19 Months

The girls are doing great! They both weigh 22lbs(ish) and are at about the 10-20 percentile on the growth chart. They still struggle with reflux and textures but every day is a little better than the day before. I have a video posted that is of Adalyn sitting in her highchair jabbering at Emma. Enjoy!

Walking!!!

Thats right, both Adalyn and Emma are walking! Life is getting busy! They also love to stand and dance as they watch Praise Baby or play with their toys. Emma is very good at climbing all the way to the top of the stairs before Abi or I even notice she is gone and is very well practiced at keepng us on our toes. Adalyn can also climb the stairs but she is much more cautious. The girls are at the 20% on the growth chart but have had minimal weight gain over the last 8 weeks so Dr. G. has them on a high calorie diet and we need to check their weight again in a couple weeks. The girls have also decided that they are done with bottles, so we don't have to worry about weening them off. They eat some table foods (cheerios, muffins, mashed patatoes, frosting, yogurt, and pudding) but are mostly on baby food yet because their reflux causes them to be gaggy and particular about textures. Both girls are waving and saying hi, they lift their arms above their heads when you ask them how big they are, they love to give us hugs and kisses when we ask for them. They both also say "all yunn" (all done) at the end of each meal. Emma has an adorable way of saying "nigh nigh" when she is tired. Adalyn is a little more vocal than Emma and is also saying down, ball, block and baby. Probably the cutest thing in the world is when they kiss eachother, several times a day they randomly crawl or walk over to eachother and kiss! They love eachother and will play for a couple hours a day all by themsevles and they love to jabber back and forth to eachother. They are great at sharing and rarely get upset when the other steals a toy from them. They both have 6 teeth and have been handling the teething process very well. They sleep about 11 hours at night and take two 1 hour naps during the day. Thank you for all of your prayers! I hope that our girls are a testament to GOD's awesome power and HIS willingness to preform miracles. Sorry that we have been bad bloggers but we do appreciate your support.

Long Overdue

It has been a long time since we have updated the blog with how Adalyn & Emma are doing. Well things are going great. We are so thankful & praise God for their progress. On November 5th, 2010 we celebrated their first birthday which was an enjoyable and emotional time for us. Recalling what we went through November 5, 2009 and the joy and the fear we felt that day as we welcomed our 2 little 1 lb 15 oz princesses into this world. At their appoitment for their first birthday Adalyn weighed 19lbs 7oz and was 28 inches long and Emma weighed 19lbs 6.5 ounces and was 28 1/4 inches long. The girls are jabbering up a storm, crawling like maniacs (Emma traditional crawl, Adalyn has a super army crawl). Emma pulls herself up to her knees on everything and to her feet on many things as well. Adalyn is more cautious and tends to pull herself up to what she can easily get down from otherwise she gets very scared. We are not walking yet, but doing better and better with standing with just one hand held and walking with both hands held. They are currently fighting colds and doing great.
