19 months

It has been an adventurous year in the Martin household. For us, traveling, kayaking, rock climbing, skiing and surfing has been replaced with chasing the twins (19 months) around the house as they run from us and evade bedtime. Diaper changing has turned into baby wrestling. Dinner has changed into food throwing competitions. Needless to say, there is never a dull moment around here!

The twins are very active and engaged. They attend “super tots” twice a week. This allows them to interact with other toddlers in a baby-proof gym full of mats, toys and slides. Braeden loves to eat broccoli and apples. Kaia loves cheese, grapes and crackers. They are both saying several words together now, like “hello lovey” and “stop it!” Climbing is their newest skill and they are very proud of themselves; grinning from ear to ear as they perch side-by-side atop our bed or couch. Braeden loves to take things apart (like Grammy’s hair dryer) and run the vacuum. Kaia loves to read books and give kisses & hugs.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
Best wishes in 2010!
