Where does the time go?! I remember my parents, especially mom, telling me how fast time goes when you get older, but I never could have imagined it going this fast! My babies are 20 months old already and in less than 6 months, they will have a baby brother or sister. Wow!
I can't believe all that they are doing now. Mom and I took them with us Christmas shopping Friday. Mom was pushing Nora in the cart and I was pushing Colton. We went to look at different things and all of a sudden Colton started calling for Nora, by name! It comes out "Ora", and is so cute! Any time we would separate or she got out of sight, he would start calling "Ora"! He even does it after he gets up out of bed and he wants her to come play with him. They are both starting to say a lot more.
They are both really into Christmas. They love the lights, trees, and all the "ho ho hos". Every time they see Santa (on TV, an ornament, decoration, or someone dressed as him) they start saying "Ho Ho Ho". We can't wait to watch them open their presents Christmas morning. Andy decided they didn't have enough to open, so he had to go buy them a few more things. I am beginning to understand how my mom felt when she was all done with the shopping and dad decided to go out and get a few more things. Not that I mind. And he did get some cute things.
We went to breakfast with Santa at our church and the kids loved seeing Santa. Colton had no issues sitting on his lap, but Nora held onto mommy with a death grip (even though she kept pointing to him and saying "ho ho ho") so mommy had to be in the Santa photo.
The munchkins playhouse arrived and they are loving it! Colton's new favorite thing to do is run into the back corner when somebody wants him to come to them because he knows we can't reach him there. He especially likes to do this when mommy wants to change his diaper or it is nap time. Nora's favorite thing to do is have Grandma (or Mamaw as she is calling her now) get in the playhouse with her and then she won't let her get back out. Any time mom tries, Nora will push her back in. 
I managed to fix another meal that was apparently plate licking good. I fed the kids chicken casserole a while back and Colton proceeded to lick his plate clean while saying "Mmmmm". Last night we fed the kids spaghetti and meat sauce. They loved it and both proceeded to lick their plates clean. Boy did they make a mess, but they loved it. It was tubby night, so we didn't mind the mess. 
The last pic is of Nora playing with "Aunt" Lauren's sunglasses. She had the best time with them!

I love the new updates/pictures of the twins! Even though I participated in many of your stories, I get a smile out of hearing about them. Especially, how Nora kept shaking her head 'no' if I asked her if I could get out of the playhouse, and when I tried, she would shove my forehead until I retreated back into it again. She is going to be in to accessories, so you may want to add sunglasses, purse, jewelry, etc...to her Christmas list! Mr. C has been extremely vocal lately. Not that he never was. He always did experiment with sounds, but now he is starting to make words. So cute!
SO glad to see the kids gave you time to update your blog. The pictures are adorable! I need to see the wee ones soon. I miss them!
