1. Getting to be in each other's crib is hilarious.
2. You can get your first tooth without complaining, or Mom knowing that it happened. Thanks to Aunt Sara, we found out Cora had her first tooth. I thought it was an almond sliver.
3. Crawling is the number one thing to do - either forwards or backwards. Cora moves at the speed of light forward. Sutter is perfecting the backwards crawl-to-sit move. Sutter took his first full crawl forward on March 24.

4. They drink five bottles a day, although they don't always finish them. We would rather be crawling, per item #3.
5. Eating solid foods is fun, messy, and mostly delicious. The dustbuster has a permanent home near the kitchen now. Cheerios elicit excitement when the box comes out of the cupboard. Dahl, sweet potato and spinach is one of the fan favorites to eat for dinner followed by mango and peach Greek yogurt with cinnamon for dessert.

6. Cooking for the babes is an ongoing and rewarding challenge, as they are starting to develop their palates. We have at least one meal a week that is the same for everyone. Most recently, it was tortellini.
7. Swings are still the favorite activity at the park, although the slide is pretty fun, too. Sutter enjoys going down the slide, with hands at the ready to catch him if he falls back.

8. Making music makes Sutter smile. He loves the musical instruments that we have - shakers, drums and guitar. It makes him happy.
9. Pulling things out of drawers makes Cora yell at the top of her lungs, just so you know that she is up to something suspicious. She often stands on her tippy toes, with very straight legs, to get the most out of her activity.
10. Dada is still the favorite, and only, word. We love Dada!
