Over the last few weeks the twins (they are almost 19 months) have started putting two or three words together in sentences and adding lots of words to their vocabulary. Nana no longer means all types of food but instead actually (usually) only means banana for example.

This morning Joel asked me for a nana. I kind of ignored him because lately he’s just been squishing bananas and he had already eaten several things for breakfast.

But then he pointed again at the bananas, smiled sweetly, and said, “Peez? Peez nana?”

No way could I say no to that! He got his banana and he finished his entire half, too. Guess he really, really wanted a banana.
