What are your babies doing today

DD is holding up her sippy cup and actually getting water from it (before she was just using it as a toy!).
DS is crawling across the floor to get to mommy (of course I have to be holding food to get him to come to me!)

What's new and exciting with your babies?

 

Mine are pulling up on the dining room table, they actually try to lift their feet off the ground. I guess they think they're going to pull themselves all the way up onto the table? Goofs. They have to reach way up even to reach the top of the table.

 

Mine are older and I still like to play so: Tyler says "butterfly" and points to it and Derek told our dog to "drop (lay down)" and she did so he then said, "good girl." :wub:

 

Mine are older too, but since Rachel is playing so will I! Meara now sings the brush your teeth song when I hand her the toothbrush ("bruuu bruuu bruuushhhhhhhhhhhh!") and Ana now tells me when she is stinky ("Ssst" and grabs her diaper).

 

My guys found their feet. They grab them and try to stick them in their mouth.

 

Mine are laughing and rolling onto their side!

 

Luke is trying to figure out how to crawl and Sophia is *this* close to crawling, she can propel herself forward using one leg and just has to figure out how to get the other leg in action as well.

 

Baby B finally figured out how to get his front end up at the same time as his back end (he was doing a silly thing I called the nose skid frog hop before). He doesn't actually make as much forward progress as before, but I spend much less time applying creams to the strawberries on his nose, cheeks, and chin.

And they both learned how to jump in the jumperoo last week (although to be fair their feet haven't hit the floor until pretty recently.) Baby B squeels (the ear piercing shrieking kind), sticks out his tongue and giggles pretty much everytime he gets to jumping. Baby A is a little more restrained in his exuberance. He limits himself to giant smiles and < 85 decibel giggles.

 

J shakes her head no when she doesn't want any more food.

A is *really* close to holding her own bottle!

 

Nikola is shaking his head. They both hold their sippy cups like they are drinking out of real cups .

 

Taking their diapers off every chance they get.

 

Jake learned to clap this week and Ryan can say his "m" sound! Ryan also learned how to pull up in his crib (Jake learned last week).

 

Mark found himself in the mirror. He still doesn't know it's him, but he loves to watch himself, and when he frowns he gets angry and starts crying. Then when he sees the crying face, he gets angrier and cries some more.

Eli rolled over about 8 days ago, and he holds his head straight up while laying on his tummy.

 

mine are starting to hold thier bottles for a couple seconds at a time! I cant wait till they can hold them the whole time. Also they are starting to scoot forward.

 

We're sitting up for a few minutes at a time...even outside with our big brother running around us like crazy!!! (We're reading the newspaper, too..haha ;-)

Aiden and Will sitting
Just checking out the news reading

We're having so much fun (when we're not drooling and teething)!!!

Oh, and we're cheering on Mom's favorite college football team, too! (Dad's out of town watching his game, so we have to be sweet and wear Mom's colors. ;-)

 

mine are sitting on their own for longer than a minute!
Sydney is holding her bottle & drank the whole thing without me touching it once!
Sydney is also pulling her top half off the ground by grabbing the shelf on the coffee table or the activity table
YAY babies!

 

Ella goes to her highchair and does sign language for "eat"!! Griffin says "puzz-uu-zzzz" for puzzle!!! Oh, and today Ella said "my drinky" when she wanted her sippy!

 

Stefan is finding his feet now and is really interested in playing with toys now. Stefan also is talking a lot more than he use to and takes out his paci and can put it back in once in a while...

Molly is finding her thumb a lot...even when she sleeps, which is new for her and is holding her bottle. She is also laughing out loud now. She laughs when tickled too...

They are getting so big and so much fun!

BTW... They both love to watch Play with me Sesame. Stefan likes Grover, makes him laugh and Molly likes it when they sing! (Price you pay for having older children... LOL)

 

Mitchell just learned to roll from back to his front and is jumping like crazy in his jolly jumper. Colin has found his voice and likes to screech (oh joy)

 

Sydney is finally tolerating her tummy more and is actually trying to get up in the crawling position but keeps scooting backwards. Karlie says "Hi" and waves, says "Uh oh" and claps her hands. They are both starting to actually drink out of the sippy cup instead of just playing with them. They have been doing so much stuff in the last month. I love them sooo much!!!

 

Daniel now goes down the 2 steps into our family room face first! I kept trying to turn him around to teach him to go down feet first but he's figured out how to make it work face first!

Ben (my very delayed little boy) is now rolling! He just rolls and rolls and loves it! It is so great to see him moving.

 

when ivana claps she doesn't look like she's swatting flies anymore! lol
