Stella and Lucia are 11 months!



Another month has gone by and I feel like time is really flying now!  The girls seem to have grown so much in just the past few weeks!    The babies are very busy and fun.  Here are some of the things that they are doing:


-They are clapping 2 objects together, and are so proud of themselves when they do

-They are saying"baba", "bob", "mama" and "gaga" pretty consistently
-They are crawling around like crazy!  They LOVE to be chased!
-They are sleeping pretty consistently from 7:30 ish to 6 ish every night
-They are still wearing size 3 diapers and are wearing size 9 month clothes.  The 12 month clothing is still too big.





They may not be saying so much, but they both understand so much:

-they wave bye bye

-they bark when they see any animal (oo oo)
-they bury their head in their blanket when you say "night night"
-they put their head on your shoulder when you say "hug" 



They do not like loud noises!  They are very sensitive to sounds. :(




We are still trying to get them to eat people foods.  Lulu is doing better, but Stella is still vomiting when she eats real food.   It is also getting to be so hard to feed them, as they are crying once we put them in their high chairs.  They are eating small puffs, pancakes, yogurt, peas (but they spit out), mashed up bananas, mashed up avocados, and applesauce.  We have been trying to get new soft foods in them, but don't want to push too much.

Here are some pics of Stella:





And some of Lulu:

Giana's First Day of Winnetka Covenant Church Preschool


Giana has been very excited about going to her new school, Winnetka Covenant Church preschool.  Her teacher, Miss Linnea, is a former parent of mine, so it is very fun that she is now Giana's teacher.  There are only 6 students in her class, and all girls!  I know that she will have a wonderful year!
