Recent Updates! Wednesday - November 26, 2008

• Rocco officially started walking today! No more than 3 steps at a time…but he’s walking.
• Matteo is pulling up to a stand in his crib (started doing this almost 3 weeks ago).
• Rocco will stand-up, clap and wave on command.
• Matteo is scooting around the furniture and working on standing up by himself without any support.
• Matteo feeds himself with a fork really well (fork-able foods, that is… pasta, mac-n-cheese, etc.). He actually prefers to feed himself with the fork over you putting foods in his mouth.
• Matteo can say “ma ma”, “da da”, “mom”, “toe”, “go”, “no”, “rocco” (he’s said Rocco 3 times!).
• Rocco can say “ma ma ma ma”, “da da da da”, “ba ba ba ba”, “pa pa pa pa”.
• Rocco will shake his head “no” when he doesn’t want anything more to eat or when he doesn't want to do something you've asked him to do.
• The boys both are eating more solids lately. They seem to really like mac-n-cheese, pasta with tomato sauce, bananas, graham crackers, apple slices, avocado.
• Gabby seems to change into at least 10 outfits a day lately. That includes at least 3 princess outfit changes, as well as shoe and accessory changes.
• We are fresh off another week of sicknesses that seemed to spread to all members of the house. Gabby’s cold and upper respiratory infection started it… leading to Rocco’s double ear infection, Matteo’s bronchitis, and a horrible cough and upper respiratory infection that hit Julia, myself and Dan. Fun stuff!
• Gammy and Papa arrived and they are here to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with us! It’s been so much fun to have them see what we get to see everyday… the kids playing together, developing, growing, testing things and us, etc.
