Wow, I missed a ton of updates! Sorry to hear Teagen was so sick, and that you didn't get your BFP yet, Sierra!
We're doing ok over here. My husband's grandfather passed away last month, so we had a rough couple of weeks (my husband is POA, trustee, and executor of the estate...tons of work), but things are settling down again.
We had all three kids baptized last Friday, so that was fun. Gunnar and Lily are constant chatter boxes, I can't get them to be quiet for one second of the day
! They are speaking very well, and have most of their pronouns down pat, although they tend to mix up "her" and "him." They have developed a bit of their own twin language as well, and have several words that they say to each other that are obviously made up, but they understand each other perfectly lol.
I read that 2 year olds are mostly into parallel play rather than interactive play, but the twins spend all day playing games with each other and chasing each other around the house. Yesterday, they were pretending they were Anna and Elsa from Frozen! :lmao: "Run away Elsa!" "No, Anna, go away!" They've only seen the movie twice, but they seem to have internalized a lot of it! They also have tickle fights and sometimes walk around holding hands (when they're not beating each other up).
Gunnar is super rough-and-tumble, and routinely jumps off the couch, lands flat on his face, and runs away laughing. Meanwhile, Lily stubs her toe and wails for 10 minutes and wants an ice pack
.
Anson is 6 months old now, and I swear he'll be walking by 8-10 months. He already walks all over the house in the walker, walks while holding hands, and is starting to cruise on the furniture a little. No crawling, but he gets around by pulling and pushing himself on his tummy and by rolling across the floor. He knows and uses the hand signs for milk and for diaper change. Lily and Gunnar still use the signs for "all done" and "more" while actually saying the words as well.
As far as more kids go, we're waiting until the twins are in school. Then we may try for a 4th, but in the meantime, I'm on the mini-pill and still nursing, and my periods have not come back. Yay!
Here's a recent picture of Anson:
