November News

Well it seems that Henry has caught up with Emma in the sprouting teeth department. Henry cut his first tooth on Tuesday, November 10th much to Mom and Dad's surprise! Poor little guy-he has been working on that one tooth for months now! So we are really having fun with the whole teething thing. Emma has cut her second tooth now. We've tried to get pictures of the famous first tooth, but she likes to hide it! The one thing she has discovered is that she can make all kinds of new sounds and we think she's trying to say more, but we still haven't figured out what! Henry is also trying to make new sounds too. He likes to copy Mom and Dad. And I think he's trying to ask for kisses now too. The other "new" thing for him to do is blow rasberries. Well it's not exactly a new thing-he did it before, but now he does it with food in his mouth!Fun, fun, fun for Mom-not! It's been frustrating trying to be patient and remember that he doesn't know any better. So depending on the damage we (Henry and Mommy) go through a couple of outfits everyday. I've started to drape myself with a towell when I feed them! They both get a kick out of seeing Mommy in a "bib". The other new development is that Emma is now crawling!She's getting better and better at it everyday. She's starting to figure out that she can go places faster when she crawls instead of rolling or scooting. Henry is getting close, but still hasn't managed to move forward yet. He's still trying to get the hang of sitting himself up on his own. Both of them can crawl backwards and can move pretty fast doing it that way believe it or not. So it's off to Walmart to get childproofing materials.I've already moved almost everything that we can think of out of their reach, but I'm sure we'll discover that we missed something! On another note-we are having the kids evaluated for a program provided by the county for child development. It focuses on speech, social interaction, certain behaviors, etc. Sometimes twins tend to have issues with speech-so we're trying to get a head start if they do discover that either of the kids needs help. We'll let you know what we find out. More pictures are on the way too.
