Wow! What a great Valentine's Day! The girls will be 15 months on 2/28/09 and they are absorbing EVERYTHING. Genevieve is walking on her own and Sophie can walk several feet by herself - she will be running around like her sister any day now! They are really babbling now and they really think they are having their own conversations with you.
There are several small milestones that the girls have hit and various adorable things that they've done to truly begin to portray their own personalities. Genevieve loves to hug and kiss everyone she sees...although she means well, she is just a little too "rough" for some of the younger babies in her class at school. She also has gotten in trouble for biting although the teachers really don't think she is doing it on purpose- she is just trying to give kisses too:).
Dad has taught both girls how to show a "touchdown" play so when we yell, "Touchdown!", they both throw their hands in the air. They are both very intrigued with the dogs and kitty as well- they have walked up to CJ and Gizmo both and the animals actually aren't as timid as they used to be....the pets are very interested in the girls too:). Well, I think Sophie and Genevieve have really bonded over the past couple of months and have really started to play together and entertain each other...they will chase each other around the house, laughing and giggling! Everything that one is doing, the other just has to get into the same thing...they love pulling every piece of tupperware out of the cabinet - chewing on them, banging the pieces together and throwing them across the floor. Genevieve has also become quite the "fashionista" - she loves to pull their clothes out of the drawers and she is actually trying to put her socks and shoes on (as much as a 14.5 month old baby can:)).
On Saturday, we had a wonderful Valentine's Day at home with the girls. Because they absolutely love to play and crawl around on our couch, we got them their own Backyardigans couch that folds out into a bed!! What a hit!!! We cannot believe how much they absolutely love having their own piece of furniture- they both love to sit on it together, reading books and chewing on toys while watching cartoons or the Food channel.
