All they can do and they aren't even two!!

I am amazed every day by everything that they do...both of them can count (Jack can count to ten, Claire tries but then somehow goes directly to 14 and 18). Both can sing the ABC song (although it gets a little jumbled in the middle after "i" and seems to clear up after "w".) They know so many words and even verbs. Claire says "running" "swimming" "jumping" "eating" "sleeping" and knows what they all mean. She puts together 2 and 3 word sentences no problem. Jack isn't as verbal but still knows a lot of words. He is great with blocks and puzzles. He can stack blocks 14 high (probably could do higher if we were taller). He can do puzzles that are for 3 and 4 year olds and acts like it is no big deal. He is so funny because he likes to carry around fruit (oranges, lemons, apples). He will always go around and tell you what he has -- "orange, orange, orange." Claire carries her babies around (her pink and blue teddy bears) and reads to them. She also loves to color! She can hold a crayon just perfectly. Claire knows so many animals -- she can distinguish between tiger, lion, leopard. She knows otter, whale and dolphin. It is amazing!! I can't believe they aren't even two. They even know their colors (although Claire will tell you that everything is pink first but when you pin her down, she will admit is another color :). I used to say that I wish they would do more "tricks." Well I got 'em!
