The girls are sure getting more active and verbal! Maggie is now cruising and will practic standing on her own. Her record is 9 seconds. Mary finally figured out she was behind and is now trying to pull her self up on things, but hasn't stood up on her own. Mary is however, saying a lot more...mama, baba, lala, vava, dada...and what sounds like "hi daddy." Maggie says some things, but mostly lots of high pitched sounds and complete babble. They just seem to love each other more and more each day. You can see what I mean with the video below. Of course, this doesn't mean that have stopped biting each other!

We had a nice trip down South. Besides the girls getting over a very snotty cold, everything went well. Thanks Nana and Papa!!!

11.8.10 - Mary pulled herself up for the first time. Yay Mary!!!
11.27.10 - Maggie started saying ba ba and ma ma consecutively instead of random "ma" and "ba" within her babble. She is now doing it when she falls asleep...quite the sleep talker.

Mary likes to eat odd things lately. While changing her I found a 3 inch peice of carpet in her "diaper" that she somehow ate even though we vigilantly watch them. She was also eating a woody leaf on our walk the same day that must have fallen on her. And if that wasn't enough she is really working at removing most of the paint from the high end of her crib when she won't go down for a nap....lovely.
