22 months old





I can't believe our girls are 22 months old.  That means, 2 more months until they turn 2!  And 3 more months until their baby brother arrives.  They are each showing very different personalities, wanting to be independent, and learning to talk so much, mostly in chinese.  All of them are beginning to say complete sentences, telling mommy, daddy, or their sister what to do.  Or they will just chat away, saying what they are doing.  One day, as I sat down for dinner with them, Sophia said, "I am sitting next to mommy."  Alexandra said, "I am sitting across from mommy." And Hannah said, "I am sitting in front of mommy."  That was exactly how we were seated and all I could say was, "That's absolutely right x3".

Sophia can recite the alphabet from A to G.  She would grab a book with the ABC's and start singing, "A-B-C-D-E-F-G-la-la-la..."





Hannah can sing and dance to the songs we have been learning in music class.






Alexandra can sing and dance to "Ring around the rosy".  I think it's her favorite song right now.  




Right now, they all love the song, "Head, shoulders, knees and toes".  


They also love to dance in circles, wear play jewelry, mimic models they see in magazines, and strike a pose (then ask mommy to take pictures).  They are definitely little girls now and not little babies anymore. (sniff sniff)

We've been taking them to a toddler music class the past few weeks.  It's more of a music exploration class, but it's amazing how fast they learn to recognize the songs, especially when movement is incorporated with the singing.   At home, they have a musical ladybug toy and when they hit the ladybug's back with the stick, they sing, "do-re-mi".
