This is Emmeline's little buddy, Keegan. He comes over to play with us 4 days a week. They are learning so much from one another! We have a double stroller now, so we try to go for walks when it is nice out. We've had some really beautiful, sunny February days. We walk through the neighborhood and go to the dog park. They love looking at the trees, listening to the birds, talking to other people who walk by and taking trips to the local UPS store and grocery store (a mile up the road). People love babies!...try explaining to people "they were born on the same day, but they aren't both mine"...let's just say I get some interesting looks until I explain the situation further. ha!
They are really starting to interact (both physically and verbally). They can sit up fairly independently now and enjoy reaching and grasping (and trying to eat) all of our cool toys (I've been finding some great deals at the local consignment shop. Our latest find is a colorful interactive xylophone. I give them daily music lessons! ha ha). They smile and babble at one another, try to eat each other's toes and heads (Emmeline often has a matted wet spot on her head each day--ha!), pull each other's ears and fishhook each other's mouthes and steal toys away from one another. The pediatrician said that they will have such a strong bond, almost like a sibling relationship. Funny--I just found out that Matt and Marcy met when they were young too (like Aaron and I did). We always joke about arranging a marriage! You never know...! As of right now, they are learning, playing and growing together!
I turned the loft into a little play area. Now I just need to add a gate at the top of the stairs and plug the outlets and this will be the perfect area for them to explore once they begin crawling. Let the fun begin! :)
