Giggles :)

We have now been able to experience the first giggles for both of the girls now. Kevin heard Annellice giggle while I was away the other week. She was in a good mood and giggled while rolling up like a rolly-polly. Alexandra shared her first giggle on Monday morning in the darkness of the day. While laying on the changing table she started giggling after I popped up from reaching to get a new diaper. She was so surprised she layed mute for the next 5-10minutes wondering what the heck that was that came out of her mouth.

The girls are doing well over all. They appear to still be growing and we have been slowly rotating out some of the "spark-plug" like clothing that is nice and round but way to short in the legs for our little giraffes. It's kind of sad to see things go to the been-there-done-that bin; it feels like they hardly got a chance to wear some of them. Yes - I have been told that will be a running theme for the next 18 years but none the less it is a little sad.

Alexandra is continuing to expand her vocabular of non-sensical noises. She often will just set jabbering for what seems hours and when you check on her she goes quiet and just smiles and is just as happy to go back to jabbering when you are no longer looking. Annellice is starting to help herself sit-up after having a bottle. She doesn't know how to actually do it yet, but you can see her tense her abdominals to roll forward because she knows that burping is the next step after eating. Now if only I could get the two of them to enjoy tummy time more! They both get the concept fo the legs going for crawling but it is the upper body that is suffering a bit. If we position their hands under their shoulders or chest it is only a matter of moments before they find their hands to suck on instead. Hopefully, we will have made some progress by the time we go to the developmental clinic on the 24th.
