| Happy baby Alina enjoying the rainy Sunday |
We had such gorgeous weather in January and February, that I thought it may just continue on until spring, but thankfully we finally received some much needed rain mid-March. Rainy Sundays indoors, have become fun times for the girls. Elise likes to bring all her toys out to the front room and play. She especially enjoys playing with her myriad of Disney figurines. Alina likes to chew on anything she can get her hands on, and (much to Elise's dismay) has a craving for those very same Disney figurines. Mom and Dad are grateful for the rainy days as well. Watching the babies play together has become an enjoyable new past time. Plus, we stayed extremely busy during January and February, and did quite a bit of traveling, so it has been nice to just relax at home and enjoy a weekend with no plans, as it rarely ever happens anymore.
In baby Alina news, she is quickly mastering the art of mobility. She started sitting up on her own at 7 months old. One week later and she can now sit up for extended periods of time very well. Alina is sooo close to fully crawling! She is creeping all over the place. This mainly consists of rolling, army crawling and inch-worming to get where she wants to go. When I put her down she moves immediately and can pretty much span an entire room using her patented roll, pull, inch-worm technique. She is getting better each day and as of now, I predict she will be officially crawling within another 3-4 weeks! She is also a baby chatterbox. Her vocabulary primarily consists of ma, da, ba, wa and ga. She has been saying "ga-ga" for about a week now, and I think she is very close to saying "ma-ma". Trust me, I'm working all the angles to ensure that "ma-ma" is her first word.
