Dear GnG, Mommy has been really, really bad, I'm so sorry I haven't written to you in several months. Well, happy 19 months! The last few months have been truly amazing, you are so grown now and I just love to watch you grow. I don't even know where to start. You both have grown so much in so many ways.
Grant, people always say you're a happy baby, I agree, you have the best smile and you're so huggable and kissable :-). Where do I start with you, lets start with vocabulary, you say so much now and you even said your first sentence at 17-months. You said "share car" to Gabby, you like to tell her to share, but in your mind share means "I'm taking your toy, you've been warned." Your vocabulary is phenomenal...you're saying at least 20 words loud and clear and you even count from 1-12 with great clarity. Recently you've begun to say Gabby, you love to tell her to stop, and it's so cute. You're acting like a big brother already. We go to the playground several times a week and your favorite thing to do is to walk up the slide and slide back down. At the library you're a hit, the librarian has begged us to come back for story time just so they can see you dance in front of the class. You have no problem making friends and you get along with kids of all ages. I'm so surprised to see how well you play with older kids.

At your last appointment, you weighed in at 26 pounds and 34 inches. You look like such a big boy now. I'm just amazed at how fast you're growing. You love to dance and you love to run, run, run...it's so cute, your run is more of a skip sometimes, I don't know where you got that from, but I love it. You're lovable and huggable, but getting you to sit down and cuddle is really hard to do...Your daddy and I really cherish the moments you sit in our lap quiet and still. I love to feel the heat from your little head on my chest. It feels so good to hold you close for more than a minute.
We love you Granty G!!! You're an amazing boy.
My dear Gabba Gabba, my little lady, you are so loving, cuddly, beautiful and passionate. You have grown so much. Your vocabulary gets better every day; I would say you're saying a good 10 words with good clarity. Your absolute favorite word is Elmo. Upon awakening your first thought seems to be Elmo. Once you said Elmo 100 times in a row (okay, maybe not 100 times, but close to it). You're a VERY picky eater, it's frustrating because one day you absolutely LOVE something and the next day you hate it. You are still a featherweight, at your last visit to the pediatrician you only weighed in at 19 pounds and 31 inches.
Ever since your super bowl walk you haven't sat down. Your new found independence has really gone to your head :-). You hate to sit in the stroller and you hate to hold my hand when I let you walk. This my dear has made outings extremely difficult for us. You are very passionate; you throw a tantrum like nobody's business. Don't get me wrong, you're a doll 98% of the time, but you know how to let us know you're not happy. Well, I guess I don't blame you. Grant likes to take your toys all the time, so I think I'd be upset too. You LOVE the playground, especially the swings. I was so surprised to see how outgoing you are on the playground; initially you were more outgoing than Grant. You don't really like the library, but you love it when they blow bubbles. You are such a character...you have this face, we call it the "evil eye", basically you screw up your face and look at us as if you're saying "what is wrong with you!!!" It is sooooo funny! You also have this smile that is hilarious; I have a couple shots of you showing your pearly whites below.
You're a wonderful little girl, I love being your momma and I love it when we cuddle. Love, your momma :-)

Aww, Grant and Gabba Gabba! Mommy couldn't have described you two any better!
Grant, you are always in a pleasant mood and your smile is contagious. You love to bounce up and down and shoot into the air when I hold you. You get such a rush from it! :)
Bri (we tried to make that your new nickname, but it didn't sink like we hoped)...So, I mean, Gabby, you're so much fun to play with. I love when we play peek-a-boo and I think I discovered a new hobby of yours...hand puppets! You wore them all day when I babysat the other week. We had so much fun! Both of you were so loving and fun to play with.
I know you two are busy learning Mozart and reading C.S. Lewis, but can we please have more play dates?
Kisses,
Aunty Shari
Wow, Grant and Gabby you are two wonderful, beautiful, little people.
Your twins are BEAUTIFUL! It is neat to get a picture of where we may be in a few months.
