Things have been a bit busy in our world but that has not stopped Maggie and Claire from growing and learning knew things. Maggie will be 9 months old on the 28. I cannot believe it. She really hates being on her belly but in order for her to start being mobile this is just something we have to do. Up until now I have not encourged the crawling or the walking. Claire started crawling at 6 months and started walking at 9 months so we missed out on the sit in the floor and play with toys phase. Maggie is now getting really bored with this so crawling here we come. The times that she is on her belly she scoots herself backwards. Her pudgy little tummy and legs hinder her from moving forward but we are doing baby excersises so she will be crawling in no time. I also realized how much maggie is costing us in baby food so we have introduced solids. I could make one jar of baby food last like three days with Claire but Maggie could eat two jars three times a day and that really adds up! We are waiting on the 2nd tooth to pop through. There have been some tough days but she seems to be doing better with this one than with the first one. She has also started saying words. Baby, dada, bye-bye, mama. These are four she can say really well. This morning I asked her where's dada and she looked over at Rodney and smiled. That made up for last night when I handed her to Rodney and she started crying. Alright Maggs, two more months and we have to call it... :)
My Claire-bear is getting so big. She is coming up on four now. She knows her letters and numbers and has started writting. It has been really neat teaching her all of these things. She catches on really fast. Claire loves to play with Maggie and I realize when Claire is not around how much she helps me take care of her.
I thank God that He gave you girls to Rodney and I. We love you!
