A year and a half

 

They look so sweet and innocent, don't they?  They are... most some of the time.

Of course, I have sweet things to say about my little ones, but I also will tell the truth.   The one on the right is my biter, pincher, and hair puller.   She has quite the temper and does not put up with very much from her older bother brother.  He is like a little chihuahua.  He alerts us whenever she comes near (for good reason since half the time she comes with her mouth open and fangs ready for his skin).  He is a screamer and likes to exercise his lungs with both of his sisters if things don't go his way which is pretty much all day long!

Life with twins.  Double the blessing, double the trouble.

I'm glad I got the negatives out of the way, because these two kids are so. much. fun!  Two little wombmates could not be any different!

He is Mama's Boy! 

  He loves his mama and turns out he has a special bond with his Grandma too!   He is a sweet and sensitive little guy.  He loves to hum and knows the tunes of ABC and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (same tune, I know!)  He can start both songs off and but then is gibberish by the fourth or fifth word.  He can do puzzles and will hold a full conversation with you... in chinese!  

He is quite the sleeper and really can go to sleep anywhere:

He is such a joy to have and whether they realize it or not, his sisters are LUCKY to have him around!

 Nicknames:  Sissy, Breezy, Brie, Breezola, Bunnies

Favorite Foods: meat and chocolate (you know the important things in life!)

Current words:  Mo (more could also mean drink, yes, food, milk, etc.) Nigh Nigh (good night) awwww do (all done) Reera (Kiera) mama, dada,  bopper (diaper) bye bye, pew pew (poo poo---she says it like we are french)

This is the child that makes you want a thousand more one minute and the one that makes you want to end the family line.  My sister says what ever Brie is, she is all that.  Meaning if she is happy, she is really happy.  If she is mad, she is really mad and you should probably step out of the zip code.   She loves to play with babies and sometimes even let's Kiera treat her like a baby.  Sometimes.  She constantly makes us laugh and she lights up our world.  How could you not just love this little thing:

Even though they have the scars to prove her existence, life would not be near as fun for our other children without a little Brie in it!

We are very lucky indeed to have wonderful, bright and beautiful children.   We love them with all our hearts even when they're naughty which is quite often these days!
