Cat got your tail...

ok so,

Its just so incredible how much the girls are progressing lately. Lily is standing BY HERSELF. She has even taken a few steps by herself. She has also started dropping objects inside bins. That was a skill that the preemie doctors said would be a milestone. She can also say "duck" when you hold up her bathtub rubber ducky. I can't believe that Lily is finally doing things before her sister.


Bella has been clapping, waving, pulling herself up and shaking her head "no" for a month or so now (although she shakes her head at random times). Augie says the girls understand "no" quite well because when you say "no" as they are about to grab the cat's tail or something, they will pause, look at you, smile and then proceed in pulling the cat's tail. With that, they are ready for adolesense.
Both the girls have been drinking real milk instead of formula and eating table food exclusively now for a month and both girls are almost completely bottle-free. We've had to increase our supply of sippy cups. Very soon, we will eliminate the evening bottle altogether. Both girls sleep rather well through the nights since we started to enforce "sleep hygiene" (strict 7pm bedtime and no picking up crying babies in the night) about a month or two back.
Last Friday was snow day at their preschool. They blew machine-made snow onto the playground and apparently, Bella and Lily were the only kids from the infant room that loved the snow and didn't want to leave. I wish I could have seen them play in their first experience with snow! Here are some snow day pictures taken by their teacher Miss Shannon.
