Last week the girls had their 16 month check up. Both of them are right on target and doing very well. Kate is now 25 lbs and Jill isn't far behind weighing 24 lb 12 oz. Obviously they are being fed well. :) They got their first flu shot in hopes that we will avoid it entirely this season!
Both of the gals are expanding their vocabulary and adding a few words. Hopefully soon they will 'verbally vomit' as the dr. said it. She said that her child didn't speak and then one day started speaking and wouldn't stop. In the meantime, we are reading to them daily and step by step naming and explaining things. They have taken much more interest in repeating our words and trying to speak. Oh and something new this week is helping mommy out. They both have taken a lot of interest in "clean up" - putting toys in the basket and in following orders. Even Jill is proud of herself when I ask her to bring me her empty cup for a refill. Now if I can just train them to do laundry, cook, and clean....
Socially, both of the girls are angels. Of course, I am biased as every mom should be. Both of the girls love their Gymboree class and enjoy hugging all of the other moms and instructors. Like I have mentioned before, I don't know wether to be offended that my kids will love on other adults and ignore me at Gymboree or proud that they are interacting and over the 'stranger danger' stage. It's a mixture of both!
Here are some pictures from this week.

THESE TEETH HURT!
This is Murphy showing us his best impression of a unicorn. You know you need to bathe your dog when his hair will stand up by itself. Poor Murphy!

Teething has been running rampant here. Both girls are getting 4 molars at the same time fun right! Good luck.
