The girls keep growing up and doing new things every day it seems. One of the bigger milestones is that they are now both in toddler beds. Laityn decided it would be fun to crawl out of her crib. I figured it would be better for her to be in a toddler bed than to risk her falling 3-4 feet off that ground from her crib. So we got out her toddler bed. It only took one night with her in the "big girl bed," and then Kamryn started trying to climb out of her crib. So now they are both in toddler beds. So hard to believe since they seem way too little to be in them!
They have also increased their vocabulary - the newest word they can't get enough of is, "baby." They call every child they see a baby, and point to pictures and say, "baby." They love playing with their baby dolls (which are wearing their matching preemie clothes), and will try wrapping them up in blankets and feed them their sippy cups.
Other words they have discovered are, mama, daddy, football, ball, duck, uh oh, shoes, socks, brush, yea, pretty. They also understand pretty much everything you tell them. If you ask them to brush their teeth, they will run and get their toothbrush. Same with bath time - running to the bathroom. Or if you ask them to get their clothes, shoes, jammies, etc, they run straight to their room and try opening the closet door. Its amazing how well they communitcate despite having a limited vocabulary.
Kamryn has gotten into the habit of hitting and throwing things, and will get angry and hit her head on things. Laityn can also stomp her feet and throw one heck of a fit. They fight with each other and I actually put Kamryn in time out the other day ;)
They continue to sleep about 11 hours at night, and will sometimes nap one or two times. They love to eat and snack. One of their favorite foods is cheeseballs and granola bars. They will eat usually anything we give them, and if they don't, they throw it off their high chairs.
Laityn has 14 teeth and Kamryn has 13. It will be a great day when they are finished teething! Laityn has also graduated from the caridiologist. We are oficially specialist free! A year-and-a-half in the making! Feels so good!
It seems like our house is more childproofed than ever. I never remember having to childproof this much with Macyn! They literally get into everything. They have broken door locks and have gotten into cabinets (and have even locked each other in them). They climb on everything - highchairs, shelves, beds, you name it. They are fearless!
People still tell me, "I cannot imagine." I can't imagine life without them - this business is our normal and it doesn't even phase us anymore. We still get a lot of attention when we are out and about, but it is normal to us. Some days are harder than others, but at the end of the day, we are incredibly blessed.
