Not to overlook a major milestone, Sylvie turned one and a half last week!!! What a big girl!!! Her favorite word is clearly "no!" which is accompanied by a vigorous head shake. She likes to combine 'No' with other words. For example, when washing her hands, if the water is not hot (just warm), she'll say "Hot, No!" She's becoming more accomplished at self feeding and understands everything that you say and everything that is going on. She definitely has a strong personality with clear opinions and lets you know exactly how she feels about a situation. And a couple of days ago, she made her first poopy in the potty! She kept saying "push, push" as she was doing it...very cute. She does a pretty good job of keeping up with Yoni but usually gets frustrated that he beats her to the bathroom to wash hands. They play well together, but she does get mad when he takes toys from her hands, sits on her, etc. They do like to imitate each other, which is cute to see. Her new skill is smiling on command, which turns out to be a funny face.
Yoni also has some clever one liners as of late. I asked him to get Sylvie's socks and slippers for me (because she doesn't keep them on for more than 5 min at a time) and he replied "I can't mommy. I can't bend down because I have a baby in my belly!"
And this morning, when he spoke with Saba on the phone, Saba asked him if he watched Bob the Builder this morning and Yoni replied "No Saba, I didn't because it's not good for my brain!"
Yoni came back from FL with quite a cold and has been out of school this whole week...but we're hoping he'll go back on Monday. As for myself, I'm getting bigger and more uncomfortable by the day, but I'm not yet ready for the sleepless nights to return!
