Naughty Words

The girls are learning the difference between good and bad. They have learned what "naughty words" are now. The first time we heard them use a "naughty word" was when Claire and Emma were building towers with their blocks (winter 2010). Claire's tower fell over and she said "dammit." Jeff and I looked with surprise at each other and asked her what she said. Emma came to Claire's rescue and said, "Claire said dammit because her tower fell over." A little while later, our nanny overheard the girls talking about "naughty words" during rest time. Claire asked Emma if "shoot" was a naughty word. Emma told her she could say "shoot" but not "dammit. Dammit was a naughty word." How nice that they have each other to learn what is good and bad! :)

Catch up on Connor

It is time to catch up with what has been going on in Connor's life... He got his first tooth when he was just over 4 months (April 2010). He now has a mouthfall of teeth. He started walking just after he turned one in December, but now he is running - chasing his sisters around! He can say uh-oh, ball, shoes, woof woof, up. At his 15 month well-check his height and weight were in the 10 and 30th percentile, while his head circumference was off the charts! It's all those brains!

Here are a few pictures of him over the last few months.
