Twenty Two!

Today Anna Kate and Drew are 22 months old!  It is so hard to believe their second birthday is so quickly approaching.  To be honest, I kind of lost count on how many months old they were past 18 months.  They change so much everyday and really are little kids and not babies any more.  A few fun facts about the two munchkins:
-Drew's most favorite food is probably blueberries.  Anna Kate's favorite is definitely tomatoes.  That girl would eat a whole tomato like an apple if we would let her.  Drew has recently developed a little aversion to meat.  He is my good vegetable eater while Anna Kate will go for the meat and carbs first.  They both love any kind of fruit and of course love ice cream or any kind of cake or pie.
-They both recently had a growth spurt.  We measured them this past weekend and they both had grown almost 1/2 inch in a month!
-They are still good sleepers.  Drew is usually the first one up and will wake Anna Kate up in the mornings or after naps.  They sleep about 11 hours per night and usually take a 2 hour nap during the day. They are both quite flexible and are really good if they are up late or have to delay or miss their nap.
-They are both talking more and can repeat pretty much anything  but still do a lot of grunting and pointing (that is our fault for responding to grunts!). They both know pretty much all of their body parts and can identify primary colors like red, yellow, blue, and green. They can also find a few of their letter books.  They know A, C, D, K, and U (random, I know!).
-They play great together and are getting better about sharing with each other.  I love that they have each other to play with.  They also look out for each other.  If one gets hurt or cries, the other will always come check on them. They play well with their cousins and other kids.
-They still love going outside and taking baths.  They are developing a love for the pool also.  We are looking for somewhere to send them for swim lessons.  They still don't have any interest in watching TV but do like to play with the remote because they like to see the TV change.  They still insist that it is on even though they aren't watching. They still like books but because they have been spending so much time outside, we really haven't been reading as much lately.
-Drew is quite inquisitive about how things are made, work, etc.... He loves cars, trucks, and mowers. He surely is all boy. He plays rougher and will take more risks than Anna Kate.  Anna Kate is more into girly things like her babies and her clothes.
-They are both busy but so very sweet.  They will play for a while then want to come cuddle and sit on my lap for a while. 

 My phone has the flip feature where you can turn the camera around and see yourself on the screen.  This morning I let them play with it.  Anna Kate liked pointing at herself and making funny faces.
 Drew was quite puzzled by it and was trying to figure out what was going on.
This is a bad picture of an incredibly sweet moment.  After they finished eating lunch Drew reached over and patted Anna Kate on the back. I said "Aw, Drew, you're a sweet brother".  He then wanted to give her a kiss.  The moment had passed by the time I got my phone to take a picture so this was the best I got.  This was their version of giving each other a kiss. HaHa!
