I'm back- sort of

The girls are feeling better although Leeza is still on antibiotics for an ear infection. Sasha still has a cough, but not nearly as bad as it was. Both still have some diarrhea(probably too much info!) so I will be glad when they are better. I am still sick, but the girls think it is fun to bounce on Mama when she is laying down so I don't try to do that too much.

We all need haircuts! I knew they needed one, but their hair is really long in these pictures! Leeza hair is filling in and not nearly as thin as it was a few months ago. Sasha's hair is very thick now and can be very curly.

I put most of the 18 month stuff away, but left some out to try to get some use out of it. As you can tell, she no longer fits into the 18 months and they tend to be a little tight and short. I am going to put the rest of it away soon.

Last Sunday was 3 months home for the girls! We didn't do anything to celebrate. Everyone was sick so it was spent wiping noses and changing pull ups. They have not gained much weight this month and seem to have gotten past the first catchup growth spurt. I'm not sure if they gotten any taller, but they seem to have caught up to where they should be and are going to grow more slowly now.

The latest update:

Their speech therapist want me to start working on the function of objects. They can name a lot of items now, but when she asks what they do, they can't say. For example, they can say fork, but don't say, eat with it. I guess this means they are starting to move on to the next stage of language.

They can say almost all body parts-nose, ears, eyes, mouth, arms, legs, fingers, toes, tummy...

They learned how to walk backwards and now do it and expect me to catch them if they fall.

Leeza is playing longer at different things. She still has a rather short attention span, but it is much longer than it was. She is building towers with her blocks rather than just stacking a few similar ones up.

Even though they have only been home 3 months, we had our 6 month SW visit Saturday. I have to get her report back and the rest of the girls info together and have it sent off by the time they are home 6 months. I didn't even clean the house for her visit. I was too tired from being sick. She didn't seem to mind.

The girls sat with me and watched part of a movie. Normally they play and ignore the TV. I think it is just because they are still tired from being sick, but it was nice to have some quiet time with them.
