As you may have noticed, we've been going to the park a lot lately. Last weekend, Sarah needed some time to study, so I took the twins to the park. Same thing this weekend. These pictures are from Saturday, the 16th. My mom, Sharon, met us and helped me watch the girls while they played. They have met many new "friends" at the park, and we've now been four times and seen some other children more than once. Besides having fun playing, you can tell they had fun eating their sandwiches.

This weekend
Sarah got the tricycles out and the girls had fun playing around the house.
Also, I know I've said this over and over, but it is amazing how quickly the twins are picking up new words. Today they said Ernie (from Sesamie Street), allowed as in "whining is not allowed," and at least one or two other words we've never heard them say before. It seems like every couple days, they're saying new words. Awesome!

Snow Day!
Last night, the twins had a BLAST coloring on the walls of their bath tub. Sarah helped.
Today was great fun! We had snow, and quite a bit in the morning. It stuck on the ground for least half the day, and I think there are still a few small patches. The twins enjoyed watching it from the front windows.
Change of subjects, I was quite happily surprised today at how well Emily is saying the word "Hello."
Enjoy the pictures.

More Communications
Two days ago, I saw Ella give me a new sign. When she wants us to give her something, she points to her hand. So she holds one hand open, palm up, then takes her other index finger and taps her palm. She did it to me when she wanted my Nintendo DS and then later when she wanted our water markers.
Also, Emily started shaking her head when she means No. Previously, she only turned her head to the side. Now she does a combination of the two.
We're still progressing with getting them to sleep in their own beds. The night before last, they went down about 9:30 pm and Emily woke up at 4:00 am. Ella didn't wake up until after 6:00. They both went back to sleep, at least until about 6:45 am. Then last night, they went to sleep around 8:30 pm. Again, Emily woke up first, but not until 6:15 am and Ella didn't wake up until about 6:35 am. It's been working out very well!

Another First - Big Girl Cups
Last night at dinner, we gave the twins milk from a small (non-sippy) cup. We let them drink it using their own hands. That is a first - we've given them drinks from cups, but we always held it ourselves. It was probably more of a thrill for us than the girls. For the most part, they drank it fine. Ella spilled some towards the end on her shirt and in her lap.
A couple other quick updates:
The girls slept 10 hours straight last night, from 8:30 - 6:50.
They are saying words a lot more now, like "up" when they want to be picked up, and "more" when they want more to eat, and I think the newest is "help" when they want something. Also, I've heard Emily say Abby (one of our dog's names). They're saying so much now, it's sometimes hard to keep track.
