The twins are on a roll with there milestones. Of course once it start it just seems like one after the other on the milestones.
Most of all the milestones are from Skyler. Gemma doesnt take but a week or so following Skyler. Skyler likes to help me feed her. Grabs my hand and guides the spoon to her mouth. Skyler has a better grip on holding her bottle on her own, Gemma can do it to she just isnt as strong so she cant hold it for long before it slips. All in one week Skyler went from grabbing the railings to the crib to half sitting to full sitting. We have a big girl sitting on her own now! But with Skyler progressing as such she also starting a new habit. Since she thought it was cool to pull herself up on the rails she thinks its cool to use Gemma to push up on too. Sometimes grabbing her by the hair to keep her balance and even worse pushing her head into the mattress where poor Gemma had a smoother me cry. Skyler did this so much that after a few days of constantly pulling Skyler off of Gemma and pushing them as far away from each other as possible, we decided it was time. The girls slept separately for the first time last night!
I felt so sad for them. Gemma not having her snuggle buddy anymore. But in all honestly I think it was me who was more sad! Gemma LOVED it. She was moving all around the crib and trying to pull herself up on the railings and very entertained. Skyler she didnt like it at first. But she ended up realizing all the room she had and soon got to entertaining herself too. Usually about once and sometimes none at all one of the girls wakes up just wanting the covers pulled back on them. Not a peep. They even slept in a little longer and woke up entertaining themselves again.
So there you have it. My girls are growing on me. It will be so weird to see them walking around I just see them as babies!!
