Miss Frankenstein & Miss I-Don't-Want-Stuff-Animals-In-My-Bed
The girls have exuded different behaviors, both purposefully and unpurposefully. It's always a joy to observe the habits of the twins and just wonder where in the heck they learned it from. They're so different in their personailities and what they do. It's not like they watch that much television and it's not like they are exposed to a whole lot of people to the point where they are picking up funny habits.
Natalie is really picking up her walking as of late. Although she is behind the "normal" child for her age (about 4-5 months) in her development, it's still a joy to see her hit her milestones. She's probably walking 75% of the time (as oppose to crawling). The funny thing about her walking is the expression of her face and what she does with her arms. She looks like Frankenstein. Her arms stretched out in front of her and she lifts her shoulders up so she looks like she has no neck. Then her facial expression can look hilarious. She has her crooked opened mouth smile. Fiona and I just love to imitate her. She's definitely a much happier baby now that she has found this new mode of transportation.
Vanessa has two stuffed animals in her bed, a blue bear and a white bunny dressed in a light green outfit. Both are very plush. We wanted the girls to have a stuffed animal that they can befriend (just like Jadon and Doggie). Well every nap and sleep, Vanessa always throws her animals out of bed (just like Jadon did with Doggie). We thought by now that she would have grown an attachment to either one of the stuffed animals but it doesn't look like it's meant to be. We have lectured her on throwing things out of her bed, but we've abandoned that method. Last night I decided to put her stuffed animals into each of the corners of her crib. I wedged them in between her mattress and her crib so it would be difficult to catapult them to the floor. When I put her to sleep, she tried to throw them out but she was unsuccessful. Then she started to cry. So I took them out and left her to go to sleep. She stopped crying a minute later. I didn't check but I'm sure she probably happily threw them out.
