Both girls have a love for the Baby Signing Time videos. We checked out a couple of them and they will sign baby and then look at the TV when they want to watch them. How can you resist that? They are obsessed with these videos and are totally mesmerized when they are on. The Wheels on the Bus song has now been replaced by me singing Baby Signing Time when I want to get their attention or stop them from whining/crying. As of now they can sign, Baby, Time, More, Milk, All Done, and Siena just learned Please yesterday.
Neither of them are saying any real words yet. The doctor was happy with their signing though. She said twins are usually late talkers because of 'twin speak' where they can speak to each other and they understand each other and no one else can. I don't really see them talking to each other much (except yelling or giggling with each other but the doctor says that is it) but they sure do babble a ton around each other and act like they are saying things so not really sure. Siena is a little closer to saying things that I think I'm understanding so I'm sure it's just around the corner. Just need to her to say it in context.
Siena
21 lbs 8 oz - 30%
31.5 inches - 85%
Siena still has no teeth. The doctor wants me to take her to get X-rays done but then said there wasn't much they can do anyways. So I think I'll wait a little while longer. Where are her teeth? Siena has learned to fake cry and it's pretty funny. All I do is laugh when she starts fake crying. Siena likes to be read to but she likes to hold the book herself so she pretty much dictates what page we read and what order we go in and many times just gets up and walks away. Siena is starting to climb more and more. She can escape just about any barricade we try to put up. One of Siena's favorite things to do is after we change diapers she likes to take the diaper to the trash. For some reason up until yesterday she would not put the diaper in the trash but would drop it 5 feet before the trash but she knows that is her job and she loves it.
Aria
20 lbs 2 oz - 15%
30.5 inches - 50%
Aria is walking and walking all over the place. My favorite thing about her walking is when she goes to turn she plants her left foot and then pivots with her right foot until she's facing the direction she wants to go and then keeps walking. Aria has 3 teeth and one bulging just waiting to come out. Aria is the one that will find a book and walk it over to me to read it to her. She'll let me read to her for however long and rarely gets bored if I read the same book over and over again. We have 2 windows in our family room where the girls play and there is one window that if the shutter is closed Aria will go over and open it. Sometimes I don't think about it and as it gets dark I go over and close it only to turn around and find Aria over there opening it back up.
This age is so fun and cute with how excited they get learning new things and how their face lights up when they know they've done something good/cute/mischievous, etc. However this age is also pretty exhausting with how much attention they both demand at the same time. Both girls are still pretty attached to me and many times both want to be held. In fact sometimes I'm holding one and if I sit down they get mad. They love to be carried around. They do pretty good entertaining themselves for small periods at a time so I can't complain. It's just they always want attention right when I'm trying to get something else done. They almost always win though! :) We still love our little girls more then ever and are still amazed what blessings they have brought into our lives.
