Grammy's Visit

So, I'm sorry it's been so long since I last updated the blog. At the end of Feb., beginning of March we had our first solo visit from Grammy and had an absolute blast. We can't wait for her to come back soon!

Alex (20 mos):
Not much new with me. I'm still not talking a whole lot, but I love to babble. I understand what I am saying, just no one else does and that is OK with me. We have had some nice weather so I've been playing outside a lot which I love. Amelia is ok, I guess. Sometimes she is fun to play with, sometimes she just takes too much of Mommy's time if you ask me.

Amelia (7 mos):
I'm not crawling yet, and according to Mommy it doesn't look like I care to. I do try occasionally, but I am just as content to roll from one end of the room to another. This Alex kid keeps coming and taking all of the toys Mom gives me. Most of the time, its not worth caring, but you know every once in a while I'll throw a fit about it, just to throw him off.

As you know last month I started solid foods. Well, mommy decided to try something called Baby-Led Weaning instead of purees. Partly, to help avoid me being a picky eater like Alex. Anyway, you'll see lots of silly food pics this month as I am exploring my food and making ginormous messes. Have fun!!

Alex (19 months):
Not much new with me. I am still a big ole trouble maker. I like to climb and steal toys from my sister.

Amelia (6 months):
Well I made it to my 1/2 year mark. I am 27" tall (95%) and 15 lbs 6 oz heavy (50%). The Dr. said I am coming along beautifully. I've started solid foods and love everthing I have tried except carrots.

Leave my cookie alone!

Alex (18 mos):

I am a year and a half now and as strong-willed as ever. I had my check up and everything is going well. I am 34" tall (85%) and 25.5lbs (55%) - so I'm starting to get Daddy's skinny legs. I still don't talk all that much, but the Dr. thinks everything is fine I will just do it when I decide. We had a lot of fun this month putting up the tree and even a few warm days (like shorts weather if you can believe it!) that we made it up to the park.

Amelia (5 mos):

What's new with me? Well, I had cereal for the first time and demolished it, Mommy says no surprise b/c I am such a good eater. I am rolling over all of the time and pretty much sitting on my own. I celebrated my first Hannukah and Christmas and both wer just splendid. I think my big brother is the funniest person around, especially when he kisses me or pretends to hold a phone to my ear.
