These two are going to be great friends. When I get Edie up in the morning and bring her in to say good morning to Winston, he always waves at her. I think she's growing on him. And she already loves Bob so they've got that in common.
They are starting to share food. Edie takes things off Winston's tray and eats them,
And Winston takes things I give to Edie.
But they are bound to be great friends!
We tried to re-create Winston's chubby leg picture. We should have done it several months ago, as Edie is getting longer but not fatter :) She had her 9 month checkup a few weeks ago and I forgot to post her stats! She weighs 17 lbs 4 oz (45%) and is 28.8" long (90%)
She loves to pull herself up on furniture and look around. She loves making noises :) Check out those cheeks!
And she is quite the crawler now, she never stays still!
And Winston's found a new favorite thing to play with, his cousin's play cell phone. He walks around with it glued to his ear. His therapists have come over a couple of times now and it's been interesting to learn different things we can do to help him develop. We've seen some progress, he said No No for the first time this week! He pushed Edie over in the bath tub (Whit caught her before she fell, luckily) and we said "No Winston! You don't do that." To which he responded, "No no." We had to catch ourselves from cheering because we were so excited to hear a new word, but we refrained because of course we didn't want him to think it was ok to push his sister. But it was really exciting for us! Oh, and Edie cut her first tooth this week too. Lots of fun milestones :)
I think every parent hopes that their kids will love and watch each others back. Some times it doesn't happen until they are older but it is still pretty sweet when they finally get it. ....some day you will be glad you have a sister type stuff.
