Kenna and Taryn have been so sweet this week. Lots of smiles and a few sweet giggles too. Nap times have worked out nicely, for the most part and I've been able to have some time in the afternoon to do some laundry or sewing or cleaning. A few times this week the girls have woken up at their usual 3 or 4am and we've been able to flip them onto their tummies and get them to go back to sleep until a more reasonable hour which has felt like a huge breakthrough. Of course, that wasn't the case last night, but it has happened a few times this week and we call that progress around here.
The girls are getting much better this week at reaching out and grabbing things with their hands. It seems like such a big step. Transitioning from being little teensies who can't really express what they want and can't move around much to get where they want, to babes who are rolling from their tummies to their backs and swinging their legs around to roll onto their sides so they can face each other and reach for each other. We've had several sweet moments this week where we put them on their little play mat or on our bed and leave the room for a minute and when we come back in they've rolled onto their sides and are chatting to each other and grabbing at each other's hands. It's so sweet to see how they adore each other. They've started scootching around a little in their crib and often end up all the way across the crib from where they began. Our days of sharing a crib might be numbered. Also this week some of their 3-6 month clothes are starting to get a bit snug. What?! Too much, too soon! It's funny how that happens. I see my babies every day and it's easy to miss the little changes. Then once in a while I look at them and see how much they've grown and all the new things they're doing and it seems like a huge leap in growth and development happened over night!
Here are our little ladies. Taryn and Kenna at 19 weeks old.
