Ah, updates.

The past week has been rather hectic – it snowed in again and we’ve been cooped up indoors pretty much the entire week. I hate winter, I really do. And to top it off, the girls haven’t been themselves this past week either. Natasha has been throwing a tantrum on top of a tantrum non-stop and Veronika’s been clingy and needy (I think she might be getting more teeth).

Veronika also learned to pull herself up to a standing position; she can only do it in the playpen right now, but she’s been trying to pull onto the couch and coffee table as well. She’s very very determined and into everything. On top of that, she turned into a little copycat. I shake my finger at her, she shakes it right back at me. She can now wave and say bye-bye, but it sounds like “bee-bee”, it’s very cute. And then each time she drops a toy or makes a mess, she exclaims “uh-oh!” The child is growing way too fast.

And Natasha… well, Natasha doesn’t stop talking. She turned into a complete chatterbox. It’s, “what’s that?” and “who’s that?” pretty much the entire day and I must acknowledge her or she won’t stop asking. Sometimes I wish she had a mute button. And I am sure the “why?” phase is just around the corner. But besides that, she’s been really expanding her vocabulary and can say pretty much anything she wants. She’s also developing some preferences… if I put her in a shirt that she approves off, it’s: “oooohh, nice, I like!”, but if it’s a not-so-nice shirt, it’s: “no, not nice, don’t like!”

*sigh* I am looking forward to the spring.
