Ella's 14th month and Tyler's 31rst month

Ella you are really starting to take off. You can follow simple instrutions: Ella go get your sippy cup, Ella go get your shoes. etc. You babble a lot and try to say words when we ask. Your favorite question that we ask you is: Ella can you say, Ty Ty? Your eyes light up and you look at Tyler and laugh. Sometimes you try to mumble something too. Your words are still limited to Momma, Dadda. You sleep with about 5+ binkies and a sippy cup full of water. 99% of the time you sleep through the night which is soo nice! You love books but insist we read them super fast. I think you are more of a page turner now than absorbing most of the content. You are getting a lot of teeth right now and LOVE your toothbrush; only if it has toothpaste on it. You HATE when we try to brush your teeth for you. It's always a battle. Oh and I almost forgot...you are a CRAZY climber!!! You will climb anything or try to free fall or step off anything. Very scarey. Luckily I catch you and tell you sit down but just think that's funny when I say that and it makes you want to do more. You are always smiling, except when you are whining. lol I love you soo much and you are always making me smile and laugh! AND you are always wearing just one shoe! It seems to make you happy :)

Tyler, you are becoming very imaginative and funny. You love your books, but also insist on silly stories or silly songs before you fall asleep. This week we are babysitting our neighbors lizard and you wanted me to sing you a song about how we fed the lizard Nutrigrain bars. lol. You also love to pray and will thank God for everything you can think of including: (mommy's coffee, Octonaughts (your new fav. show), your milk, our windows, our roof, the trees, your toys, etc.) Yesterday you said out of nowhere, "when God makes me die, I go to heaven". I spoke to you what you said and told you that you need to have Jesus in your heart and you will go to heaven one day and it will be amazing. But for right now we are healthy and here on earth so hopefully that is a long ways away! You seemed to be happy with that answer and just went on your way to play with your cars.

Funny things:
"Ella put that back, I am a big boy, I do not need a tampon" (as Ella is handing him a tampon)
Why is Tyler always talking about sugar? Today he woke up and said, "Mommy is chocolate milk healthy?" I said no, he said "is cake healthy?" I said no. He said " are goldfish healthy?" I said no, those are treats. Then he runs to the freezeer and said, "I want a popsicle for going pee pee", not for breakfast little Tyler :)
Tyler was playing with a water marker and Tyler decides to start drawing on the walls and I said Tyler don't do that. He said, I have to. I said why? He said "because it's dangerous. I think that's a good example, Mommy."
