Virtue Mine Honour
This post is on time! Eileen and Ewan are 11 months old today.
Ewan continues his mobility training. He pulls himself up on every ledge he comes across. He can walk holding on to furniture. This has lead to a fair amount of tumbling and falling on his head ☹️. Ewan has discovered how to open the wipes container, and it’s his new favourite thing. He also loves taking everything off the shelf. When I start to tidy things up and put them back he comes racing over to pull it all off again.
This post is again a couple of weeks late. The babes turned 10 months old on February 22, 2018.
New things this month: major improvements on pincher grasp and eating skills (which come hand in hand… haha). They tried straight lemons and liked it!
We watched a lot of Olympics (especially curling). I was #olympicobsessed
Ewan is a machine. He is super fast at crawling and has started pulling himself up on ledges.
Both Eileen and Ewan had bad diaper rash this month, but four days in a row of bare bumming it cleared the rash right up.
Ewan pulled himself up to standing last night for the first time
This afternoon the babies had their first bath in the big tub.
Ewan spent the majority of the time splashing the water with his right hand.
Last night Ewan face planted while
crawling around. This is his first injury. So far he doesn’t seem bothered by the injury and it hasn’t affected nursing or eating.
Ewan and Eileen had eggs and halibut yesterday. They did not like the taste of either. Ewan reluctantly ate it but Eileen flat out refused. As soon as it touched her lips she had a big dramatic reaction spitting, scrunching her face and shivering! She is definitely a pickier eater than Ewan.
Their eating skills are improving. They are handling bigger chunks of food. They’ve been feasting on home made sourdough bread dipped in soup for lunch. We just added lunch time meals this week.
We went outside today and braved the cold. We only went for a short 20 minute walk around the block, Eileen was not happy. I think she didn’t like not being able to suck on her fingers haha!
Last night Eileen and Ewan started intentionally babbling to each other.
They did it again twice today. I am sure they are having a secret conversation about how great their moms is… lol!
