Since my last post about our trip to Ottawa the girls have changed so much. It was actually interesting for me to reflect upon all they have done in the past month. The girls continue to cut teeth with Molly sporting 8 teeth and Abigail showing off 5 chiclets. In Flavour Town the girls are virtually done eating pureed food, minus the yogurt and apple sauce they seem to enjoy. It is amazing to see how developed their pincer grasp has become, the girls are efficient little eaters now! We have also started them on a bit of homo-milk which they seem to enjoy. Both girls have fully mastered drinking through the straw on their sippy cups. Their motor skill development has also been amazing to watch. Abigail has fully abandoned her combat-army-worm crawl and is racing around on all fours. The girls now clap and stomp their feet while we sing "If You're Happy and You Know It". Pulling up to their knees and reaching for objects on coffee tables and sofas is common place, with a few attempts at pulling themselves upright. One of the most entertaining developments is the girls enjoyment of playing peek-a-boo with one another while hiding underneath my black bathing suit sarong wrap. The girls will laugh and laugh together as they peek through the sheer material.
Our last big milestone is the elimination of our "Whale of a Good Time" baby bathtub. The girls are now happily playing and bathing together in the big tub. If we let them, I think the girls would play in the tub for hours. They scream, splash and shriek at one another while exploring the water, especially when it is pouring out of the faucet. It is definitely the highlight of our evenings!
Here is a picture of the girls playing away in the tub together! With my maternity leave coming to an end this weekend, fun times in the bathtub will something I look forward to every night with my girls!
