On the move and not looking back!
What's happened! I missed a week! Well, these girls have started on the move. Tina's crawling, but that's not the beginning of our concern. They are cruising with the confidence of "Chariots of Fire" and, with their new push walker (seen with Ava above), they are literally running down the halls.
They love their new-found independence. They look at each other, running circles around the coffee table, chasing each other around the superyard, giggling and laughing so hard they nearly bring themselves to their knees. It's really very cute.
Time for the outlet covers and more extentions for their superyards. The timing of the bi-annual Twins Club fundraising sale is perfect. We need to convert from gyminis to toddler toys. Amazing - I can't believe that they will soon no longer be infants, but toddlers!
While Tina has found comfort in her mobility, Ava, while enjoying it, has been more dependent. Separation anxiety has transferred from Tina to Ava.
They are also intent on talking. When Tina gets going, she gets very animated and punctuates her multi-syllable sentences by throwing her arm in the air and pointing. During these times, we call her "Little Hitler." There are a few words that they - mostly Tina - are saying: "dog" was one of the first ones, "Mama" in context (Ava's strong on that one), "Yeah," and "Bye/Hi" which they use interchangeably.
