It's been a while since I've done an update post on the gremlins and their progress.
Things have changed so much in just a months time.
At 13 months they weight about 23lbs each. Both are crawling and the statement, "you'll be chasing one while the other goes the opposite direction", has come to life. I end up hearing one in the kitchen while the other one attempts to attack the entertainment center. Luckily if mom says no they generally listen and move along. Keeping them in one spot is nearly impossible unless there are snacks.
Both can pull themselves up to stand using furniture or other things around them. Kenzington has once or twice walked a gap from one piece of furniture to the next but they generally stay attached to the furniture walking along it. For now, anyway. They love little animals and fluffy things. Especially Oakley who likes to cuddle them.
Both talk and giggle all the time. It was probably one of the most adorable things as a mum to watch Kenzington sit on her gammas lap with a magazine flipping through the pages and reading to her gamma. Literally for 5 minutes just pointing at pictures and text, jabbing away.
Yes, Doggy, Igty (kitty), hi, daddy, momma, are the choice of words so far but they are constantly trying to say new ones. They can both sign milk, all done, and more. Dancing to music and clapping is something they just love to do daily.
Just like their mom they love to swim and can't get enough of the water, they are even attempting to kick their legs to swim now. We recently took them to Las Vegas for the 2nd time this last week and they do amazing in the car. They talk and play, never fuss and sleep without a problem. Going to see new things and new people is something they love to do as well. They flirt and just smile shying away. We thought while we were in Vegas visiting my brother that they would get scared like they sometimes do with guys they haven't met before and it had been a while since he'd seen them. Surprisingly it was like they remembered him and just loved sitting on his lap and playing. He's such a good uncle.
We now realized we have to keep their pants on at night otherwise they take off their diapers, haha. Luckily there wasn't an accident.
Both have 8 teeth and counting, we are getting to the more painful sets and it's causing some discomfort. They are chasing the dogs more and more. I'm pretty sure the dogs never thought this day would come, as Auzzie sat without moving while K probed his eye with her finger...yeah we have to watch for that now.
I cannot believe how fast they are moving along and how much we get to see for the first time daily. I've said it before but it just amazes me and I love it!
We have been blessed with some amazing kids, family and great friends who are always there. I seriously hope we can keep up with the craziness because I don't want to miss one minute of it!
For the 4th we are off to spend time with family and friends in WA. It's going to be so much fun and great to see everyone.
Everyone have a safe and happy holiday weekend! ❤
