As I was watching Sam and Amelia play today I was thinking about all of their toddlerish behavior. I was thinking that before I know it this phase and all of those little quirks will change into new phases and new quirks and I just want to bottle it up. The way Amelia dances like a little hippy dippy free spirit, the way sam squats and concentrates on his work for long periods of time, the way they zoom around on their "bikes" and load up their trucks and grocery cart with all of the stuffed animals and push them around. Their evening chase fest, calling Joel "dadoo", loving lotion and carrying things to the "tash". Their love affair with their Richard Scary book ("Mouse! Uh oh! Tuck! Bear! Dog! Uh oh! Bug! Bug! Bug! Uh oh!" The way Sam has started saying his friend "Wera"'s name:) The way he is trying not to smile when he smiles sometimes. Oh, the list goes on and on. Of course, there are tantrums and boundry testing in the midst of it all, but I have a feeling those things aren't going anywhere. So, for now, I'll just try and savor what it joyful and unique about this "almost two" (!?!) set of toddler goodness. And there's a lot of it.
It's a big world baby...and a little montage with the same song that I made last year when they had just turned 1. I can't believe they are so close to 2 (sniff, sniff) !
It's a big world baby...Funny how some things are so different and yet so many things are the same (snacking on Veggie booty, hanging out with Anne and Vera, playing with lots of the same toys, wearing some of the same clothes). Looking so forward to seeing what changes the next year holds, and what remains comfortingly the same:) Jen

Such an excellent glimpse into Sam and Amelia's growth this last year in so many areas! The toddler years are precious and nothing will ever equal it again...thanks, dear-busy-little-mama-luv, for taking the time to put these pics together! and what a great song to go along with these years! love you, gma
fun! they are such cute little toddlers, your two. i think what will stand out to me is sammy loving his stories and amelia and the rhythm in her walk :) i remember that time v + a were twinsies, i can't believe it was a year ago?! i was actually just watching a video of vera a year ago and you're right, it's so crazy how their little quirks change. it was hard to believe it was the same baby!
I know how you feel. They just grow too, too fast. My Emma is changing before my very eyes!
