The babies had a big week. I think I previously reported that Kaitlyn could pull up. We went ahead and lowered both cribs when that happened even though she couldn't get from laying down to sitting (and she couldn't pull up from laying down). We didn't want to find out the hard way in the middle of the night one evening that she had figured out how to sit up and then pulled up and fell out of the crib. So, anyway, we lowered the cribs. Good thing because this week she figured out how to go from laying to sitting. A big moment.
Nicole is getting better at standing unassisted. She doesn't pull up to get there, but if we stand her up and let go, she'll stand. It's great. I wanted to write down in the baby book that she did it for about 30 seconds (I don't think 3 seconds or anything counts for the baby book). Mike said it was more like 10 seconds. We're compromising on 20 seconds, so it will go in the book!!!
And back to Kaitlyn...she said her first word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DaDa of course. Darn it, but I hear that it truly is harder for a baby to say MaMa. And she even proved that to us herself. She's been babbling dadadadadadadadadadadada for about a week now. She just finally shortened it to just DaDa. We still get the babble too, but a word is a word. She does occassionally say just the DaDa part.
Oh, and Nicole is still not "happy" on her belly for long, but she has begun to tolerate it more than in the past which is good. Maybe she'll hit some milestones if she hangs out on her belly more. Who knows?
Now for the pictures....we went to Portrait Innovations this weekend. They give you a CD, so I was able to upload a few shots. Enjoy. (They give you a CD of the whole shoot, so these aren't all photos we bought, but they sure are cute.)
This next one was supposed to be a cute shot of her on her belly looking up, but she started to roll over as they were clicking the photo. So, instead (if you ask me) she looks like she's posing for some cheesy magazine photo shoot. Oh well. And Kaitlyn was supposed to be on her belly too, but she pushed herself to sitting. All in all, the belly photos didn't go over so well.

We're having a Sesame Street themed party for their first birthday which inspired this next round of photos. I thought I could incorporate them into the invite or the thank you notes or something. I brought our dancing Elmo doll to be in the photos too, but we didn't get that far. Good thing we have two months before their birthday.
And this is why....NOT a happy Nicole!!!
