11 months, the best I can do!

I am WAY late on this post and it was extremely challenging to get a picture of both girls looking at the camera, much less smiling at the same time.

Both girls have been very sick with some bug that they caught who knows where. We've spent the last two weeks changing sheets two and three times a night, giving multiple baths throughout the day and trying to shove pedialyte down their throats. Guess I'm going to have to get used to it taking a full month for everyone to get well when the girls catch something. One has it one week, the other has it the next.

Here's what the girls are up to at 11 months:
Both girls currently weigh around 18-19 pounds. I think this number would be much higher had they not been so sick the last few weeks. They're still wearing size 12 month clothes and I'm sure will shortly be moving into size 18 month. I can't imagine though because the next size looks SO big! Both girls are "cruising" from furniture to furniture around the house and Lily is very close to walking. She took her first two steps this month. I'm sure Kate will follow right behind her as she's a little more cautious. Their little knees are no longer red because they're spending the majority of their time now standing.

Bath time is our favorite time of the day. Ever since we got back from the beach, they are obsessed with splashing in the water and crawling around the tub. They're no longer in the infant bath tub and I can usually bathe them at the same time. I love watching them play in the bath tub together.

As you can see from the picture above, the girls are getting a little more aggressive with one another. Here Kate is trying to grab Lily's bow and immediately after, Lily bit Kate for pulling on her face. They steal each others toys and they're starting to realize that that hurts their feelings. I can't imagine how this will all be when they're two.

Kate is really starting to turn into a little ham. She loves music and she loves to dance!

Lily is quite the dare devil and truly has no fear when it comes to trying new things.

Here's the best picture I could get for 11 months. Weak, right? The girls have started Mother's Day Out. Lily went last Monday while Kate was sick and then it was canceled this Monday because of the holiday. It will be so nice to have that free time to go to the grocery store, run errands and work out. I'm so thankful for the time and hope we can stay well and take advantage of it. Plus, it will be good for the girls to get out of the house and interact with the other babies in their class.

Our first birthday is coming up. I can't wait for Kate and Lily to spend their birthdays with friends and family and I can't believe my little girls are about to be one!
