Happy Thanksgiving

The cold weather and rain has kept us housebound and oddly enough a stomach ran is still running through the house. Sofie started throwing up early Thursday morning, fortunately it passed quickly and she was able to eat yummy turkey dinner. She was still a little moody but Auntie J was able to get some good pictures of her when she was happy.

Friday night around dinnertime, Maia got it. She threw up for about 4hrs straight and passed out watching Spongebob in my arms. And now poor Nana seems to have it.

In other news, Sofie has taken a couple steps unassisted and Maia has stood unassisted for a few seconds!

13mo update

It has been a while since I posted, these little girls have been keeping me busy!
We have been doing some visiting, we went to visit Mimi, Pops and Uncle Tim; we went to Uncle Pete and Auntie Emily's; and we went to Friendly's for the first time.

The story of the goldfish:






We went to Friendly's with Auntie J and the 2 little boys she watches. The girls were very well-behaved and loved seeing other kids.

Maia

Maia has been doing some physical therapy for her gross motor skills delays. This week the therapist had her standing assisted, cruising and climbing!
Sofia is now standing unassisted and says 'BOOM' every time she falls down.

Sofie's new favorite word is 'moose', this should come as no surprise to anyone who has been to our house or met my mother.
Maia's new favorite song is Old McDonald and she sings 'E-I-E-I' all the time.
If you ask them what a pig, sheep, and cow say, they will make their sounds.
Their Grampa taught them their age, if you ask them how old they are, they will hold up one finger.

We also dropped a nursing session last night. I replaced it with a sippy cup of warm milk. The girls didn't even seem to miss it which made me really sad, so we are now down to 1 nursing session a day, which I am in no hurry to drop and hopefully it will be the extra boost they need this winter to keep them from getting sick.
