"Goscars" and "shashi"

Alex's is almost 23 months old now, and his language skills are developing rapidly. He pretty much repeats or tries to repeat everything we say and has a pretty good command on the things he sees everyday. One of those thing is our beloved cats--Oscar and Lexie. Alex refers to them as "Goscars" and "Shashi". He LOVES our cats! He chases them around the house, much to their dismay. He pets them non-stop and he calls for them at random times when he's in a friendly mood. He also loves to yell at them! LOL. I guess he sees Abe and I scolding them all the time for jumping on things, eating what they shouldn't scrathing things, etc. and he follows suit. Oscar likes to jump on our counter and eat our bamboo and Alex shouts"No, Goscars get!" Or he'll say "shew" to the cats if they come anywhere near his snacks. It's pretty funny to watch. It's been really inetersting to watch him start to notice the cats and start to love them as his "brother and sister". It gets a little crazy aorund here with two kids and two animals to take care of, but we wouldn't have it any other way! On another note, Amaya is almost 3 months old and smiling more and more everyday. She is very attentive and alert and loves to be held and talked to. She recently had RSV and it was so sad to see her lethargic and sick, because she's so full of life and happy. She is now getting better and we are so thankful that she has pulled through the RSV okay. She now weighs 9lbs. 6 oz. and is growing everyday. We can'twait to see who she will look like and act like as time goes on. Enjoy the pictures from the lat few weeks!

Our two babies! One calm and one wild!
