10/19/05 Update! Sophia now has 2 teeth! They broke through sometime in the past 24-36 hours. Her bottom left one is totally through and the bottom right one is partially through. She is still putting everythign she can in her mouth and isn't too thrilled about letting us look in her mouth. She also learned to play peek a boo today by pulling the cloth off her head when we cover it and call for her. Lucas did this a while ago, and we think Soph wasn't as interested because she couldn't see as well, but she really got into it today! She was laughing and giggling when Will played with her. What fun! Lucas is starting to pull his legs up under him to get into crawling position! He also has finally found his feet and loves to chew on them and hold them. We're on our way now!
10/15/05 Well,as you can see from the pictures, we are working on pulling up on EVERYTHING! Soph has really got the hang of it, and she crawls up to me, toys, her brother, the dog, etc. and tries to pull up. She has figured out pretty much hnow to get to her knees, and she's figuring out how to get her feet under her too. She loves to stand behind the walker and just look around and hold on. She's so big! Lucas is sitting so well and he is working on pulling up too. He's rolling all over the place and playing games with Sophia. He loves to hear her talk and he giggles everytime she does. They like to talk and laugh together, and all goes great until one of them decides that the other's head will taste good, or that hair is for pulling and then the screaming begins... They are both growing up so fast and it's crazy to see how much they learn every singe day. They are amazing little ones!
10/7/05 The babies are doing GREAT! We went to the NICU reunion last Saturday and had a really nice time. We saw many of the doctors and nurses that we spent so much time with while the babies were in the hospital. It was fun to see the reactions from them when they saw how BIG our guys are! We also saw several of the families that had babies in the NICU while we did, so it was nice to catch up with them and see how their little ones are growing too! While there, they weighed and measured the kids, and also made handprints of them in play dough. SO much different than the ones from the NICU when they were born! Lucas was 23 lbs. 7 oz. and 27 1/2 inches, and Soph was 18 lbs. 2 oz. and 26 1/2 inches. GEEZ! they are HUGE!
Sophia is really on the go now, and she loves to scoot up the basket of toys and peek in. Then she grabs whatever toy she wants to play with, and rolls away. She rolls over and over and over now, so she get across the room SO fast. She giggles all the time now and is pretty much happy most of the time unless she gets herself stuck, like under the bouncy chair or the coffee table. Soph is sitting much better than even last week, and she seems to really like it, although she would rather be moving.
Lucas is also pretty happy most of the time, although he isn't as mobile yet. Our developmental therapist discovered a new game with Lucas. She got down on her tummy while he was doing tummy time, then lifts herself up and says UP! Then puts her head on the floor and says DOWN! and Lucas mimics what she does. He got a big kick out of it, and he has played it with Will and I since then! What a cutie! He now has two teeth and is still chewing on EVERYTHING!
They are so cute and we are sooo blessed.
