Two Peas in a Pod

Everyday is just full of new and exciting things for my girls and I am so glad to I get to witness it! The personalities are definitely in full bloom. Mia is a ham and Livvy is just a pleaser. They are more and more active everyday and the littlest things bring them enjoyment.

Yesterday was quite a sight to see! If you have been around the house lately, you've seen Livvy's lightning speed crawling. Imagine that, with Mia behind her walking on her knees, holding on to the back of Livvy's shirt as if she were holding on to a horse's reins. Of course, with the biggest smile on her face and loudest giggle coming out of her mouth. If I only knew where I left our camera, I would have tried my darnedest to capture that moment.

They have also taken to tickling each other. When either one is on the floor and there is the tiniest piece of flesh showing at the belly, that is the green light for the other one to go in for the full-on tickle. They even make a "tck, tck" sound.

Many of you have heard stories of the diaper shedding. First it was Livvy, taking off her pants while she slept at night. I would come in and ask "who took off their pants?" and once, Livvy pointed at Mia. Pretty funny! Then, last week, I went to get them up from their naps and Mia had no pants and no diaper on. But she was wearing a huge grin. Mia did this once more, but the 2nd time she had the diaper in her hand when I came in and then threw it on the floor. A couple days go by and no other incidents, until Friday night. My parents were here and dad checked the monitor. He then asked me what Livvy was wearing to bed. I told him pajamas, not sure where he was going with this. He then tells me that it looks like her legs are bare on the monitor. So, I go check so I can redress her, so she won't wake up cold. Low and behold, she is completely bare from the waist down. Diaper (wet) in one corner of the crib and pj pants in the opposite corner. We couldn't stop laughing. She didn't even stir when I put a fresh diaper on and redressed her.

Speaking of diapers and their new-found talent of removing them, as many of you have experienced, diaper changing time is becoming more and more of challenge. They can twist out of the belt on the changing table. So, I have taken to staying on the floor. I was putting Livvy's diaper on and she was struggling and whimpering. Here comes Mia to the rescue, not only does she come over to console Livvy, she also quickly undoes the diaper velcro straps and frees Livvy from the wretched diaper. They are just too much!
