When it comes to play time, the babes are spending time on their tummies. They are able to teeter back and forth, like a turtle on it's back. They are kicking their feet in a motion that shows how a baby will begin to crawl. They both grunt and yell out as they eye their toys, move their legs and try to move. You can see their determination. When we put toys in front of them, they can reach with their hands to grab them. If they miss the toy on the first try, they try again. We love watching them learn.
On their backs, Cora is able to lift her legs straight up and then roll to the side. She can even roll to her stomach now. In bed, she prefers to sleep on her stomach, although it causes me a bit of nervousness. I find myself checking the monitor to be sure that she is still breathing. Sutter hasn't mastered rolling over yet, but this weekend, he is determined to grab his feet. He will lift his legs, and at least grab his pants, and sometimes even his foot.
In outdoor news, we've taken them to the two local parks for some swing time. We are able to put them in the baby swings, leaning them forward so their arms hang out the sides. At first, they didn't really know what to make of the experience. You could see them teetering inside the swing. But they are starting to get the hang of it now. They have laughed a little and Cora even opens her mouth as she gets close to me. She thinks that there may be something to put in her mouth. Funny girl!
We received these onesies from our good friends, Kelli & Erwin. They are so cute. The hat fairy sent along these turkey tops. They wear little hats every night when we take our family walk between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. They need to stay warm as the nights have begun to cool down for us. I had a good time taking their photos. I think that you can say that the babes had an OK time being photographed.
