my babies

Chancellor is getting so big! She's 14 1/2 months old. I just tried to see if she wanted to pee on her new little toilet, but it really scared her. She asked to put her diaper back on. And she HATES having her diaper on. She loves watvhing Yo Gabba Gabba, because it and she are just so awesome. She dances all day long! Anytime she hears music, she starts dancing. And she's talking now, too! Here are the words she says well enough for me and Aaron to understand:
dog
mama
papa
grandpa
grandma
grandad
aaron
katie
alek
cat
horse

peek a boo
roll
cheese

Aleksandr is 1 1/2 months old. He's such a good sleeper!!! He's getting big and chubby, and still had a nice round bald head. He sleeps. He eats. Sometimes he's awake for a little while. But mostly he just sleeps and grows. His cardiologist thinks he's okay. He said the nerve that slows the heart down is more mature than the nerve that speeds the heart up, and that this usually corrects itself before his first birthday. He sleeps with me at night, and is getting really good about not eating too much while I'm sleeping. Once I've fallen asleep, he eats twice and needs one diaper change. Other than that, it's peaceful sleeping for us both! He's getting better at smiling and every now and then he'll make eye contact with me. He likes to look at the blinds when thy're closed, nice contrasting stripes.




My babies are growing up so fast! It's really fun watching them learn and grow every day.
