It’s no longer one or two tentative steps. She’s walking across rooms now, slowly but surely. (Sorry for the shitty video quality — I caught it with my phone.) I was raised mostly in Southern California. Where I lived, there were vast fields of strawberries and thick orange groves that would perfume the whole city during orange blossom season. We would throw open the windows at night to inhale the sweet balm of nascent citrus. The smell was intoxicating. Then it was all bulldozed and [...] Sigh. The last month of infancy. Though they’re not toddling yet, and hence probably can’t be referred to as toddlers, they’re something a little older than babies, right? Some kind of crazy baby limbo. Anyway. Updates. Feeding Still nursing four times a day. They have a big breakfast, while the rest of the sessions get shorter and [...] No video or pics yet, but Althea took many unassisted steps today. She started a couple of days ago, but it was obvious tonight that she’s on to us. Determined, purposeful steps. Cue terror mixed with pride and excitement. Althea’s been on the go for a couple of weeks. She’ll push anything — books, boxes, this walker-push-toy thing. Elise likes to watch because man, why walk when mom can carry you around? Althea’s a character. She really is. If we’re going to generalize, Elise is sweet and subdued. Althea’s a bulldozer. And, I hate to say this, but she’s kind of a bully toward Elise. I hate to say it because I don’t want to say anything negative about my kids. I also hate to say it because I [...] Much to my surprise, the girls turned 10 months old last week. Double digits. Edging uncomfortably close to a year old. I’ll add some boring details, but I can sum it all up by saying that they’re amazing. They laugh, they cry, they chase each other, they give goofy looks. I love wrapping my arms around their [...] The girls had their (late) nine-month appointment on Friday. Elise is at 17lb 1oz and Althea is at 17lb 2oz. (For the first time ever, Althea outweighed her sister!) Elise was twisting around during her measurements and measured about 26 3/8 inches long (pretty sure that’s wrong), while Althea measured 27 inches long. Both had [...] What the…. Hi! We’re now nine months old. 9 months old Eating We nurse usually five times a day — sometimes four, sometimes six or seven. The girls now get two full jars each of baby food a day (so four total — per day), along with about 1/4 cup of cereal each. This means my stash of baby [...] |
