14 months!


It is hard to believe that the girls are now 14 months old. Both girls say all sorts of words including their own little versions of Mom, Dad, Hannah="Na", yes, no, boo, and all sorts of other words we still don't understand. They love to talk to each other in their own little language. They squeal with glee whenever we pick Hannah up from school, they know the place and love the sight of other children. They both can pull themselves up from laying to sitting, from sitting to standing-by furniture, and love to cruise around the couch and table and chairs and us. Both have snuck up a few stairs when the incentive was good enough, (i.e. trying to get to big sister's purse or Dojo's kitty food dish.) They behave well during church and love to make faces and smiles at all of the people. They love music, they love it when we sing and they love listening to all kinds of songs on the CD player. They both be-bop their little bodies along to the beat, Emma seems to have a strong sense of rhythm and Sara just loves to boogie. Their favorite food is yogurt, any flavor really, and string cheese, and bananas. They eat just about anything. They still take two naps a day. One in the morning about 2.5 hours after waking (around 9am) and one after lunch at about 1pm. They go to bed (after a bedtime snack of yogurt and fruit, family prayer and song) in their own room in their own cribs with few minutes of white noise and usually dose off and may even fuss a little. They usually sleep through the night unless one of them is sick, or teething. They have been very healthy babies that have only had slight colds a few times during these past 14 months and once or twice have just had icky fevers. They love to take baths, together of course. They love to go shopping just like big sis did when she was little. They love to visit Dad at work. They love to play with the cordless phone and TV remote. They are getting so big. They already wear 18-24 month clothes. Sometimes we dress them alike and sometimes we dress them in similar outfits that have different colors or patterns. They love to play together, they could do it for hours. We are grateful everyday for our sweet, healthy, happy babies!
