14 Months

At the beginning of the month these guys turned their adjusted age of 1 year, but I don’t think that being early birds has had too much of an affect on their milestones. Yes, they’ve been a bit delayed, compared to Ave (who was walking at 9 months old), but not terribly behind compared to the averages of singletons.

Henry

*Weighing in at 29lbs and measuring 31”
*He’s been cutting his one year molars and it’s been miserable…but he’s got 9.5 teeth now!
*Preferred mode of transportation is walking…crawling, I think, takes too much work {in Henry’s opinion}
*Still not sleeping through the night, but I think that has a lot to do with his teeth
*Wearing 24 month/2T clothes with no problem…although they are a bit long on him.
*Only wants to eat carbs….breads, pasta, potatoes….doesn’t want his veggies and barely eats meat, he will eat fruit and avocados.

James

*Weighing in at 27lbs and measuring 33”
*The biggest eater and still only has 6 teeth
*Crawls incredibly fast, which is why I think he hasn’t been walking primarily. He did start today with a bit more walking.
*I think he would be my best sleeper EVER. I very rarely have to get up at night because James started crying. I honestly can’t remember that last time.
*Wearing 24 months/2T…he needs the extra in the length, but they’re a bit baggy around the waist still.
*Says Da-Du….for Thank You
*Kind of signs “all done” and “more”
*Loves his meats, veggies, and fruits, couldn’t careless about breads/pastas.
*His is my crazy monkey boy: He’s climbing all over the couch, trying to climb on the piano. Pulls boxes over to things to stand on so he can reach higher.

Elanor

*Weighing in at 22lbs and measuring 31” long
*Has 7 teeth through
*Took 3 steps for Daddy, but I barely can get her to stand up without holding on to something, but she will take steps if you hold her hands.
*I can say that she is actually fitting into 18 month clothes now, they’re baggy in the waist, but they do fit.
*Babbling constantly, but says something that sounds like “thank you”
*Very covertly tucks her food alongside her in her high chair, so that she doesn’t have to eat it…or she drops it off the side hoping no one notices.
*Folds her hands when we say grace.
*Barely eats any foods, but she will pick at breads and eggs, as well as bananas and avocados, but other than that, not interested.
*She’s my water baby….just as much as Ave, if not more. She LOVES being in the water.

These kids are crazy, but we love’em!

This seems to have been an Elanor month for pictures :-)
