The girls are acclimating very well, and obviously LOVE having more rooms to explore. It was a little hard when all the painting and unpacking was going on (part of our motivation to get it done quickly) because they had to be stuck in 1 room for extended periods of time... but now they both go where they please with confidence.
Anyways, I realized that we haven't posted since before their birthday party (BTW: PLEASE SEND PICS OR CALL IF YOU HAVE SOME AND NEED HELP) and so we have a lot of catching up to do. Below are some milestones, pics, and vids to satiate your need for babiness:
Milestones:
- 01/04/2010 - Mirabel's most recent Neurology appointment revealed that our prayers have been answered: Her head has not grown since the check-in from the month prior! This is amazing because Mirabel's head had been growing at the 99% rate - which was way above the normal curve... and if it kept at that pace, she would've had to go through surgery :-( We're so grateful to God for sparing us that one!
- 01/07/2010 - Morriah shared! Dad & Mom and our friends Garrett & Andrew were sitting around the living room, and MJ picked up her Animal flashcards and proceeded to hand them out to each of us! Sharing = Caring
- Mirabel has been sticking out her tongue and playing with different sounds... She also will do it when asked - and mimics when we initiate.
- Morriah has been babbling a lot more, and most recently started trying to copy sounds right when asked. I said "Morriah, say 'ball' " and then she proceeded to say "ba" "bah?" "baahhhlll" !!
- They are getting more and more cuddly - snuggling up in blankets and hugging to show love <3
