(Pictures are from a few months ago - a friend just sent them to me).
Not much new news - just wanted to let you know we are surviving! : ) We've had a few rough days and nights...the girls are finding it difficult to adhere to a plan regardless the amount of coaching from mom and dad! It seems the weekends tend to throw them off schedule. We've really minimized outings - but it seems even attending church (which occurs during their naptime) sends them into a tailspin. Gone are the easy days of "we'll sleep anywhere in our carseats" and now we have "we might sleep for you, but only at home, in our own beds." We have stuck to our sleep plan (previous blog) and hope our consistency champions their inconsistency over time!
The girls have also adopted a new trick of screaming at the sight of strangers...I guess we are beginning our stranger anxiety phase a little early. My developmental book says they can start to show signs of it at 4 months, but it doesn't really get going until 8 to 12 months...well...they are starting right at that 4 month mark!
Addision continues to practice her rolling - it is really all she does with her time - tries to roll while eating, tries to roll during diaper changes, rolls in her crib, rolls on the floor, you get the idea! Jasmine, however, is more interested in her hand to mouth coordination. Yesterday she got a fistful of stuffed giraffe in her mouth, and it was quite humorous to see her twist up her face as she mouthed the little guy! : ) Jasmine also pinched me yesterday - and I was impressed that she could see me, grab me, and pinch - I'm sure I'll be less impressed with that little trick with time...
Alex and I have been working on losing weight for the last several weeks, and we are experiencing some success. It is sickening how guys can lose so much quicker than girls - quite unfair really! My top weight was 230 lbs. at the end of my pregnancy. I'm now officially in the 170's and working for the high 150's. My darling husband currently weighs less than me, and I've threatened to lace his food with butter and buy his favorite fatty snacks and leave them scattered around the house...how is that for supportive! : )
Speaking of weight-loss, time for another walk with the girls!

Hey! I love the update. Congrats on the amazing weight loss as well. I have been working on that as well the last 3 weeks. Call me sometime and we can swap ideas!
Fun! N loves his hand to mouth coordination. :) Sorry to hear about the crazy sleep, or lack thereof! I'm also trying to lose weight- good luck to you both!!
Bonne courage to you two. I always felt with Noah I could deal with anything as long as I was not sleep deprived.... I would say it is going to fall into place soon, the hardest months are over.
Well done on the weight loss Miriam. I have only just got to prepregnancy weight after 14 months....so the scale says... I still feel like a fatty. I now spend my days running after Noah and picking things off the floor so I am sure this forced exercise will help. You will be doing double the running so I am sure you will be a beanpole soon:)
