Update

Oh boy. These little girls are growing WAY too fast!

Sofi:
She's definitely talking alot more. We're still trying to figure out what she's saying, but I think she's saying her name "sapi", she's usually said "hami" or "hum-hum" for food. There must be other words I'm forgetting.

She's a fearless little girl that likes to be in control. I think she's going to be bossing everyone around! The other day, I had just gotten home from work and they were running around and ended up with two of our remotes in their hands. At some point Sofi had both and would not give one to Alex. Sofi literally went around the dining room table with Alex running after her - Alex wanted to play with one of them too! Eventually I convinced Sofi to let Alex have one and she could play with the other. There's a black remote and a gray remote. So she gives Alex one and they play for a minute - then some how Alex sneaks the black one away from Sofi and Sofi is left with the gray one. OMG! Crocodile tears and pure screaming! Like Alex beat her up or bit her! My dad comes into the room to see what's going on, and all I can do is sit there and laugh! Seriously - she has one of the remotes, it's not like Alex is a hog like her. But she was so hurt!

Alex:
My determined perfectionist. It's so funny that we tend to think Sofi will do certain things before Alex because we see her trying to do them. Well, then we get a total surprise, when we see Alex actually DO that same task - not just try, but actually do it correctly! Just like talking - she's mastered "es-i" which means "this". Both girls actually make a lip smacking sound for yogurt! Totally funny! Alex also knows "hum-hum" for food. She's very good at pointing to what she wants.

Lately she hasn't been sleeping well. She'll wake up at 4am screaming. She'll scream if you lay down with her or pretty much do anything. So I try to calm her down and have her point to what she wants. Usually it's been to go downstairs. I still can't tell if she wants milk or water, but I don't want her to get back into the habit of having a bottle that early, so I usually try water. Then she whines and I put her down and she eventually ends up putting her head on my chest and falling asleep. I think it's just her teeth because it's been much better lately.

On the teeth (or is it tooth) front - both girls have pretty much all their teeth, including molars, and are now working on the 4 canine teeth.

Another funny story from my parents: I come home to Alex having a scratch under her eye and ask what that was from. Well, even with my dad sitting right in front of them, Alex bit Sofi's arm about three times (or at least we see three bite marks in the same area on Sofi's arm) and I guess Sofi scratched her in self-defense! That's their story - and they're sticking to it!

What else. There is so much that they do that is just AMAZING! I love how stubborn and determined they both are. They want to explore the world and try new things.

Oh - and this weekend while at MIL's, we were getting ready to leave. They had been playing with Emily all day, but it was time for naps. Alex was really into the umbrella stroller that is at my MIL's house and was enjoying a little ride in it. At some point, Emily decides that she's the only one who can play with it. OMG - the tears and screaming that came out of Alex! She usually doesn't care if someone takes something away from her - but she was so pissed by this!! I felt so bad for her. I'm just hoping that these three eventually become the best of friends that I expect them to be - we just need to get through the next few years!

On the pregnancy front, ummm... like 56 days or so left! (32 weeks) YIKES!! I'm so not ready to juggle three kids. I'm so sad that I won't have as much time with the girls. I'm really hoping that the new-to-this-pregnancy OB will take me out of work soon, I want some time with them and my work schedule and their sleep schedule just don't give us enough time. But I'm feeling good. I was dehydrated a bit last week, but thanks to Gatorade and some rest, everything is better. Little one is moving around still. It's just such big moves! My belly totally moves!

OK, I think this is all I have today - I'll have to make some smaller and more frequent posts instead of long-winded ones!
