We celebrated 15 months of Emma and Mia in San Diego for Grammy's wedding. Here is what they've been up to:
Learning to WALK! While on vacation, we really had a chance to practice with them. They both took their first significant steps on May 23 - Grammy & Bob's wedding day. I think they wanted to be flower girls! They are easily taking 6-8 steps at a time and are so proud. They hold their heads high and their arms up to show "no hands!" We have a couple toddlers on our hands...the next chapter begins.
Em & M had a great time meeting and playing with new aunts, uncles and cousins at the wedding. They were definitely showing off at the wedding reception - clapping when everyone else did during the toasts. They also became really good a posing and mugging for the camera.
Emma loved the pool once she got used to it. Mia wanted nothing to do with it; she was very fearful and didn't even want to be near it. Looks like we have a fisherwoman and a farmer.
The girls loved watching the ducks at the hotel. There were a few camped out on our lawn each day.
Mia's vacation schedule meant staying up late and sleeping in. Actually, both girls were typically up past their bed time. But they napped fairly well, considering the different environments.
The girls had a great time racing their cars around the hotel suite and Grammy's house. Mia held her chin up high as she ran around with the car.
At the hotel and Grammy's house, the girls practiced climbing stairs. They did a great job and expertly turned around to come back down.
We took many trips to the park because the girls loves playing on the slides, tunnels, see saw and in the sand. We went to San Dieguito park, where I used to play as a kid, although it's much cooler now. We also went to a new playground at the beach, which was fun too.
The girls discovered that climbing on and off the couch at Grammy's is fun. They also loves looking at photo albums of themselves and family; they got so excited! Grammy's dog Katie loved having the girls visit because it meant lots of food scraps.
The girls continue to point at everything and ask "dat?" They are using their sign language skills - "more" is a popular one, and very helpful.
When they're not walking or playing on the playground, their favorite activity is blowing bubbles. Mia can spot a bottle of bubbles from a mile away at the grocery/drug store, and in our house, she can spot them even when they're supposed to be hidden.
Tooth count: 6 for both - 4 top center, 2 bottom center (Emma's are a little further along)
