18 Months!

 18 months, whew!  The girls have been working hard growing and building their fine motor skills.  We still don't have a lot of language, but boy do they understand a lot!

They still love their hats and playing dress up, not to mention pulling every thing out during room time

and they are doing better at loving each other too...so nice compared to the hitting, especially for Rylee (who is in the pink shirt)

And as usual, the motor skills are quite advanced...oh, and see those pink boots on Sawyer?  Those are her favorites and we don't go anywhere without them and usually a hat too!

Sawyer loved Cassidy's new rain boots and was determined to wear them, even if she couldn't bend at the knee

Dinner entertainment is a given...here they are pretending "nigh-nigh", I just thought it was amazing they usually go to the same side

Cassidy loves being the fashion coordinator for the twins and I thought Rylee's outfit was especially good this day!  Oh, and Cass may have told me to take a picture :)

We finally bit the bullet and switched the girls into their forward facing car seats.  That means that we can no longer contain them during "quick stops" which means there is no such thing as a quick stop any more!  But I do have to say, I love that view into the back seat!

Another loving moment (and Cassidy's fashion sense for a tea party we were invited to)

My Girls!  I love this picture because it truly captures the difference between the two.  Right now, Sawyer (in purple) is my more introverted, thoughtful, observer (unless there is a physical challenge).  Rylee definitely is my extrovert, loves being the center of attention and making sure she is.  She is also much more "opinionated" about how and when she is going to do things and tends to be more physical when she is upset, definitely a "bring it on" attitude. 

Finally, their stats

Rylee weight 27 lbs. (80th%) and height is 33" (80th%)

Sawyer weight 25.8lbs. (70th%) and height is 32.5" (75th%)

 

We are doing great!  Now we are supposed to work more on our language.  I asked the doctor if he could "slow down" their motor skills and he just laughed...it was worth asking!
