Thank you & a Baby Update

First, I wanted to say thank you again and again. Thanks for the donations, necklace purchases, prayers, and kind words. We are amazed with the amount of support that has been given. As Emaleigh's surgery approaches, please continue to keep her in your prayers. She has the best spirit and is such a joy to be around. I hope that someday soon you will "all" get a chance to meet her!

The new thing for Emaleigh is babbling. She'll talk and talk and talk. Mostly saying Ba Ba over and over, then SCREAM, then back to babbling. It's ok if you don't have a headache. What I'm doing is showing her the bottle when she says Ba Ba.

Tiffany let us know that Emaleigh is now sitting up from a lying down position. The work with her paid off! Basically I've been showing her how to pull her smaller leg under her (her big leg isn't very flexible) for a few days, so it looks like she's got it!

She is also doing terrific moving through the house, not really crawling but pushing and scooting. Last night Michael went toward the spare bedroom and Emaleigh toward the kitchen over and over again. So, they are mobile but not too fast yet, I'll be in trouble soon!

She is also now into size 3 diapers :)

I'm still waiting to hear back from Boston about Surgery details.

My little M

He is starting to move both legs and his arms so he's crawling but not crawling. He crawls sometimes but maybe it's faster to move both legs then both arms? He'll get there :)

We've been working with Michael, to get him to pull up. I'll sit him facing the ottoman and sit his hands on it. He has the motion and is pulling up! We did let him drop down carefully and now he has learned that he has to hold on. (The crib rails have been covered)

We haven't seen any more teeth yet. We checked out the manufacture labels on the old car seats and it looks like the babies cannot be over 29 inches or 22lbs. So I'll have to do another measurement soon. Michael is very close.
