Dear Daughters,
I love you both so much! And I’m not just saying that because you both finally slept through the night last night. Although, I wouldn’t mind if you repeated that tonight. ;) It’s so fun to see you interact with each other and with others. You are very aware of what’s going on around you now. It’s almost impossible to sneak anything by you these days.
You’ve started copying me a little more. I picked up a toy cup and talked into it the other day to make you laugh. Now you both do the same thing and love to hear your voices echo in the cup.
I love seeing you get excited. Sometimes, one of you will see something and start moving towards it. Then, you’ll glance over your shoulder at your sister and check to make sure that she’s going to come and check it out, too. It’s my favorite.
You both love to wave at people to say ‘hi’ and ‘bye.’ I can’t get enough of your little fingers. You also are starting to get upset when people say “bye” and they leave. It breaks my heart when Dad goes to work and you both start crying.
E,
You are walking, walking, walking. Even though your steps are still ‘baby steps,’ you can make it across the whole room with no problem. You have even perfected the pivot.
Your dad is already teaching you how to share. He’ll sometimes pretend to drink from your bottle or eat your other foods to be silly. Now you willingly share them with both of us and love to see us ‘eat.’
L,
You are kind of obsessed with a few of your toys. You always have to have something in your hands. You still love the ‘fish’ toys. Now, you also hold tightly to your toy wrench and your rattle. You bring them to bed with you and won’t even let go to hold your bottle. I think we’ve got a multi-tasker in the making.
You love to point with your finger. It’s the cutest thing ever. You are walking more and more each day. You prefer to crawl most of the time since you’re so fast. Your other trademark move is to put your head down on the floor and look through your legs. It makes me laugh every single time.
Girls, I love being your mom so much!!
Love,
Me
