10 Months Old

Each Day is a New Adventure

The girls turned 10 months old on Thursday, May 1, 2014 - Hard to believe how much they have endured and grown in ten months.  Each day they discover something new.  We are so incredibly blessed.  

Cool Like My Aunt

Silly Little Monkey

Cecilia Hope

Cecilia is learning how to roll over and sit up.  She's always been strong but she is proving it daily by teaching her body how to move about despite all her surgeries.  The multiple stomach surgeries have made sitting up and developing her motor skills a challenge but she works hard and won't let anything stop her.  

Thank you Aunt Amy for my new toy!

Iz & Daddy

Isabelle Grace

Isabelle is starting to prefer time with her momma over others, which can make meal time a bit of a challenge.  She is also working on sitting up on her own completely unassisted - she just needs to get her head completely up, looking forward.  Her crawling is improving and, per usual, she still prefers to stand.  

Zoe Elizabeth

I'm a pirate!

It's hard work being a pirate  : /

Zoe has mastered sitting completely upright on her own.  We walked into the nursery one morning and she was simply enthralled with her new perspective.  She prefers to sit up now instead of laying on her belly.  Zoe has also improved on her crawling and is starting to pull herself up onto other things to be able to stand.  We already had to lower the pack and play and will probably have to lower the cribs soon too!

Playing Together

WOW!!  It moves!

Zoe and Isabelle have finally discovered each other and LOVE to play together.  Ok, Isabelle loves to bother Zoe and Zoe just kind of puts up with Iz but they are playing together.  

High Chairs and Food

Over the weekend we broke out the high chairs.  Thank you Traci and Auntie Valerie for your generosity!!  We love the high chairs - they are perfect!!

Zoe and Isabelle still do not know what they think about them yet.  On one hand it is something new and different, yet on the other, it means momma or daddy is not holding them.  So in other words, the jury is still out...

Our girls are little piggies!! They eat between 30-35 ounces of milk a day so unfortunately my frozen milk supply is finally starting to decrease.  As a result, we have also started to introduce a spoon to the girls to see how they will respond.  I did purchase our first containers of rice cereal so that will be the next step ... 

Wish us luck!
