The latest from the developmentalist

Well, the girls have graduated to monthly visits from Melanie, their developmentalist, instead of every two weeks. She feels the girls are doing really well. She doesn't want to totally stop visits just in case. The next few months is a time when things might start to pop up with speech and walking. The only thing we've noticed is that Mady only says dada and not mama. Emma really doesn't say it much either, but we have a least heard it a few times. Emma's new thing is "la" she just repeats and repeats it. I find that really interesting because I think the "l's" are usually pretty hard for kids.

She wants them to work on their pulling up to standing. The day after she came to visit, Emma started pulling up on her own. Mady is really close. Boy, can they crawl FAST!

And... we're all sick again. I missed work yesterday with a fever, swollen glands, sore throat, chills, the whole package. The girls are stuffed up with runny noses. I guess this is par for the course for the first year or so of day care. It is not fun! I'm running out of days to take off from work!

Sounds like they are making progress, that is wonderful! Hope you feel better soon and the girls don't come down with it.
