Lots of Firsts

The girls are at an exciting age where we have lots of "firsts" happening.  I feel like I need to be very good about documenting everything because I'm still pretty tired all the time, so the chance of me remembering exact (or even approximate)dates in a month or a year is pretty unlikely.

The girls have both really been enjoying swimming lessons.  Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures because we're both in the water with the girls, but we sing songs, and the girls splash around in the pool.  I was very pleased that Tannah hasn't had any problems whatsoever.  This might be because we get to go in the small pool, which is very well heated:)

Tannah's first tooth (bottom front left) arrived on October 28.  Tooth number two arrived the next day.  She actually handled the teething process very well.  We didn't even notice that anything new was going on until I spotted the tooth in her mouth.  Let's hope that trend continues for future teething times.  I think I might see two teeth getting ready to pop through Harper's gums, but I can't be certain quite yet.



Please excuse the dirty face and bib.  She was in the middle of eating her carrots.

On Friday night, I was in the kitchen and Wei-Yand was playing with the girls, when he called out, "is she crawling"?  I ran into the living room, and while I don't know if we can quite consider it crawling yet, Tannah was scooting herself across the floor by pulling her legs up underneath her body and lunging forward.  In just the past few days, she's getting faster and starting to get up on all fours.  Mobile babies are going to create all sorts of new (but fun!) challenges for us.  We're just waiting for the day that Harper starts crawling and they go in opposite directions.  we put our baby gate up by our stairs a few weeks ago, so we're prepared for the inevitable.

Harper has surpassed Tannah as our "good sleeper".  She has been sleeping through the night 2-3 nights each week, while Tannah is still getting up at least once every night.



Harper is also our "good eater".  She'll eat anything we give her, and it's so adorable to see her open her mouth when she's ready to eat.  Tannah is a little pickier, but loves to feed herself.  The trick is finding food that is soft enough for her to actually bite but that doesn't turn to mush when she grabs it.
