Daycare one week later

One week later we were at the doctor. Poor babies have to get that immune system strong.

If I had just one snap shot to sum up the girls....

First day of daycare

Well the girls started daycare today. We have been so grateful that Chris's cousin has been able to watch them the last five months, but it was time to get out and meet new friends (and germs for that immune system). 

So off we went this morning.  Hey of course just sat down and began playing. No big deal. 

I kept myself together. I know they are fine and it was time.  I'm more sad they are so grown up than the fact they are at daycare.  

Why can't they be babies forever? Or at least a little while longer? 

Ten Months!

Oh my sweet babes. Why are you growing so fast?

This is the best I can get. Yes, she ate the sticker. 

Sweet Baby L

Weight/Length: I know we have gained weight in the last month, but her face is starting to slim down as she starts to crawl more and more.

Hair and Eyes: So, so blonde! And thin. I don't have to dry it. It just kinda poofs out. :) Eyes are blue! 

Diapers: We made the jump to size 3. Sometimes I think they are big, but they work. I feel like we will be in these a while 

Clothing: Wears 9 month pjs and 9 month clothes. If there is any elastic around the legs of clothes they are just about too tight. May have to move to 12 month soon. And then I may just die. 

Favorite Things: She likes the bouncer, but likes to be on the outside of it now. She likes her Sophie book. And the shape sorter. And a plastic hanger is a real winner.  

Likes: Loves bath time. When you lay her on her back, she flips out kicking and squealing! Still loves to sleep.   

Dislikes: Not much she doesn't like. She is so easy going. 

Eating: Eats 6 oz bottles with no oatmeal! Eating at  8 am, 12p, 4p, and 7:30ish. And just a week or so ago, the switch flipped and they love food! Chicken, tomatoes, cheese...still loves apples sauce and bananas. 

Sleeping: She still sleeps great. But she doesn't go down quite as easy now. She likes to hop around in the bed a bit before settling in for the evening. 

Milestones: Crawling really well. She can stand briefly. Loves eating. And we start daycare at 10 1/2 months. 

Eloise:

Weight/Length:  I'd guess 16-17 pounds now. Still thin. But eats everything!

Hair and Eyes: Her hair is getting so long! And it is blonde, but not white like sissy's! I have to dry her hair at night so maybe sh won't wake up with it all crazy! Eyes are beautiful blue! 

Diapers: Size 3.

Clothing: 9 month pjs and clothes. 

Favorite Things:  Crawling FAST to the dog food! Ha! Likes to stand, but likes to be held so she can be up high and see everything. Loves the shape sorter. 

Likes: Loves smiling and laughing. Plays with all sorts of toys. Very curious (aka nosey)

Dislikes: Being put down or feeling like no one is paying attention to her. 

Eating: 6 oz every feeding with no oatmeal! We get calories from food now! And no more spit up! Woo Hoo!!!  

Sleeping: She goes to her bed around 7:15, but actually goes to sleep 8-8:30... They are both really good at sleeping through the night now, with just minor crying out. Just need some settling to go back to sleep. 

Milestones: She is crawling everywhere and fast! She has 6 teeth! (L has none) She can stand with no help for a minute at a time. Is SO full of life!! 

Mom's thoughts: We are starting daycare tomorrow and I am so nervous. I called the daycare 3 times last week. The poor same lady answered the phone every time. I told her I was going to be her worst nightmare or we would be best friends by the end of all this. Haha! 

I am also already planning their first birthday and it is a struggle to not have a melt down every.single.time. I think about it. How did they grow so fast????
