More teeth!!

On Wednesday January 25th I felt Sofi's first little tooth poking out! My baby girls are just growing up so fast - I want to press the stop button.

We had out OT appointment that day. I love Jocelyn. She's such a sweetheart and just takes her time with us and my neurotic questions. Sofi is doing great. She even commented that she could be crawling very soon...like in as little as two weeks! I have a hard time believing that - she's just not quite there. She's doing amazing sitting up! I left her to play a bit yesterday and I think she sat up on her own for about 3-5 minutes! Then she reached for something and toppled over! She's such a trooper though - not a complaint. So we were given a few exercises for teaching her how to crawl on all fours and to keep helping her strengthen her core muscles.

Alex - well, Alex is just like her daddy. She only does things when she wants to and you can't force her. She has a killer grasp! But needs a bit more trunk strengthening. So we got some exercises for her and we need to not support her as much when she sits up. Just let her feel like she's tipping over so she understands what to do. But when she wants to do something - she's do it!

We also had our 6 month visit with Dr K. Went very well! Little Alex is now 9 ounces heavier than Sofi. I need to get a copy of their stats from home and post them - but overall they are in the 50th percentiles - except Alex's head is in the 90th! Takes after her mamma!

We also got the ok to start solids!!! YAY!!! So hopefully tonight they'll be in a good mood and I can try it out. Their spoons are washed and the rice cereal is sitting in thier cupboard!

We still have the girls in separate rooms at night, but I think they're getting better at sleeping for longer periods of time. It also helps that I think I finally figured out their bedtime should be at about 7:30 for things to go well. That doesn't mean it works out every day - Alex decided that she was pooped at 5pm yesterday and slept until about 9:30pm - but that also meant she was pretty wide awake at 4am. It's a work in progress.

I just can't stop saying how much I love these two. They are just so different yet as loveable as can be. How did I get so lucky? Sofi just has the softest little hands. They do feel like satin. And when she wants to hold your hand - omg. Her little face lights up already when she sees Alex. It's the sweetest thing ever. And Alex - she gets so excited at times and smiles so wide that it's just contagious. I try to have her sit in a chair so I can take a picture of her and she gets so excited that she tips over! Thankfully I'm always holder her and quick to grab her! My heart is just so full.
