Double the Sweeneys, Double the Fun!: Wow, I'm pretty terrible at posting!

Well, Christmas has come and gone, as has the entire month of January. The boys are ever changing! They are still pretty tiny and were just over 22lbs each at their last weigh in, which was about a week ago. According to our likely inaccurate wall measurements, Logan is about an inch and a half taller than Riley. If I remember correctly, Riley was 30" and Logan 31.5". They have been eating like teenagers lately, so we are expecting a spurt! They are currently in 12-18 month shirts and pants, although the pants are a bit long. Riley has some pants with suspenders now because 12 month pants are too short, but 18 month pants waistbands are too wide! What a peanut.

Logan is the verbal learner of the two. Since before Christmas he could count to ten without assistance, name multiple shapes (circle, square, triangle, octagon, star, oval), and knew his colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, green, black, white, purple, grey, and brown). At this point, he can identify the number 1-9, and knows most letters. When he sees a letter, like "I", he says "I, igloo". He loves to name animals and the noises they make, push cars around the room, read books, and color. He is majorly into coloring, which is why we went to the Crayola Factory yesterday!

Riley is the more hands on kid. He has been opening doors since around Christmas and is a master at megablocks and puzzles. He knows his shapes as well and is learning his colors and letters. He also enjoys naming animals and their sounds. He loves to tickle and be tickled - probably because he loves to laugh! He is the comedian of the crew and is fun to be around. He can be very sweet and is generally good at sharing, even giving up his toys to make his brother happy. He is an oxymoron - he is more patient than his brother but more daring and wild! Riley loved his sesame street cars and trains and also enjoys coloring, but not as much as his brother!
