7 Months Old

Today the babies are seven months old. They are doing so well. They are both reaching for everything! Kyle said his first "word" last week. His first word was "Ni-Ni" for night night. Then in just one week he has added "DaDa, BaBa and MaMa". Mallory said her first "words" last night. She said "DaDa" and then seconds later she said "MaMa". Today she said "Ni-Ni". Kyle can sit up unassisted for a few minutes. Mallory tries but it hurts her back, she still has some weak muscle tone. Mallory can roll front to back and back to front when she wants to. She mostly just rolls side to side. Kyle has rolled both ways also but he chooses not to roll at all right now. He would rather stand. Kyle is very good at holding his own bottle, I just have to help him when it gets to the end. Mallory trys very hard, but again her weak muscle tone makes it difficult for her. She can hold her own bottle for a few seconds. They both love to be in water, bath or pool. They are growing so fast.

Matthew's first week of school

Matthew has finished his first week of school. This was a hard week. The first day, he clung to my leg and cried. They said he cried for a while. When he stopped crying, he still didn't play with any of the kids but he did okay. On the second day it wasn't any easier. The third day, however was a little easier. He let Ms. Rose hold him and comfort him. They said after that he was fine and played a little bit with the other kids. The forth day, again a little easier. He went swimming. Ms. Rose said that he just kept jumping in the water. He was so excited, they couldn't keep him out of the water. The Fifth day, was much better. When I dropped him off, he was whining but went right to his teacher. When I picked him up, he seemed very comfortable there. He walked around saying goodbye to all his teachers. His teacher told me that he played all day with the kids and in gym he played with the parachute and had a lot of fun. I'm so happy he's adjusting well. Let's see how it goes on Monday!
