It seems like each new age/phase we get to I like better than the last. I will say this age is by far my favorite thus far. Watching the babies gain their independence (although the constant testing of limits drives me crazy at times) is so fun and amazing. I know it is only going to get better when they can talk more. We are having so much fun playing. They LOVE being outside and with this perfect weather we’re having we spend many hours outdoors.

I think everyone has their favorite baby/kid age. I can’t give a definite favorite yet since these are my first babies and I have no idea what is coming next, but age two is probably going to be right up there. My worst age was the newborn phase. It was SO HARD. Thinking back I don’t know how I even survived with two newborns that both demanded so much. And now that I wrote about how wonderful this age is I probably jinxed myself and will be crying next week about how hard this age is and how the nubs of Shenzie’s two year molars might just be the death of me.

Speaking of teeth…Heaten’s last three (excluding his two year molars) and FINALLY all in and through the gums. He was quite the bear while they were coming up, not sleeping well, fussing and crying more than usual. Eight more teeth to go between them and we’re done!!!!

Wheeeeee!

Me too!
I hated the newborn age. I felt so guilty that I didn’t enjoy it until one of my friends confessed she hated the newborn age. But 2 is awesome, and almost 3 is particularly awesome. I can’t even believe some of the things that come out of their mouths!

I did that too…. it seems with each age you grow to appreciate them as little people more and more. Right now, my girls are so cool and fun and interesting… it’s hard to say which age I like the best so far. I miss all of them as much as I love watching them grow. Bittersweet.

Heaten is really starting to look like a little man. They’re getting so big!

I didn’t “hate” newborn age but I was a very young mom (19) and I found it difficult even with one at a time. I was glad to get out of that stage. My favorite with both my boys though was definitely the 18 months. I loved it. Your two are super cute. I love the sunglasses.
