it comes to his sister he doesn't like her touching his stuff. Since she has been on the move he seems to be warming up to the idea of having a playmate all the time and I often catch him sharing his toys and trying to teach her how to do things like push cars along etc.
He is also showing a lot of sympathy, if someone cries he instantly goes and gives a cuddle and kiss. He says sorry when he does something wrong (most of the time).
Overall I love both of my kids to pieces and I love the age they are at. With every age comes challenges, but even more so it comes with smiles, laughter and learning. "
