SIENA HAS TEETH!!! 2 days before she turned 16 months, I finally felt a tooth about to pop through. Miracle. So happy I don't have to take her to a dentist to get x-rays. She has been so much happier since that tooth and quickly after 2 others have come in. Yay for teeth. So Aria has 4, Siena has 3. Now we can start working on the bigger teeth I guess.
Aria has randomly started crossing her fingers. I've been trying to get a picture but haven't been able to yet. It's so funny to see. In the bathtub, in her high chair, walking around...you just look down and her left hand has her 2 fingers crossed like she's wishing good luck for something.
We've been trying to get the girls to learn some body parts. Aria can point to her nose and just learned to stick out her tongue when you ask her where her tongue is. If you ask Siena 'where is your ....fill in the blank.' she will point to her head/hair. Doesn't matter what it is...so she doesn't quite get that concept yet.
Overall the girls are just plain getting older. Every so often I just look at them and realize they really are just little toddlers now. It's crazy how much older they seem to me all of the sudden. They understand almost everything we tell them. Many times, I say something not really thinking they understand and they turn around and do what I've just said and I just stand there kind of shocked that they just understood that.
They are into EVERYTHING. They love their puzzles, which they're pretty good at, strolling their doll strollers around, chasing the ball all over the house, still love books, rocking on their rocking horse, playing on the couch, and making each other laugh to see who can have the highest pitched scream (Fyi...Aria does hands down!)
They LOVE playing and standing on the couch. We try and try to tell them they can only sit on the couch but it never works. We've even tried time out for a few days and it helped but they love to play and wrestle with each other. It makes me nervous that they're going to get really hurt and even when I'm sitting right there, 2 of them going in opposite directions sometimes 1 falls before I can get to her. So far no major bruises, just some scared little girls. Not that it stops them for very long. I can't even get a focused picture of them cuz they're so fast.
Siena has this thing with one particular blanket, she'll drag it across the room to me and want me to put it over her so she can hide under it, play peekaboo and/or see how long it takes her to get it off. Her smaller blankets do not provide as much entertainment so she always finds this blanket to use and it usually takes her about 5 minutes to drag the big thing over to me.
We also moved them to one nap a day. Their naps became harder and harder to get 2 into one day. They were short and sporadic and it seemed one was always up earlier then the other and back and forth we went. So we switched them to one nap. It took Siena a couple days to catch on that she needed to sleep longer but now they're both sleeping 2 1/2 - 3 hours and it's heaven having them just sleep one time a day for a longer period. Loving the one nap schedule so far.
