The girls are changing so fast these days. Ida started crawling on her tummy around 6 1/2 months and sitting on her own at about 7 1/2 months. Somehow in just a few short weeks she can go from crawling, to sitting, to pulling herself up on chairs, and standing up and balancing herself holding on with just one hand. She has been eating great for the past few months. She is in 9 month clothes still but will probably be up in the next size within a month. At her appt in January she was 17 pounds and 9 ounces which put her right around the 50 percentile. She has been average so far in height and weight. She is overall a wonderful, smiley baby!
Lorena has changed a lot too in the past few months. She is still big for her age, probably around 36 pounds. She is very strong. She can talk in sentences with 4 to 6 words. She loves to play with puzzles and books and is especially close to Dan right now, which makes me smile. She is very stuck in her ways though kind of like Dan too. She is very particular about her boots, her hats, her pillow, her sippy cup, etc. Things have to be a certain way for her or it upsets her. She likes her schedule which is good because I finally feel like we are in a good flow with things at home. We just started giving Lorena and Ida baths together. It's so much fun to see them play together. Lorena can be rough on Ida but Ida is tough and can handle anything her big sister throws at her.
The best thing for Dan and me the past few weeks has been the kids finally sleeping! There are still nights when one or both wake up, but for the most part they are both sleeping through the night. They are asleep around 9 and get up around 7 in the morning on a good day. Ida is sleeping in her crib in my office and Lorena is sleeping in her double bed in her room. They still have separate rooms for now. It makes for a much better day for me and Dan when they sleep through the night. Things are finally slowing down with work for me so we are going to tackle some house projects. We are going to paint the kitchen/dining room, and get new flooring in about half of the main floor of the house. I'm pretty excited about it. Will post before and after pictures as we go.
