Hmmm...what's new with the girls this month? I'm trying to think if there are any major milestones. I think Avery and Camille are having more gross motor development lately. Avery can jump with both feet coming off the floor and Camille can almost jump. Brelynn isn't jumping yet, but she's picking up speed and you could almost call it running. Avery and Camille can independently do a summersault. Brelynn tries but it looks more like standing on her head and falling over sideways :) And the climbing...oy! I'm pretty sure one of the girls (Avery?) climbed onto our kitchen table and pulled my coffee cup off last week. How she did it I'll never know. I think Brelynn is working on catching up with her sisters in the gross motor development and she's pulling ahead in her communication. She is starting to say some short 2-word phrases like 'dada work' and '(where) dogdog go?' in addition to all the requests for more food (they all say/sign 'more ____ please', usually asking for crackers or cookies). They all know so many body parts (all the obvious ones plus sometimes elbow, eyebrow, knee, shoulder, chin, cheek). The girls love their fruits and veggies and have been known to put down a cookie to eat broccoli or beans. But don't worry, they also love chocolate milk and licking the beaters after I make frosting. In fact, Camille loves food so much that she ate too much and threw up in her crib after we put her to bed this week. I found 'the incident' in the morning and felt terrible that she had to sleep with that in her crib all night. I really hope it's a very, very long time before anyone gets sick again. Apparently I don't handle puke very well. Blood, no problem, but vomit...it's not for me.
We are so blessed to have such wonderful girls. They're starting to play together for a little while at times throughout the day. I've caught them pushing each other on the swing and giggling and sharing toys without me asking them to lately. I know the terrible two's are knocking on the door (tantrums are also getting more frequent), but for now I'm going to enjoy the moment and consider myself such a lucky mommy!
