10 Months and crawling....

It is so hard to believe the girls are already 10 months old. They are keeping us very busy now that both are crawling and pulling themselves up to stand! Maia has figured out how to get herself down from standing on one knee and Callia still needs assistance. They follow each other around the room now very interested in what the other is doing.

Well, I know most parents talk about how brilliant their kids are but Callia and Maia really are! :) Callie is still babbling but more focused on her new found physical skills. She can now clap her hands and raise her hands up when you say "Touchdown!" It's adorable the way she and Maia will do it at the same time. Callia has become more assertive with the toys she has and has started taking them back from Maia. She still enjoys seeing people and reading lots of books.

Maia has started using sign language and vocal sounds to communicate with us. When I ask if she would like more of something she either makes a happy little coo or does the sign for "more" (putting the tips of her fingers together). She also does things like put her foot out for me to put a sock on it or hold her hand out when she sees the nail clipper. Maia has this new fake cry that is so funny...very hard to describe but one night she did it at dinner and Jason and I laughed at her. She looked at us and actually started to really cry complete with "the lip" (for anyone who has ever seen her do that). The girls entertain us daily and we are so thankful to have them!
