Leah, Emma and Claire (and Jen and John)

The changes on the house are getting more and more subtle. It looks like the electrical, plumbing and heating work is all done. We will have our frame walk in the next few days and then I'm sure the pace will pick up when they start insulating, drywalling and getting it bricked. According to the production timeline, the framewalk is 82 days from closing. That seems so close!

Yesterday we went to Guelph. Carrie had her baby shower and while I was there John went over to Drew's and installed our new carseats. While the girls aren't anywhere near the weight restriction on the infant carriers, they were getting too long and it wasn't safe. It's funny because after all the things that could have got us overwhelmed with having twins, this is really the first thing that seems major to us. The infant carriers were just so easy…they kept them warm and sleeping and in a pinch it only required a bit of muscle to get them somewhere that wasn't stroller friendly. They also provided the perfect feeding chair or napping chair when we were out. To say life without them is going to be a challenge is an understatement! I'm sure I will have plenty of posts complaining about it in the coming weeks while we adjust. I know it will be easier when we have the house and we don't need the stroller just to get them inside.

Enough of the pity party! Leah is starting to "crawl"!! She drags herself across the floor with her elbows. She's not very quick but it won't be long before she figures out the purpose of her knees. I don't think Emma is far behind. You can really see now how if one does something the other is likely to hurry along to do it too.

We have our NICU 8 month adjusted age appointment coming up in a few weeks. Leah is still very floppy and I wonder what they're going to say. She is getting better at sitting but she doesn't like it. As soon as you sit her up she puts her arms out and goes on her belly so she can roll around. Leah is very go go go! I have no idea what they'll say but John has made me promise I won't worry about it seeing as she is doing everything she should be doing and is not some little weakling! Emma is a lot more flexible than she used to be so hopefully they will be pleased with her progress.

We got 10cms of snow last night so we are trapped. The stroller is great but it has 10 little wheels so it's not really snow friendly.
