Zoey had found her tongue a couple of weeks ago and has since just been sucking on her fist and clicking her tongue. Andrea just figured out how to do the same thing a few days ago. Zoey also loves to talk to her fishy friend in her swing. She is such a little sweetie. Andrea and Zoey both seem to have a friend to talk to almost every time I have them in the rocking chair. They have plenty of spirit friends to talk to so that would not surprise me in the least. It is so fun to see them talk and coo and smile. When Andrea smiles she smiles with her eyes as well and it is one of the most darling things you will ever see. It always makes my heart melt. Zoey gives us big smiles as well that are just as cute. These girls are happy growing girls and I love them so much.
I still have a hard time believing that God trusted me so much that he gave me two of his precious daughters to raise. I really feel humbled by that. I know the future will bring many trials and struggles as we try to raise these two cuties, but I guess God knew I could handle it so I better just buckle down and do my best. I can't wait until they are old enough to start going to Young Womens and girls camp because that is where I really grew as an individual and I hope they will have similar opportunities to do the same.
Another thing the girls are getting better at is bath time. Andrea used to hate bath time and would scream as soon as we put her in the water. We quickly discovered that if we left the water running, it was enough white noise to calm her down. Zoey didn't seem to have as much as a problem with bath time as Andi did. Now they both seem to like it just fine. I get the water warm enough and I put them in their tub and they just lay there and relax as I wash them. Sometimes it is getting out of the warm water that makes them angry, and understandably so.
These two smarties are also getting pretty close to rolling over. I think it is only a matter of time before they figure it out. They seem to really like tummy time and their necks are getting so strong. Though these girls were preemies, I think they are doing really well to catch up to other babies. They may not be exactly there with the rest of the babies their age, but they are not too far behind.
As I said, we love our girls and they are so unique in their personalities. I am excited to see what the future will bring.
I think their fevers from their shots yesterday have really left them tuckered out. Rest up ladies, that means mommy can go make some cookies! :P
They are getting so big! I'm so glad that they are doing well, and that motherhood has been such a blessing for you, Haley. They will soon be bigger than James, I'm thinking. ;) Give them kisses from us. Love you!!
