Aria started clapping right after she turned 10 months. Although she claps with one hand open and one hand in a fist. It's pretty funny.
Both girls are babbling non stop. They talk to us, talk to their toys or just talk to hear their voice.
Aria has this high pitched, deafening scream. It's kind of cute, and kind of not. Siena thinks it's pretty funny when Aria screams and so it only eggs her on that much more. Siena has this scream that she half whispers. It's funny and not sure why she doesn't scream louder, but I'm not complaining.
Both girls have gotten super clingy this month. It's cute when they want me to hold them and it's not cute when I can't walk into the kitchen without one or both of them bursting into tears and crawling, crying trying to find me.
They both like when I read books to them although Aria's attention span lasts a lot longer then Siena's. Their favorite book to read them is this farm animal book that makes sounds when you press the button. The love it and I love reading it to them.
Aria's favorite thing to do lately is blow raspberries on the couch, on my leg, on the bathtub wall, or the fireplace hearth. (hearth...that's for you Brigitte, 'please don't stand on my hearth.') Whatever surface allows her to do it, she is blowing raspberries. She tried to do it on my jeans the other day and was frustrated that she couldn't do it.
Aria is pulling up to a stand on the couch and is slowly making progress to walking along the couch. She can get herself down most of the time, but it seems like sometimes she forgets she knows how. She also learned this month to go from crawling to a sitting position.
Siena is all over the place and is starting to let go when she's standing. She loves to walk behind the high chair as she pushes it across the kitchen.
Siena started screaming when she wanted more food on her high chair tray. That didn't go over very well with me for very long so I taught her to sign the word more. She picked it up the same meal I taught her and it's so cute to watch her sign more. She does it more like clapping but puts her fingers together instead of a full clap. All I have to say is 'do you want more, or what do you say' and she signs more.
Siena just this week has started sucking her thumb!! Hello, she still has her binky but I've found her several times this week with her thumb in her mouth. This seems very odd to me as she's never done it up until this point and still always has her binky. Not sure what to think of this.
Aria loves flinging our door stops and Siena has discovered our stairs. Although she has only made it up one. We'll see how long that lasts. So far we don't even block the upstairs and she seems to never really care and crawls right past them to her and Aria's favorite room, Shane's office. They hang out in there all the time and love to explore that room. They love to pull on the cords of all his computer equipment. And would bang on his computer (or mine) all day if we let them.
Both are eating and sleeping really well. We are working on sippy cups and they almost have that down. They love to drink out of them but only tip them part way up. Both have become little beggars for food we eat. We can't eat a meal without them begging for bites of our food, even when they've just eaten. We of course almost always oblige and I think it's good to get them used to more and different foods when they can handle it.
And the cutest thing they both started doing this month. As soon as I get home from work they both scream and get so excited to see me and come crawling right over as fast as they can. Sometimes I don't even make it into the family room and just sit down in the kitchen to say hi. I love that they are so excited to see me every time I get home from work.

They're just growing up so fast. How could this happen? I love reading about all their little antics. So fun.
