Kid updates

I keep meaning to do a kid-update.

Rebekah:

-loves seeing all her grandparents
-wears size 5 in most things, size 9/10 shoe
-still loves puzzles and crafts
-gets very emotionally-involved in movies
-asks "why?" 30 million times an hour
-will start preschool when we get back
-has really enjoyed playing with new friends
-loves sleeping on a pallet

Luke:

-has 16 teeth, the last 3 have come in the last week or 2
-is walking all the time!!!
-now hates the stroller (see second fact)
-wants to do everything his big sister is doing
-still loves music
-is learning new boundaries now that he's on the go
-loves his grandfathers a lot- besides his great love for me, Luke is starting to seem to prefer
men
-loves barking at dogs
-has new words every day: hot, hi!, Mamama, Papa, Nana, guh (go), siiii (outside), dow (down),
bwu (blue), snuh (snack), juh (juice), etc. The cutest was when I was cooking and lifted a lid, so
steam came up- my Mom noticed Luke saying, "Hot!"

Both kids have been champs with all the transitions- I was so impressed with how well they have done on countless flights and car trips to several cities and even states. They play together in the car and are really sweet. Since our Germany trip, Luke has been able to fall asleep in the car without crying- yea!! Luke has also been able to sleep in different beds and even nap at a friend's house. I am so proud of my little guys that I will overlook their early wake-ups this morning. :)
