Before I started writing this post I spent some time looking at the pictures we took of Charlotte and Jacob right after they were born. They were so tiny and fragile and I realized how quickly I have forgotten what they looked like 10 months ago today. So much has changed over the past 10 months but one thing has remained the same and that is how much fun we are having watching the kids grow. They are both at a very fun stage - lots of "chatting" and moving. From October 1st - October 30th Charlotte and Jacob have:
Continued to gain weight: Charlotte weighs 17 lbs 13 oz and Jacob weighs 17 lbs 3 1/2 oz.
Continued to sleep through the night: We are still working on stretching their bedtime to 7pm from 6 or 6:30p.m. but most nights this month (with the exception of a few) we all slept through the night
Sat unassisted: Jacob has mastered sitting on his own over the past few weeks. He still has the odd wobble / fall but he is much more sturdy on his bum
Pulled themselves up on objects: The other day Charlotte pulled herself up on the "toy box". She enjoyed her new vantage point and played on her knees for a few minutes until she realized she couldn't figure out how to get down. She has been getting better at the getting down part but still yells for "help" from time to time.
At more solid food: We took Charlotte and Jacob to a Japanese restaurant with us and they thoroughly enjoyed sampling things we were eating. We didn't give them any raw sushi but they tried edamame beans, tempura veggies, tofu, beef, rice, udon noodles and a small taste of our green tea ice cream. We also introduced a few new foods including oranges, pasta with meat sauce, and Gerber Graduates cheese puffs
Attended Andrew and Tegan's 1st Birthday Party: On October 15th we got to celebrate Andrew and Teagan's 1st Birthday. We met them (and their parents Lindsay and Jon) at St. Mike's NICU and have remained close ever since. It was great fun to celebrate this milestone with Andrew and Teagan and we can't wait to share many more milestones with them.
Attended their first Halloween Party: Charlotte and Jacob got to test out their Halloween costumes early when they attended their first Halloween party on October 28th. The party was hosted by our friends Sarah, Lucas and Ewan and was also attended by two other sets of twins. It was quite a sight to see all the kids in their costumes!
Activities outside the house: More walks in the stroller, More Stars and Strollers Movies (I Don't Know How She Does It and Ides of March), drop in play time at CECC, Music Class at CECC, runs with Daddy in the Baby Jogger and Swimming Lessons at Douglas Snow Aquatic Centre
