22 Months Old

Once again, we slacked on taking timely sticker pictures this month.  Their 22-month session was held a couple of weeks late on Saturday, August 18th.  Overall, Isaac and Elliott were more cooperative this month and actually sat in their chairs as I envisioned!

 

Before I got so behind on blogging, I had imagined updating on all of their developmental changes during each sticker picture post.  Now, they are changing so quickly, I cannot keep up!  Since 18-months old, both their signing and verbal vocabulary has exploded!  At the end of July, the started putting short phrases together!

 

My favorite phrase so far from Isaac...
We were at Kroger one evening and I was attempting to look to see if a new tooth had broken through.  He promptly told me "No, Mama. My teeth. Go!"  With the word "go", he waved me away!

Elliott jabbers all the time now!  We thought he would be the more quiet boy.  He ends nearly every phrase with "Dada" or "Mama".  Often, he tells us when a truck, car, motorcycle, or plane passes as he loves all things transportation.  He sure is telling us lots and it won't be long before we understand every word!

 

After staying in their chairs long enough for a few shots, it was play time!

 

The following was a lucky, unprompted shot...

 

This is what happens when we try to recreate the moment for a planned shot...

Isaac and Elliott have plans of their own!

 

Of course, those other plans include wrestling!  I particularly enjoy this sequence!

The pretend hug...

 

The face lift...

 

The "gotcha brother" back bend...

 

Wrestling is only paused for one thing...the Muppets!  Or "Bapups" as Isaac and Elliott say!  I found one of my favorite childhood movies, The Muppets Take Manhattan, in the $5 movie bin at Wal-Mart.  So, I bought it for myself.  Little did I know, the boys would love it more than I do!  I think they would watch it on repeat all day long if we would allow them!  They stare, dance, and sing at "Fog" (Kermit)!  Here is proof at how this movie sucks them in...

 

Happy 22nd month, Isaac and Elliott!
