Seth and Sam: 15 months old

Wow, I can't believe that the boys are now 15 months old! We've had a very busy couple of months, and let me tell you: these twins are keeping me running! Ben and I are having a blast watching the boys grow and learn every day. We are also exhausted from them jogging everywhere, climbing everything, and developing wills of their own. Here's some of what Seth and Sam  have been up to lately:
-Saying quite a few words: Dada, Mama, cracker, hot, eye
-Lots of animal noises: meow, ruff, moo, baa, quack, meow
-Doing motions to the song, "The Wheels on the Bus"
-Singing along to Old McDonald, "Eee-iii, eee-iii" (no "o" yet)
-Pointing to lots of body parts
-Mimicing every day tasks such as combing their hair, patting mommy and daddy on the back, stretching with daddy, putting on shoes
-They are obsessed with playing with brooms. I'm really not sure why, but they are. Initially I tried hiding ours because that is all that they wanted to play with (and really, our brooms are gross!) Finally, I gave in, headed to the dollar store and bought them each their own broom.
-They LOVE playing outside. They spend their days exploring dirt, trees, plants, and rocks, and pointing to planes in the sky.
-Seth and Sam have also learned to throw some doozy fits. Yikes. They are arching their back, pushing us away, getting mad when we take something from them, screaming, etc. I'm learning that kids of "good parents" still throw fits, it's just what the parents do about it that matter..
-Our kids stare. When they see a new person, they don't smile and wave. Nope. They stare. In fact, they stare with a sort of scowl. Oh, and sometimes they point. Great.
-At least once a day, I find both boys laying on their backs under the coffee table "exploring". They point their little fingers at things they see and just chat away. It is very special.
-They love playing chase.
-Seth loves to read, and tells quite the stories while he looks at books. A lot of times he looks at pages and cackles. It's so cute.
-Sammy continues to be a daddy's boy and often times cries when Ben leaves in the morning. Both boys stare at the window in the morning as daddy leaves. It's so cute. They are both struggling a little with seperation.
