Updates

The girls are doing great! Both are getting over their colds. Hopefully we can make it at least a few weeks before they get the next one.

Olivia is going through a sensitive phase. It seems like everything makes her cry these days. I know I drove my parents crazy doing the same thing.....for years....but this is worse. I know it is because it's happening to me! It's just a phase.....It's just a phase......It's just a phase! Other than that, she's doing very well. There hasn't been anything stuck up her nose....that we know of. She continues to pee pee in the potty at least once or twice each day. She's a long way off from getting rid of the diapers but we're making progress. She's also talking up a storm and doing very well with her ABC's and her counting from 1 to 20. Saturday, we walked around the nature park by out development to collect leaves and other nature items to bring into daycare. This week they are learning the letter "F" and one of the topics is fall. Changing leaves, pine cones, and acorns are things you find in the fall.

Addison is a wonderful baby and has adjusted very well to being at daycare. Last Wednesday I'm happy to say that she slept through the night. Not just a 5 hour stretch that the doctors consider sleeping through the night. She slept from 9:30 pm until it was time to get up at 6:00 am. It was great (especially because it was my turn to get up with her)!!! Most nights she wakes up around 5......still fantastic. She was 9 weeks when she slept through the night. Olivia didn't start sleeping through the night consistently until she was 9 months old. What a difference! What else can I say about Addie?? She has a great smile!! She smiles more and more when you talk to her and she loves to smile at the mobile hanging on her crib. She's a very happy baby. I'm also excited to say that her hair is growing!!! During her bath tonight, we weren't just soaping up her head. There was hair long enough to move around and then brush after the bath!
