Dear babies,

Ok guys! It’s been a big couple days.

Elizabeth you have been sicker than sick. Stupid common cold has turned into an upper respiratory infection. We’ve been to the doctor twice, the ER once, hardly had any sleep between the two of us… and yet it’s still been a big day because YOU STARTED BELLY CRAWLING!!!! We have been waiting for you to find the motivation to get moving! We’ve been going to PT, we have been working on things at home, and you just didn’t really care to do it. I think you discovered that you can GET TO mom instead of just yelling for her, and that’s what did it. You’ve crawled to me a couple times now, and we celebrate and bounce!!!

Katherine, you have earned your name as thief a few times in the past few days but in the best way possible! You’re still stealing pacifiers, and now food right off Elizabeth’s tray, but I love the little thieving because it shows me how much you’re learning! Today, you guys had eaten breakfast and were playing on the floor so I made my own breakfast. Eggs and cheese and ham. I even burned it a little. So I brought it over to the living room to watch you guys while I ate. You crawled over to the chair and reached up showing me you wanted up. Then, you sat in my lap and asked for my food. So we shared my half burnt omelet. Funny thing is… you don’t like eggs! But you sure liked MY eggs! It was so cute. I put the bowl on the side table and you leaned over me to check the bowl. When you saw it was gone, you quickly dipped your tiny hand into the chips ahoy bag and snuck one out before I could even process what was happening. You sneaky smart little baby!

We have also had a visitor here- Aunty Maddie’s dog. Dragon is pretty cautious around you guys but he’s warming up to you. He sat next to Elizabeth on the floor, he’s watched you guys play in jail, he’s come over to make sure crying babies are ok, and he’s enjoyed playing with Kat and eating your food you keep teasing him with. It’s been a lot of fun giggles!

Love (being your) Mom! ❤️❤️❤️
