The Kiddos: 20 months and 1 month

Abram (Abe)
20 months old
(I promise to stop counting in months when he turns 2!)

Abe is (almost) 20 months old and beginning to talk a lot more!  He says mostly one or two word phrases in both English and Spanish.  He is learning to favor English because I am the only person he hears speaking Spanish right now (although Drew mixes in a bit every now and then).  However, he understands both languages equally and will respond or follow directions in both.

He is developing quite the charming, loving, sweet personality.  He loves going to new places and is definitely a people person (after he acts shy for about 5 minutes first).  I was thrilled to receive the compliment last weekend that Abe was a very "compassionate" little boy to both animals and kids at a birthday party we attended.  Although he does try to test the boundaries (mostly by throwing things or getting into something he knows he shouldn't), all in all he is a complete joy to have as our son.

Right now his favorite things include tractors, cows, his baby sister, dancing, and ice cream.


Camryn (Cam) 
1 month old

Camryn is a total sweetheart!  She's really easygoing and sleeps and eats like a champ!  I think she is generally an easier baby than Abe was but Drew thinks it's just because we have more experience.

Last week we saw her first smiles (while awake) and she has been a great baby on all of our outings so far.  She's starting to fall into a pretty predictable sleeping/eating routine which makes our days go  smoothly (although I still call Drew begging him to come home around 5 o'clock every night when both kids tend to be tired and hungry at the same time).

Overall, we're all trying to soak up every minute of her tiny cuteness because she's already growing too fast!!
