11 Months old and counting. Wow! I am always amazed at how fast these months go by. I totally understand this quote: "The days are long, but the years are short." by Gretchen Rubin author of "The Happiness Project." Some days seem never ending, but then when I look back over the month or 6 months or a year...time seems to zoom by. I'm so grateful for pictures and taking the time to write in my journal because these babies are growing up!
So here's what I wrote in my journal about the babies on October 11
Isak's big things are:
He stands without holding onto anything. He can stand for a good 30 seconds before he gets bored. He reaches his arms over his head. He does downward facing dog. So cute.
He opens cupboards and takes things out and climbs in.
He eats everything. His favorites are cheese, bread and bananas. Oh, he downed a fruit yogurt packet too. I don't buy those very often though. He pats his head when he's done eating resulting with food in his hair. He eats about 28-32 oz of formula a day.
He takes two naps with bedtime at 7:30 p.m. He wakes up between 6-7 pm. He has 5 teeth and one more that's half done.
He loves bath time and grins and laughs when he hears the water running. Still snuggly. He is in 12 month clothes. Such a big boy.
He's looking down at Kira in this picture.
He clicks his tongue and says syllables. He loves to play "I'm going to get you Isak." And crawls away or to be chased in our arms.
Love this little boy face!
This was the best I could do with him laying down. He's a fast mover.
Kira Daisy! Getting taller!!!
Kira all of the sudden grew up. She holds her bottle now. Isak does too. We made progress with food. She will eat puffs and she puts them in her mouth. She will eat bananas and bread. She loves smoothies and apple blueberry baby food. We tried many cans of baby food and that's the only one she will consistently eat. It takes her 3 days to eat one jar. Such a big improvement from last month. She actually enjoys sitting in her high chair now.
She pulls herself up to the couch to stand. She picks up food with the ring finger, pinky and thumb.
She LOVES books. She'll sit and flip the pages for a long time and she'll sit and listen to us read to her.
She has figured out how to climb in and out of the bouncy seat and swing and is quite proud of herself.
Kira loves to clap.
Kira loves her purple toys and likes to hold onto a toy at all times. She laughs so hard with Nels.
Her cute little backside.
She gets up at 6 am on the dot no matter what. Kira says syllabls and "ssssss" She likes to hug more and cuddle more than before.
She is still our little angel and she loves to smile.
My two little babies are becoming two little toddlers.
We put them in the stroller without their car seats. They LOVE to be outside. They love going for walks and to the park or to just play in our backyard.
I like how Kira's hand is on Isak's shoulder. They are brother and sister. Sometimes I call Kira Sister and Isak Brother.
Love Isak's big old smile/laugh.
Their cute backsides.
I don't know what I did to make them both smile and look at me at the same time! Kira is even clapping she's so excited. haha. Love these babies!
